Why Using Autofire (Turbo) is NOT Cheating, Arcade vs. Speedrunning Rulesets. In today's video, I go over why in shmups and arcade scoring using autofire is allowed and why this is compared to speedrunning where the use of autofire (turbo) is typically banned. This is an important misconception to get cleared up and maybe speedrunning may want to reconsider their current stance on their typical banning of autofire.
