Cheating in Beat Saber (A Documentary)

I hope it was worth the wait.

WARNING:
I'm having this video specifically focus on Top-Players in each Beat Saber community and everything represented shouldn't apply to casual players. Though I recommend not using all of the techniques I mention if you want to become a better player, with exceptions of those mentioned with not any major benefit or them having a general acceptance in the community.

The statements I share in the video come mainly from the challenge community of Beat Saber. The judgement if something is considered cheating or not, might differ when you are part of the ranked community, as stated in some parts! The same applies if you are playing in a tournament, the techniques mentioned might or might NOT be considered cheating, depending on the ruleset that is used in the competition you are playing in.

I tried to keep the explanation simple and tight, so the video won't end up being too long, yet can be understood by someone with little to no knowledge about the game! See this video as a guide to different techniques in Beat Saber, while determining if their use-case would be considered cheating/unfair or not.

This video took way longer to make and finish than I have first expected.
I set myself way higher goals than I should've and really went out of my way when making this video.
I've also basically re-designed the entire video mid-through the project and started from scratch again.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
In the Top- and Bottom-Cheese part I want to give additional credit to murple and kaycee as being top players who play bottom-row vibro without cheese.

ASW is NOT on every headset, there are other technologies similarly on other headsets, while ASW being exclusive to quest/rift headsets. The feature is also more complex and in-depth than I have covered in the video, since I only touched on reprojection itself. Explaining it wasn't the main point of that part anyway, so everything else mentioned is still correct!

Vrmode is now enabled on default going forward from 1.29.4. it doesn't "remove vrmode", but instead makes it mandatory to use.

When I was talking about weight distribution on palm grip, the center of mass is slightly offset than shown in the video. In the case of Quest 1/Rift S controllers, that would be slightly more offset to the actual "grip" of the controller. This may differ from controller to controller.

The song used at the prediction part is called "Aran - Chaotic Neutral"!

Thanks to Mal0 for the Prediction Footage!
I used the grip images from Denyah's grip guide, I hope he's okay with that!!

All the songs used in the video have a little pop-in cards so you can see which song I used in which part, so no need to ask me which song was used where!
