This article is for the term 'Replayability,' acting as a double-up on the concept Input Replay System. For the tool, see Replayability (tool).

Replayability is technical jargon that began spread-through late-2020 in the Obby community. Defined as the act of replaying movement. The term is coined by Watheck, a well known figure in the community.

Overview

Alongside the hardest completed Obbies as of the time, members in the community wanted to seek a method to record runs, and replay them all without revealing the consequences it has on the Obbyist's completion proof. In the late 2020's period, this was a hot contemporary topic, majorly the objective to push the human limit ceiling. This inspired programmer Watheck and Obbyist aekiyra (now nwaii) to develop a tool and distribute it to Obbyists for making complete runs to fool the community. [1]

This method was considered unlegit, as runs used checkpoints to retry the obstacle/jump. Unlike traditional checkpointing systems, Replayability was a tool dedicated for hiding the evidence of a run being illegitimate.

History

Replayability boosted its commmunity recognition after the surfacing of marcusterry's (@marcusterry) YouTube video, about a completion video of Stairway to Heaven, tier 18 Obby. From the same creator of the tool Replayability uploaded a YouTube video explaining the concept clearly to purify the criticism over marcusterry, the Obbyist who faked many Obby runs.[2]
