That's exactly how I do it. In my demos, you'll usually see me get close to the gap (a little to the right, where when I press forward, I'm at the exact angle I need to be and move slightly left). Once I'm at that point, I grab the mouse and get to the pixel-perfect position I need to be at (if I'm going south, east, or north). West glides are so easy that I can just keep pressing the mouse forward and I'll go through automatically (unless when I set up, I managed to be too far to the left from the start). For west glides, the only thing I need to worry about is setting myself up and getting close enough to the gap without it being too slow (c410o201 is a bad example of this--I had a pretty slow setup. cc27o158 has better west glides). South, east, and north are a bit more annoying (especially east and north) because I don't automatically go through as I'm moving the mouse. I either have to move it really slowly to nearly guarantee getting through (which obviously takes too much time in a demo) or just hope I get lucky enough that my position lines up exactly with the gliding gap as I'm moving the mouse forward so I can go through. That's why c410o201 was so annoying--it featured an east glide that wasn't right at the beginning of the run/the only real thing I had to worry about going right. Take it from a natural keyboarder who learned how to do guideless glides really late in the game compared to other speedrunners, haha. Thank you! I really appreciate that, though I must say there are a lot of speedrunners who have much greater skill than I.

Thanks! I actually do use vertical mouse movement to glide, but the positioning is all done with the keyboard.

Cchest4 MAP10 in 2:01.94. Shows the double-glide route. c410o201.zip

Community Chest (1) MAP16 in 27.37. Much better setup/faster glide in this one. cc16o027.zip

Understood, Grazza. I'm sorry if I came off as impolite in any way. Here's another demo with more glides. This one doesn't have any past demos except for UV-Maxes on DSDA, so this route is probably original. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) Cchest (1) MAP27 nomo in 1:58.94. cc27o158.zip

Oh nice, I didn't even notice that demo was on DSDA when I was looking at Vile.wad. I'll definitely have to try it again like that. I found the last glide not to be terrible with vertical mouse movement, though I agree that it's a bit awkward (referencing your textfile). In the meantime, the glide saga continues.

A couple of nomos for Vile.wad: MAP15 (normal exit) in 53.60. MAP15 (secret exit) in 57.94. vi15nomos.zip

I believe j4rio's tysons for Plutonia MAP01 and MAP02 (14:58 and 7:42, respectively) got skipped over in the update. MAP03 and MAP04 are there, however.

Yep 11 is a very interesting map structure-wise. There is a lot of memorization just to get through the map normally, and it becomes even more challenging with route changes to save time. I was really blown away by it the first time I played through it, and it's still quite an impressive map to me. AV MAP13 nomo 100 in 1:32.77. av13s132.zip

Thanks! I think that it's because you can't do MAP07, then the episode is considered incomplete. It would be possible to have a MAP01-MAP06 movie if you wanted to do that, and you could list it as such. Otherwise, if you want to do complete episodes, you could always go for episodes 2 and 3 (which, understandably for AV, would be a bit daunting imo) in the nomo 100 category. There's also individual levels. I may try to record an IL (individual level) demo for MAP13 later today if I can get enough work done for school before it gets too late.
