Changes

* Looking and aiming is much easier using just one stick instead of a combination of the stick and C-buttons

* It is harder to open doors with 1.2 with full speed and strafe, but the use of "alien finger" can fix this. You should use your index finger to open doors, or if this is too hard, remove left thumb from joystick to hit b quickly. Though you have less control this way

If you've grown used to 1.1 it is important you stop and learn 1.2 before attempting to speed run

There are a bunch of other systems you can use - 1.3 and 1.4 are basically 1.1 and 1.2 with the fire and weapon buttons reversed, not good at all because it makes shooting while running MUCH harder. The dual-controller systems are very precise, using the analogue sticks on two pads for control. But there are two big drawbacks. Firstly, once again you can't jump to full speed straight off, you have to push the stick forward. More importantly, hitting the A and B buttons from the position on the stick is very tricky. If you're not sure, stick with 1.1 or 1.2. However, a few people have experimented with 2.x and had some success.
