- Technically, Venom starts having trouble climbing ledges at about 80 FPS: normally you can release the directional input as soon as the climbing animation starts, but at that framerate you have to hold it to keep Venom from falling afterward. For Spidey, at 144 FPS he can still climb most ledges, but not those on sloped roofs.
