//Here is a link for the old thread in Newer Consoles. Thanks Greenalink, LigerOfFortune, and 0range for your findings!//
Seems as if this game has been abandoned in the Newer Console section, so I'm starting this here because I play on the PC (as with most of my game collection). I bought it on D2D before it went under but it has taken me this long to get into it hahaha. I've been practicing it actually for the past few days now. Because this can be a very short game my desire to play the levels over and over is working out great. The only level I can see being the most difficult / giving me the most trouble is going to be Albatross. Normal difficulty is currently on my mind, but I wouldn't outright reject the idea of a Super Hard run...although I foresee that causing me massive rage.
The gas and lightning room skips work in the PC version, confirmed that today. Also right now I am practicing the powerclaw barrier skip and I am thinking that to get the skip it is entirely dependent on the position of the claw in the barrier. I haven't practiced the area 12 laser wall skips yet. Because I am playing on the PC version there is no invincibility glitch that I am aware of, so enemy bullets will have to suffice (I bet that glitch would work if the game had Games for Windows Live lol).
Or I could be wrong about the position theory, I'm just trying to think this can't be a random occurrence. When standing still in front of it, shooting out the claw doesn't always put it in the same spot each time so for moving it I just hit arm then down and arm again until I think the location is good.
While messing around I found a couple of funny OoB spots, no relation to speed running the game though. Couple more screens of my claw's position on it:
EDIT: All of my practice with that skip thus far has actually been on the barrier that requires the Bazooka. It would seem that the Area 3 barrier is acting a whole lot different. I can't get it as frequently as I can in Area 6..
Yay for pointless OoB!
This Area 3 one I found on YouTube
While in Area 8 I discovered it on my own. See the shadow outside the ceiling above the elevator? ^_^
