Gold Standard
Hello all! This is my first post on SDA but i've been doing speedruns and stuff for the past year, and ever since I started i've been going on and off about doing a SS run of the original Blinx for the original Xbox.
The only problem is that there are very few resources to use. The only things I could find have been a few glitches, some ILs, and some random things I keep seeing on cheat sites.
The two main glitches I found online have been Trash Stacking and Wall Clipping, and while they sound useful and are cool to do, they inevitably fail in a speedrun considering that the goal of each level is to defeat all of the monsters in any given level before reaching the exit, which means that Clipping through walls won't make much of a difference considering that you'll have to go back to kill the monster(s) you left behind anyways. As for stacking, the invisible walls in the game make it really hard to do what would be some great oob stuff. It just ends up being just a bug that allows you to get a height advantage.
As for the ILs, they seem cool but it's obvious that they did some major grinding for the sweeper that allows you to pick up heavier objects that block shortcuts. Which seems to be a waste of time imo. Also they are very few and far between.
And finally the cheat site stuff. I keep seeing the same things on every site I go to that offer "cheats", in particular they talk about this way of finishing levels fast or skipping them all together.
You can give them a try, I couldn't get either of them to work. But if you can get it to work be my guest and record it while you're at it! http://www.cheatcc.com/xb/blinx.html
Anyways, if you guys have any suggestions how I would go about doing this or if you considered running this game yourself, please post!
