Reviving the thread. Is anybody who runs this game still active with it besides jymotion?

Honestly, I wouldn't even consider myself very active.  I haven't timed a run in months.  vayarda pb'd a little over two months ago after that little carpet shortcut was found.  I think bagoms' pb has gotten better the past couple times I checked, but I haven't seen him streaming it.  With a game this short, I think people kinda grind it until they get a run they're happy with.

I'd be down for a race sometime.  I'm just unable to stream until July.
Swordless could be interesting as a novelty.  Health management would be big.  Ideal strat would be to get as close as possible, throw the apple and stop-run past them before they attack again.
Hi everyone,

I personally restarted a little Disney's Aladdin for the French Berets Marathon. Race could indeed be interesting, I know TheSweetKnight wanted to do it, we could be many. Yet to find a time, motivate people to get started and agree on a category. In any case, the idea is interesting.

Uhhhh 10
I'd be down to exchange skype info and start a group or something. At least then we could just see when we were all around to do stuff.

We need to prep up Jymotion for SGDQ anyway.

EDIT: Also I wouldn't mind throwing together a leaderboards on googledocs if this is something that people would want.
About the leaderboard, Jymotion started one on this thread. I don't know if a new on GoogleDocs is interesting, but why not. My Skype's account is Vayarda.
Vive la France !
Hello everyone ! Thank you to add me in the leaderboard !

I think my PB is really bad, I've play on Normal difficulty and I will pass on Hard difficulty.
I will try to come closer of the time of vayarda, who make a amazing run, with really clean move ! My objective now it's to make a sub 13 minutes.

I'm sorry if you don't understand me, I've a really bad english.
Hi I_Wanna_Be_a_Nerd and welcome.

Your PB is good even if you made some mistakes thumbsup you could make a sub 13min in few days, I guess, simply to improve your exe, especially for Inside The Lamp and Sultan's Palace. Yet to pass the two skip in the same run Grin
Vive la France !
Thank you Vayarda ! Smiley

Ahah , I don't reset on this mistakes because it was my last run before i've to go out ! and I've decided to don't reset on this run, that make me laught when I realized it going to be my new personal best after the second skip Smiley

I know the begin of the sultan palace is really slow on my run, I have to training this part ! Smiley
I decide to play on Hard difficulty of course that will make the two last levels more difficult Smiley

Yeah, The Desert become also more difficult when you pass on Hard Mode.
Vive la France !
I don't understand why did you take the damage in Sultan's dungeon at 4 minutes on your PB ? Smiley

With the spikes ? It's a mistake Grin normally, I have a timing to pass through without take damage.
Vive la France !
Oh ok, I was think it was a set up to make a platform appear faster or I don't know why Smiley

It's difficult to have enough apple to jafar in Hard mode
Uhhhh 10
Good luck Jymotion at SGDQ.

I might get back to this when I get back from EVO, actually. I'm pretty confident I can get sub 13 now, which would be amazing.

thanks, mate.  you definitely have sub-13 in you.  I'll try to tune in.
Congrats Jymotion for the SGDQ thumbsup

The run was good despite some deaths, the difficulties of the live I guess Grin I would like to see the Palace Skip but you tried the Rooftops Skip, it was cool Wink

Thanks dude. I wasn't expecting a perfect run. I did make a conservative effort at the palace skip. Unfortunately, I've been missing it a lot on console and have to redo that carpet ride. Wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Has anyone successfully done the rooftops skip on console? I know most people play on emulator, but I figured I'd ask anyway.  I was never great at it on emulator, but I have not been able to get it once on console (US Genesis Model 2). I haven't been as consistent with the sultan's skip either, but I have gotten it several times.

It'd be nice to get another opinion to see if it's awkward on the Genesis controller, actually harder/impossible to do on console, or if I just need to get good.
________________

update: just got it a few times, so it is indeed possible. would still be nice to know if it's harder or if it's just me

proof, for posterity - Rooftops, Sultans
Vive la France !
Hi everybody !
I will try to make a good PB with my new PS4 pad, somebody still play this game ? Roll Eyes
Hey I'm new here. I've been watching some of the top speed runs. These are amazing! Thanks everyone for playing this game haha. I had some questions I was wondering if y'all could help me out. I was wondering how many people can get the rooftop skip and the first level first camel jump skip where you avoid the genie. I'm playing on console and three button controller. Also during The Escape, can you jump the lava spurts without swinging your sword at the apex of the jump? What's the highest possible jump? Furthermore, when jumping and swinging your sword at a bouncy rod, how do you get it to shoot you in the opposite direction instead of straight up or missing it all together? Continuing, how do you use the bouncing rod to grab the first flute without landing on the roof that the flute is on? In addition, how do you run from platform to platform and skip the genie after you climb the rope, shimmy across the pool, and kill the knife juggler? Many thanks.

I used the 3-button controller when I got my PB but switched to the 6-button afterwards because the d-pad on the former was stiff as hell and was destroying my thumb. Everything however is possible on the original hardware.

Agrabah Streets
You just have to swing your sword at the right time for the camel skip. You can learn the timing with some practice. I don't get it every time but it's a quick reset if you miss it. To get those mega jumps off flagpoles, camels, Genie head springs and like, you just have to run (not jump) off a platform and then hold jump before landing.

After climbing up the rope, you can skip another Genie and just run from platform to platform with the help of a well-timed sword swing. The timing is actually pretty lenient. The same principle works for the platforms at the start of Sultan's Palace.

I believe the description on TASVideos mentioned that the reason why all these sword tricks work is that the swing extends Aladdin's hitbox.

Agrabah Rooftops
Slashing the flagpoles is another trick where you just have to get a feel of the timing. If Aladdin is falling and slashing right when he's next to a flagpole, his extended hitbox will actually land on the flagpole. The further he's from the flagpole, the more horizontal speed he'll get. I think I swing around the apex of the jump (not exactly at the maximum height). If you fail you'll just fall though.

I also tried to get the TAS skip either to the left or to the right of the first flagpole. I got really close but couldn't get it even once. But I still think it's possible, just ridiculously hard. I certainly would not be happy if this skip was required, though.

The Escape
I'm pretty sure you can just jump over the lava spurts without swinging. It's just a bad habit and doesn't do anything here.

In short, all you just have to learn is the timing for all these little tricks, so experiment with the flagpole slashes and platform runs until you reach a reasonable success rate. I had to make an account for this rant Tongue
Thanks so much I've been practicing and I'm getting faster. I'll probably get a 6 button controller. Do you guys have any tips for throwing two apples per jump at the first boss? I seem to be able to get it some times if I jam the button really fast xD
