Nice one! And it definitely brings a safe strat for Gemlik base even for an NG run!
Anyway, I don't know if I should skip the Trespasser, and spending more time in collecting bolts... As without BTS and Batalia bonus bolts from Trespasser rooms, I think it's going to be tough.

@Inffi
You mention 50hz mode. So I take it that the Gemlik fence skip is PAL version only? Really bizarre difference there.

yeah, i tried on ntsc. didn't work at all. possibly more glitches that are only found on pal?

Totally Radical Awesome Game

48:17 NG+ Pretty happy with this, but it's still improvable by a minute or so with the risky strats.

This game is amazing. I found another skip on Gemlik that works on NTSC, is good for NG runs, and it's faster than the fence. I'll get footage of it soon, I'm going to do some attempts tonight.

CavemanDCJ's run features a complete skip of killing mobs thing- goes straight to quark battle area.

Nice time Caveman! Also I kind of stopped routing 100%, sorry Orch. It really isn't too different from cypryss' run except including all relevant skips that have been found. Also don't buy the devastator, just the visibomb. Bolt management still needs a lot of work as far as where to get bolts and when during the run.

In other news, I've been working pretty heavily on improving my qwark vidcomic times. Just recorded a 1:33.3 issue 1 run Smiley

That gemlik skip is insane. Good find.

Btw... O_o on your 1:07:13 (then 1:07:11). NG.

Dat bolt route without Trespasser is awesome...
If only there was a reliable way to skip the Decoy Glove on Quartu, the run would be definitely sub-hour.

Found new Clank skip. Can be done way faster than in the video. Dvd recorder caused too much input lag that messed my timing.

Beat me to it! I knew something could be done at that wall, but I didn't test anything yet. Good find.

Nice find Inffi. First major break in orxon 1 segment. =) I wonder if that trick is possible in NG, it'd have to be an insanely precise jump though.

Raritanium early skip for 100%.

Inffi's "fence skip" adapted for 60Hz:
(This could be what Grizzlyblues was going to post so, sorry if I stole ideas)

I also had an idea of somehow going to were you clip from the beginning of the stage but I was not able to bypass the death trigger yet. Maybe you other guys could have a go?

I posed this because it is a Decoy-less method and in the new Any% route, you skip buying the Decoy Glove.

2013-04-11 07:22:38 pm

I don't think that it's possible at all- the area is too far.

2 skips on gemlik base
The second one is basically caveman's glitch, except i do it closer to the window. Way easier in my opinion.

To my knowledge this works on both 50 and 60hz

Gemlik base is so broken now lmao.

Speaking of the Moonbase, does anyone know if there's a way to skip the Qwark fight on the PAL version? I've tried it and the game loads the fight instead of skipping it. I'm assuming this is a regional difference; the copy I'm using is original, not Platinum. I'm not sure about the PAL HD version.

Orchisawesome

2013-04-14 02:23:28 pm

There's no regional difference (ntsc) for quark skip afiak. Loading fight happens to me sometimes. I think that it's due to doing it too quickly. Try to break crates THEN cross the yellow lines, when you see orange lights, then die to get infobot.

The way I do is I walk down the 1st yellow line after the skip towards where your new ship is supposed to be to trigger the red lights or whatever. Works for me every time.

2013-04-14 04:05:20 pm

Hmm, thats odd i havent had any problems doing the quark skips on PAL neither on the ps2 nor the HD collection.
Oh, and while talking about region differences. The veldin grav ramp glitch, you know, this one

Works on my PAL ps2 version

I dont know if this is already known, but i havent seen it mentioned anywhere.

Magnet boots continuing to work beyond the strip seems to be platinum version only (hd collection is ported platinum version). Other than that, I've only observed minor decoy glove differences (easily attributable to angle differences). Like, I absolutely cannot get 1 shot quartu door to work, while original version of r&c runners are able to do it easily.

The biggest difference between ps2 and ps3 is that hd collection have slower loading time (cant load as you save), lag randomly, and a bunch of other annoying lagging quirks. The best version to speedrun with is ntsc ps2 platinum version. As that it includes all relevant glitches and no extraneous lag.

There is that glitch on Kalebo III that I've only got to work on 50hz (unless it's doable on 60hz). I know that wouldn't be relevant on an any% run, and it might not save time on a 100% run, but it's something to think about.

On that topic, would 100% just be all the missions and Gold Bolts, or would it require Skill Points?

Orchisawesome

2013-04-15 05:09:40 am

Current 100% definition isn't clear. Some people prefer all sp+gb (skill points and gold bolts), all sp+gb+missions, or all sp+gb+missions+items (excluding weapons and rari).
