Just a tip to runners...

Control type C allows you to strafe and uses psuedo RE4 controls, but using another scheme may mean easier dodges, but you loose that strafe, which while slow, means you don't have to lumber around when going from cover to cover during the laser parts.

Also....

STUN ROD IS EPIC WIN.

When you have prior knowledge of a spawn point for Manjini, just run there and spam the damned thing. Even better if using control type c, as you will automatically go into a punch or kick or whatever. Not only that, but if the enemy so much as has the AUDACITY to pop a head parasite... it instantly dies on the next swing for unknown reasons. They just can't take the stun rod....

So yeah...

Just finished. Wow. Just...wow. This game is EPIC. It's going to be a nightmare to speed run on single player, though. Oh man.

Single player will be tough to run.........
I am still at chapter 4-2. Trying to take my time and enjoy this game. Smiley

So the stun rod is the way to go eh? Also does it make you run faster?
I use A Controls....is that not an ideal control style for RE5 speed run?

For New Game runs:

I'll try and knock up a video soon, but on the giant spider-like boss on the central rotating pillar (I think it's 4-2, something like that, same area as place you first spot the Lickers) if you go there equipped with the Grenade Launcher and 3 grenades (on Amateur at least), you can kill the boss in probably just over 1 minute. Grenade launcher the legs, grenade in mouth and simply repeat two more times. The launcher (certanly on Amatuer) will take out the leg in one shot, dropping the boss straightaway. Grin

Quote from The_Quiet_Man:

- If you manage to damage Wesker 5 times during the 7 minute fight, it ends it early (It also gives you an achievement award). Good luck getting that to work with Sheva's AI working the way it does to keep Jill off your back though. I'm pretty sure the knife would work perfectly against him.

Not necessarily. The easiest way to damage Wesker 5 times is to use a similar trick to the one in 6-3 (this probably for a cleargame only). Fire an RPG at him, he'll struggle with it for a bit, shoot the warhead, then shoot him some more. Simple.

Just watched that 1-2 video and wasn't sure if the RL would be 1 shot kill but it is. I'll need to organise an Inventory for a new game+ run. Do we all agree on a Magnum in top slot, RL in bottom, maybe the Druganov sniper and Infinite ammo with rest used for the bulletproof vest etc?

Has anyone tested the running speed of Sheva against Chris? Seems she might be a fraction faster.

I still don't know how this is gonna work for a co-op speedrun. I'm guessing that you hit play game > chapter select > 1-1 or whatever. Once it loads up you invite a friend?

My new best 1-1 is 8:50 so far intill some one finds a way to beat the round quicker anyways i'm going to work on getting 1-2 down to below 3:50 now.

Finished an "OK" Chapter 1 speedrun with Infinite Launcher and Magnum. My total is 13:04. If i can get to around Alan's time (only 5 seconds slower) and do a no error 1-2 then i'll be near the top.

Well me and Alan started a co-op run of 1-1 and 1-2. We have allmost perfected 1-2 (Time of 3:10) and we are Rank 20 and 21 on Leaderboard. The top guy is still 18 seconds infront of us and he must be gaining that time in Public Assembly of 1-1. Me and Alan have been experimenting abit and the time till the cutscene can vary by alot (one was a minute)

Any ideas on how to speedup Public Assembly? I've googled but looks as if everyone is as clueless as me.

got 11'54 now on veteran, co-op, still trying to figure out if something triggers kirk to speak faster on public assembly :S

It won't matter very much when you have to wait on your partner character for a lot of things.

Is there like, a bare minimum of Majini to kill before Kirk shows up?

Not sure about bare minimum but when you go out all guns blazing and kill everything in sight it just lengthens the time it takes for Kirk to show up. I think there might be some difficulty adjustements creeping in. I'll run through again with Alan and purposefuly get hit afew times to see if that affects it at all.

Just thought of something. Do you think installing the game to the HD would speed loading up?

Carcinogen

2009-03-15 12:40:47 am

Spiral - For the 360, sure. The PS3 version (as for most PS3 games) requires you to install data prior to playing.

2009-03-15 12:49:32 am

So it would pretty much be a requirement for speed running, then. That may be what's giving the top guys the advantage.

Carcinogen

2009-03-15 01:19:34 am

Well, I mean, there's no reason *not* to install game data to the hard drive unless it's cluttered with XBLA games. =p

Be warned: a singleplayer run will test the patience of many a runner. This is a test speedrun of 1-2 on Pro, complete with Chris getting stuck on a Majini corpse for 10 seconds moving back and forth like an idiot. It's a hoot. On the other hand at least Uroboros 1 will take about 2 seconds in a cleargame run Cheesy

Just to let you know that installing to the hard drive doesn't affect game time. All it does is insanely speed up the loading time for each area. Even if both players have it installed you'll still need to put up with disc loading via online co-op.

if difficulty adjustment plays any7thing while waiting for kirk or whatever try getting hit alot? have no guns grab them inbetween chapters. as we know diffculty adjustment matters about arsenal and damage taken pretty much.

also my gt is

PsiLoH

for anyone interested. wont be messing with speed running for awhile. because friends and such who want to play the game. but most of them are beat the game once and not play it for awhile. so free time will be coming up. also any freetime i do have is me messing around with upgrades and such.

No weapons are you asking to to die in the game or what you have to have a weapon you will never last if you don't have atleast 1 weapon on that fight area
