I'm the man.......nothing else needs to be said

Butters those notes are AWESOME! Very nicely detailed. And yes after some testing last night you were correct and letting Butters fall asleep is indeed faster by almost ten seconds

Yeah, sorry for the shitty link, was the first host i thought of when Carc was talking to me.

To clarify, all I did was look at what files the decensor replaced, and uploaded the ones from my version. That's all I did.

Ha, awesome job Butters. I made myself a similar guide to get my last run down to 1:53:00. Was my first run using mouse/keyboard as opposed to 360 controller, felt a lot quicker once I'd got the feel of the control scheme down - especially in Menuing and Fast Travel.

I've also started the wiki page on the SDA Wiki, and populated it with some basic How's+Why's for any%.

Is installing the censor to skip the cutscenes/QTEs now a thing? I don't particularly want to - mainly from a political perspective (screw censorship!). I understand it's similar to using a different region's game for RTA reasons, but still...

Well, just finished my first speedrun attempt with the Thief class and got 1:57:19. Thief isn't actually that bad.

@popridge i'm not gonna install it, I'm both too lazy, and honestly it seems a little sketch. It's probably most likely gonna be separate categories

Nice! What's the main spammed attack with thief? It's the only class I've not completed the game with

@PX_ Wow that isnt bad at all! Might be possible to sub 1:30 by the sounds of it if you got 1:57 on your first run.

I've found yet another animation skip.

Whenever you use "Nomesize" or whatever that powder is called. You can cancel the animation by hitting "I"(inventory) BEFORE you do the snort. If you do it correctly, your character's hitbox will be the size of the nome, but your character itself will be normal sized.

This is great for the witch gloves since it saves you 3-4 seconds of watching your character go nomesize and un-nomesizing. Will save 8-10 seconds overall.

My internet isn't the greatest at the moment but Ill try to get a video up demonstrating this eventually. Or someone can beat me to it Smiley

and do a better job.

I guess I should post the lockpick skip here too since no one has yet.

You can skip Craig's lockpick animation in Jimmy's basement by whacking him on the head by the top of the stairs in Jimmy's basement.

Side effect: your character will be HUUUUGE in senescence that you are normally nomesize. Abortion clinic floorboards, abortion clinic vents, basement of craig's appt. You don't loose any movement speed so there's no real downside to this. http://imgur.com/dKebCco

Has anyone come up with a location list for patches/strap-on's?(preferably with what they do as well as location)

This would make it easier for other classes to figure out their best route which may or may not be close to the same as the mage route.

So I may of found an awesome skip. Its in Jimmys basement and I managed to skip the butter healing animation on craig. I was recording and heres the video, also this video has PHEN's gnome dust animation skip examples.

@Gnarvin, it looks you you fart canceled his "get up and be injured" animation by cup-throw farting on where Craig would normally stand up. This causes him to go into his next animation which is "walk up the stairs" or something along the lines.

Edit: nope.

I'll play around with it a bit more, but I get a feeling this is what's happening.

You can do similar animation cancel (not as useful) when stan releases the lever to the cow, you can cancel his "pull the chains animation". This causes him to do the "pull the chains" animation when the game reloads the scene after beating craig, and causes stan to go get locked in the "beat the barrier". Which doesn't let him drop the ladder soft locking your game until you reset the room :*(.

Looking closely, it looks like your character is farting instead of doing the pointing thing, but for some reason the game registered it as a "buddy command". Something to do with fat fingering "G and F" at the same time on the KB?

I have also found some other animation fun times:

It looks like with butters, if you right click at a particular time (somewhere between his second and third hammer wag if that makes sense) it lets you you can get a heavy attack in very early long before the shine animation happens.

This also applies you your melee attacks, you can get a full heavy attack in before the shine occurs. The timing is much faster than with butters though.

Can you post a video of the trick in Jimmy's Basement without commentary? It would probably be a little easier for someone to figure out the mechanics behind the trick/what cancelled with game audio.

For heavy attacks, I just start mashing X once I choose my target. Also, I found a tiny little time saver if it wasn't found earlier. When you're in the UFO, while doing the second set of inputs, you can fail the first one, since you only need to complete the last one since the middle 2 are impossible. Also, I softlocked in the Abortion Center while doing the gnome dust glitch. Also, new Thief WR 1:48:17. Pretty bad, but I found new strats for Chef that work, so this can drop to sub 1:46 easily.

As for that basement skip, I think it's because you opened the window before Craig said his line.

EDIT: http://www.twitch.tv/pxtfd/c/3913803 Here's the run, softlock is at 1:10:50

@C It plays 2 more times after I start talking.

@PHEN I thought it was something along the lines of the cup fart and butter command too, but if you watch the video you'll see he starts his Im hurt line as he is coming through the window, way before the cup fart at the end of the room.

@PX You might be on to something with the window before his line thing, it might make him skip his dialogue and just say the next line he has programmed.

A whole 4 days have passed and my Mage Any% Route is now horribly outdated... so I went ahead and updated it. Here you go.

Note: New animation skips aren't included, you can just put them in where appropriate.

@Ogam: I get that pun now. hahaha.

Highlight from a run from tonight, I somehow killed the zombie nazi dad in craig's place... which is apparently the trigger for making the stick in the background hittable.

http://www.twitch.tv/tehphen/c/3925090

If there's a way to break the stick that would be good 10-20 seconds time saved for entering exiting a fight.

Edit: Sorry about the volume, might want to turn your sound down.
