Speed Runs

[Sami]

1:51 for Modern. Kind of sloppy, but not bad.

[KrazyBean]

Ha...I'm going to do the more OPEN stages, which are Sky Sanctuary, Seaside Hill...Crisis City will be tough since all the best speedrunners want to play that stage.

Should note about a bug in modern GHZ. Shortly after the wallkick section, if you go through the boost ring when bouncing through the enemies, you'll be unable to air boost for the rest of the level. Ideally when you reach the fragile bridge, you want to hit the springs, air boost and drop through it, so try not to hit the boost ring, and use homing attack instead if you do.

Are you sure? It works just fine for me...

Not sure exactly what the circumstances are. I think it's if you're boosting throughout all of that section.

That probably explains it. I hit the boost about 3 times in between the jump walls and the boost ring. The initial boost is great for picking up speed after a hop or a short slide.

Yeah, I saw that...he gave Sonic crack, that's why that speedrun was so damn fast. That's the ONLY EXPLANATION!

Thing is, snaking before the last trick ramp makes no differance in speed, but keeps your boost up...

DAT DRIFT is broke. It makes Unleashed's drift look like shit.

And we thought that we couldn't snake in this game...how wrong we were.

You guys are not going to believe this. Someone got 1:43.92! It turns out drift snaking is usable but it requires you to use it differently.

Also, when he's boosting away from the fish at :52, he switches stances to where his front is facing the screen rather than away. First of all, how do you even do that? Second, is that somehow relevant to his speed?

He crouches. But he crouched before he got to the fish so he wouldn't get locked. I don't know if that actually speeds you up or not. Can't really tell.

[frokenok3]

Getting better!

1:44:35

I keep fucking up at the end with the crabmeat and the two buzzbombers.

Keep it up and I'm sure you'll beat me! I really want to beat 1:42 before the game comes out though...
