Wow...weird. That's how i normally do it. I must just suck at strafing. x.x

PR: 1:12:xx - Villa A. Rank 11.

I had a run of good strafing. I'm getting better at it, it's just really hard for me for some reason.

I think the easiest way to find full speed when you're unsure of where it is, is to hold analog stick forward, not entirely but more forward than you usually would, then as you are about to accelerate move it sideways until you feel that you've reached the spot. I also noticed that on levels like Villa the beginning is harder to find the spot than later, when you reach the door going inside, you just automaticly lock onto the spot extremely easy. Not sure why that is. Anyways, holding the stick slightly forward at least guarantees a good speed,  maybe not optimal but enough to not loose major amounts of time, and it's easy to correct it from there.

Edit: Curious, i read that crowns like chicago you only need to beat all 3 objectives in 35 seconds or something, why haven't i gotten this yet? Does it secretly require you to play co-op? Got the same problem with AFO and CI.

MBR A 1:31

Appareantly forgot to post this one, first try, only time ever i've gotten a fully cooperating cassandra. 

Edit: Infiltration A 1:12.6x - Seemed like a perfect run to me, i guess my controller isn't quite capable of full speed or something.
Edit2: Air Base 1:15, Crash Site 1:34, Skedar 1:32, Escape 2:33 - 26:46 overall agent time(5th)

Infiltration A 1:11.xx
CI SA 1:24(3rd) 

Taka, what strat did you use for 1:17?

Edit: War PA 1:11 - First completion ever, finally got this damn crown too.

Edit2: I noticed that in some videos explosions seems to last far less than when i play. For example, on chicago it's almost impossible to avoid getting hurt by the remote mine explosion, but in Lucids 15.65 vid the explosion is gone before he even gets there! Is this some kind of system diffrence?

Taka, i still can't quite figure out how you got 1:17. Using combat boosts early messes up the elevators positions so you must be doing something really wierd there?? Could you like explain in detail the strat? I'd much appreciate it. I'm also wondering if you're doing something diffrent on agent?

War PA 1:05..was going for wr but i kept getting those stupid 1:05-1:07 runs, doors suck.
War SA 0:55..descent i guess.
Challange 30 - (10 - 9) Ha, first time i ever beat this one xD 

Curious, i beat the game a while ago on PA without auto aim which appareantly is how you get the last crown, now i read that sometimes it takes a while still to get it, maybe you need like a few more headshots or something, but after several days of trying i still haven't gotten the crown? There has to be something more very specific i need to do?(I have beaten everything and gotten all other achievments/crowns) Anyone having any ideas?

Thanks for that vid! Nice runs too.

I see now that we're doing things very diffrently. Carringtons speeches screwed up all the time for me so i thought an early obj 2 complete was necessary on xbox version. Therefor i've been manually saving both sets of hostages upstairs both on agent and sa. But appareantly this is useless? It's possible to complete anyway? What are the chances of that?

Mmm PRs!

Investigation A 1:35:75 - Rank 10
Extraction A 0:53:xx - Rank 20
Infiltration A 1:20:xx - Rank ??

I can't get the hang of Extraction. I don't know why, i just really don't like running that level. I'm just bad at it for some reason.
On Invest i got a low 54 bot, then blew the terminal hack =( I was pretty mad. The next run I got a low 55 bot and got 1:35:75

Air Base 1:14.43 - Sheild guy got in the way of elevator so i had to turn around and kill him

Has anyone figured out a way to consistently get the dragon to blow up? Cause you cant really run on it yourself without having to stop for a while and the guards rarely walk over it.

I really don't like that level too much. My score on it is probably terrible xD
I've been running Investigation a lot recently. Once you can strafe it perfectly, it really is just hoping you get a fast bot, isn't it? Kinda annoying.
What's the ideal fastest bot, judging by the time he starts opening the first lasers? The lowest I've had is like 55:00 on the dot.

Dunno about investigation.

Rescue SA 2:20.00 - First try, great run all the way through. Surely a few seconds can be cut but 5 seems like alot...

Also got Defection 5.45 again.

Yeah I know the feeling. I di a couple run-throughs of Infiltration, and I think i got 10 seconds below the WR, even though my runs felt pretty good =\

Damnit, I really wish i could lower my Defection time. I at least want to tie you on that level again. I can't do that level well anymore xD It took me an entire night to get 5:53 and then it was the WR xD

How consistent are you getting good runs? I tend to get 5.45-5.65 on like, 90% of my runs and getting below 5.50 is usually just a matter of getting alot of completions. (5.45 prolly requires alot of sub 5.50 runs though, i'd be suprised if you got it first time).

Escape A 2:24.2x 

1:49 talk, didn't Clem have like 1:50 on his 2:23 on n64? I'm fairly certain i didn't loose 2 seconds going to console... 

Edit: looking at that 2:23 vid again i noticed he double pressed B on first console like immideadly after getting there(and yes i try to stay in same spot and leave at same time during "but we cant leave you behind"), i always fail if i try that? Is there a special trick to it or does it simply not work on XBLA?

Yeah, I had a flat 150 talk, which can actually get 2:22 anyway. I dunno how it works on xbox though, but maybe try mashing B instead of just hitting it twice. Worked for me.

AF1 A 57.73

Figured out the answer to my own question i guess. So is 56 just luck? Seems insane if so. President is very consistent at 57.7-57.8 speed. 

Attack ship 2:43 

Lol still can't figure out how to get elvis to complete obj 2.

Defection SA - 38.01

Second time I complete the level by doing the glitch twice, first time was a 40.50 or so. I also failed a run that would've been low 37.

I am using the default control scheme and I'm finding it hard to strafe in full speed, at least consistently. Is there one better suited for speedrunning?

Edit: Defection A - 6.71

Only took two minutes.

MBR A 1:26:xx

This run was probably not sub 1:30 speed but i found a timesaver which saved several seconds. Not sure if it's new but here it is anyway:

On N64, after disarming Cass, you normally speech skip Mr. Blondes line. However since you can't really speech skip in PDX you have several seconds where you are just waiting for Cass to start running. The idea is to use this time to push Cass as far as possible. This however requires that you can get behind her which is usually not possible since she is too close to the wall. But sometimes she moves out a bit making it possible to push her.

Using pause-pushing i managed to get Cass to the elevators outside her office before she started running :)

Crash site A 1:18.30

Attack Ship A 2:17.xx - 22ish ending i think

Alright, found a descent strat, can probably get 2:11 with some luck, but taka might have a better one:

1. Cut cinema immediately and start like normal (after killing the skedar with combat knife, double press elevator through wall to keep it open) (low 15 elvis talk is good)
2. Once the hangar doors start opening, kill the first 2 skedars that spawn like regular N64 strat, but don't turn around too quickly after 2nd or the 3rd one won't spawn (he might not spawn anyway but this certainly increases chances). After 3rd, again wait a bit before turning or 4th won't spawn.  If you got all 4 nicely than the elevator should close around 38-39.
3. Kill the first 3 skedars upstairs, then go back and look toward elvis as he comes up with his elevator (sometimes he warps and is already up and running at this point, but kind of rare)
4. Kill 4th skedar and approach the door afterwards but don't open it, instead go back a bit and look towards elvis.
5. Once elvis enters the room your in, proceed towards the obj 2 room.
6. Kill the skedar on the left and move forward until you are on the side of the round thing where elvis does his objective, then go back and kill the other skedar.
7. Proceed upwards like normal N64 strat, Obj 2 should complete in one of the long corridors (sometimes it's very consistent sometimes not, so i can't give a percentage :P)
8. You can get to the previously-locked door at around 1:16-1:17 if you had a fast elvis, otherwise 1:20-1:22 is somewhat normal.
9. You need to be pretty fast (sub 1:20 door probably) to make both elevators. First one probably needs around 1:21 speed, second will probably close on you if so though. I guess watching cinema would help greatly but personally i find cinema annoying and i want to avoid it at all cost :P

Attack Ship A 2:12.88 - 1:53 elvis(awesome sub 20 ending), i got to the last elevator too late so i had to call i back, then close it again etc etc..
Attack Ship A 2:12.95 - 1:49 elvis(super duper gay ending)

So yeah, 2:08'ish is definately possible.

Maian SA 1:49.85
Maian PA 2:00.15 - First real completion. Seemed like a good run. Waited all cinema because it seems to make the 1st elevator alot more consistent, also you don't have to wait for 2nd to open on good runs.

First completion ever. Crappy 1:07 elvis, rest wasn't optimal either.

I thought it'd be cake to beat this but elvis sure is gay to deal with. Getting a 1:01-1.02'ish elvis is not difficult but pretty rare. Then avoiding him in the narrow tunnel? God i hate that part. And if you do manage to past that, he will show up 30 seconds late to the protection part...

Maian SA 1:49.40

I guess this level is more luck than skill. Even if you wait whole cinema you need to wait for the 2nd elevator to open, so there's really nothing you can do to affect your endtime except do it over and over until you get a fast 2nd elevator. 1:48 is pretty tough...

CI PA 1:49.xx
CI PA 1:49.05

Am i too fast or something? Both these runs were faster than trent's wr and carrington's messages screwed up both times. (i've never had a run where they didn't screw up)

Also question for Trent: Why do you go back to the middle elevator after freeing the upstairs hostages? Shouldn't it be faster to use the far elevator? (i did this in the runs mentioned above)

Edit: CI PA 1:40.35

okay i figured it out, you need to wait a bit before going to the uplink so that carrington has time to finish his speech about his office files.
