I wasn't really planning on revealing this strat until i had 00A down to a descent level but since some poeple saw my 1:31 post as spam i thought it was best to reveal it a bit earlier.
Anyways, The main idea with the strat is to get outside the Train so Natalya does not see you and therefor, You can just wait at the end until she has completed her work. In order to do this, You need to get out of the Train a few seconds after Trev's first message. This needs some really fast locks which can be really annoying. So when you've successfully escaped Natalya's scary sight, You can just kill guards outside or whatever. Then wait at the end until SA: 43 secs left/00A 8,5 secs left, Then finish. Hopefully Natalya should finish during fade.
So yeah, That's it. Saves about 12 seconds for SA and prolly around 14 on 00A(Got 1:54 on LLTK). So that's nearly 30 secs of Total Elite Time saved and a big step closer to the 1:15 mark.
And for everyone who enjoyed the reading, But still wanna see it, Here's the 1:31 vid:
Train SA 1:31 (http://www.thengamer.com/GE/14-Train/Henrik%20Norgren%20-%20Train%20-%20SA%20-%201.31(music).wmv)
Enjoy!
-
insane, really insane find.. like most amazing since Aztec glas strat
-
An awesome find Henrik!
Now: Henrik = Train Strat Master
-
Henrik is lame for not thinking much of the strat. He should be enjoying it because yeah it is up there with the Aztec strat. I would go as far to say as it ranks right there with it because of how many more years it took to find it. This means:
Sub 26:00 SA will happen
Sub 30:00 will likely happen on 00A
Sub 1:16:00 total elite will be much more in reach
And yeah, congrats for putting yourself among the greatest GE innovators of all time with this. You should be happy and not like (meh I didn't get a good Train 00A time yet). I went crazy when I found the Aztec strat that's for sure. I had garbage times with it early on (didn't even complete SA on it yet when I posted about it). Anyways, a very big congrats for figuring out how lessen the wait on Train.
-
well the strat was actually already in agent, just Henrik finally put it to good use in sa/00. good thinking there!
-
My little Xenia trick was completely pointless
But I don't understand...how is this the same as the agent strat? You KILL ouromov here, so why doesn't Nat follow you out?
But still, congrats...every time I think every single possible trick and glitch has been figured out, someone finds something like this...amazing
-
He just got out so fast, just get out fast enough and she doesn't follow you, if you suck at locks then you'll have trouble with this strat.
-
Yeah, it was really funny discussing it though
-
Yeah true
But u made a typo it's :29 on the timer for SA and :05 for 00A
-
don't forget that when we first used the strat on agent we also killed Ouromov still; that's when the timer comes up before you finish the level, unlike when you don't kill him.
the only difference now would be that you need to wait before "entering the ending".
-
fuckin awesome, henrik. i didn't think anyone would be taking this much time off ever again, so nice find. i might even have to try this.
-
I meant that when you don't kill Ouromov on agent and leave the train, it is obvious why Nat doesn't follow you. I just didn't understand how you could set her free but not have her follow you. I guess she has a certain amound of time of state of shock from having a gun to her head
Hell yeah Greg, count me in on a small comeback too...although I don't expect I'll own this new strat like I did on Statue
(The
is for Wouter)
-
Quote:
I guess she has a certain amound of time of state of shock from having a gun to her head
Very accurate explanation
And no, I didn't make a typo. You exit at 43(Natalya completes at 39) And 8.5(Natalya completes at 4.5).
-
Dude on ur own video which I've watched 4 times now it was :29 when the screen starting fading away which is when she is finishing. lol. 29 and 4.5...I've known this in my memory for like 5 years lol, unless I'm somehow just a complete idiot and missing something
-
damn i'm terrible at this game. i have only made it to the last room once so far, and then i got killed by a guard while i was lasering the floor. then i did some laser practice and the fastest i finished it at was 56.
oh yeah, and about halfway through my efforts i realized somebody turned look ahead on, so that was @#%$ with me too.
-
INSANE.
-
Great job, Henrik! This is an exciting development, even to a retired PD player.
-
Awesome find
If I were gay, I'd probably kiss you
go elite!
-
It's pretty awesome that new tricks and strategies are being found this far after the game's release. Well done.
-
Great find. I guess I have to play again...
-
Yeah, it's funny it took this long to be found. The fact is that Nat is in a shock state for a good amount of time after you take out Ouro. That leads me to the big question: when did you decide to leave early and what was your initial reaction when the obj didn't fail and "I'm coming James!" didn't come up either? And also, what are the worst lock speeds you can have to pull this off using agent equivalents?
Henrik, relish the moment because this is the type of thing that puts your name in glory. It also is the type of thing that gets retired players playing GE again, thus more competition. I hope people like Buikema, Clark, Lavery etc come back to at least try this out. This is also why GE will always be > PD. New finds on GE bring players back. New finds on PD just don't seem to do the same. It should be funny to see who gets on the Train leaderboard until most of the top players get it going.
My head is still spinning and nice job again Henrik.
-
That is awsome!
That really would take a lot of laser skills.
-
To make it easier you can shoot Ouru with a gun and stand in the spot ready to switch to the laser and start doing the locks immediately after that.
-
I'm stuck at school right now for the next 5 hours... eff that you guys will beat me to the leaderboard....oh yeah wait I just realized it won't matter cuz I will prolly suck like Greg having been retired for so long
-
roughly requires 49.0 locks, aka you gotta be as fast as agent not saving her.
-
Eddie you still can't read?
"I just didn't understand how you could set her free but not have her follow you."
"when we first used the strat on agent we also killed Ouromov still"
it's known since whenever we did that first. killing Ouromov is the same thing as setting her free.. if she would always follow you after being set free, then the agent strat wouldn't have worked back then with killing Ouromov.
As for statue, there's no "
", you promised videos for your sudden statue claims out of nowhere, which as far as I know, nobody has seen yet. You're pretty lucky your times are still up (if they are, didn't check), if you were just a bit less familiar person surely they'd be out by now (if they aren't yet
).
-
Wow, awesome find Henrik!
-
I can read just fine...I learn a lot of educational things like that going to college instead of sitting on my ass playing GE my whole life. The problem is YOU dont understand what I DONT understand. If that makes sense, lol. I KNOW that killing Ouromov sets her free. Just never mind that whole thing, cuz I understand just fine now.
As for my Statue times, i NEVER promised videos of them, not sure where you got that from. It's not exactly at the top of my priority list. Like I said, COLLEGE. I come back to these boards every 6 months or so just to see what's happening, and then I did and saw the new strat and tried it out for fun. I said it then and I'll say it again, getting 2:21s was EASY, and the only reason I can fathom that more ppl haven't gotten that time by now is becuz of the gayness of the luck of the FR. The times ARE still up, and if you want to take them down, that's just fine. Although considering I sent a tape a long time ago with about 45 PRs on there to Lavery, I think it's extremely stupid to think I might be a liar.
-
Nice find, but this will not help me. My locks suck
-
You can stand outside the last room and start
-
it's in everyone's right to suspect someone unwilling to provide prove as a liar, but it is more wrong for anyone to think that we ask for proof because we think someone is a liar. That would mean we think everyone around here is a liar because everyone needs proof (pretty much). It's foolish people like such that think proof is unnecessairy and they always feel attacked and call themselves a liar (putting us words in the mouth, same idea) when we never even had the word in our mind to begin with. but if it makes you happy, I'll start thinking you're a liar, sure.
-
Great job Henrik.
I wouldn't consider this as revolutionary a find as the Aztec strat only because this strat applies to good players only (people who can do 49+ locks in the first place). However, awesome find and good job on 1:31.
-
Fine, let me rephrase. It is stupid to SUSPECT my times based on my reputation having proved basically everything before. Considering I WILLINGLY sent in my first tape when it was NEEDED, it is stupid. I am only unwilling NOW because I don't have the time OR motivation to play that level again just to make Mr. Wouter Jansen happy. You are the only one who seemed to care, because you lost like 6 points because of it.
If you want, I would love to send you screenshots of all 3 of the times. It is something, and it would take an amount of time that I don't care that is wasted. But LIKE I SAID, if it is the overall consensus that the times could be fake, then take them down.
And I NEVER said proof is unnecessary. If some unknown 88th ranked player never proved b4 had claimed those times, then absolutely necessary. But I don't see why it would be necessary for a player of my PROVEN skill level to provide proof, especially for times not even WRs.
-
The policy is that all WRs, tied or untied, must have proof. 2:21 on Statue isn't a WR, thus you don't need to provide proof. It would be greatly appreciated, however, but your times will likely not be removed unless this escalates to a higher level.
-
All I can say is Good Job Henrik! Nice to see that strat being pulled.
Eddie, it's always the same argument. You're willing to take those screenshot. Go ahead, it'll kill all assumptions. I personnaly couldn't care less about the times. I trust ya
-
I agree, 2:21 is just a standard statue time if you get lucky with the FRs. Not hard at all to fail, especially for a GE vet I'd assume. Get lucky, and 2:21 galore! If I got really lucky, I'd have 18 221s right now as opposed to 1, and I've played that level, 10 hours or so? Plus the proof policy says only WRs NEED to be proven.
Anyhow, looks like I have to play train now, eventhough I don't want to. The locks shouldn't be a problem for anyone really if you kill more guards. Still would save time so long as you don't kill 15 seconds worth of guards.
Don't expect LB even now if no one plays, solely because agent is one of my worst levels easy. Oh well, we'll see what happens.
-
TheBigBossman007 (5:20:49 PM): you don't need to do 49 locks I don't think
TheBigBossman007 (5:20:57 PM): gonna post this, of course it would cost you time
TheBigBossman007 (5:21:10 PM): but take some locks out, then kill Ouro, then take out the rest
TheBigBossman007 (5:21:16 PM): then you can do it easily
TheBigBossman007 (5:21:32 PM): anyone should be able to do it then
TheBigBossman007 (5:22:02 PM): Trent has the right idea there, but you can even take them out inside
TheBigBossman007 (5:22:16 PM): as if you were playing agent
TheBigBossman007 (5:22:31 PM): the best players need to do it like Henrik though
TheBigBossman007 (5:22:45 PM): if you take out locks before Ouro, then the amount of time you save would be less
TheBigBossman007 (5:22:58 PM): since you'd end up waiting even longer
TheBigBossman007 (5:23:41 PM): saves up to 12/13 sec or whatever Henrik said, if you take out say 5 locks before Ouro, then it maybe only saves 7 sec or something like that
TheBigBossman007 (5:24:10 PM): still a lot though even if you aren't any good at locks
-
THANK YOU guys, for the respect, geez, tell it to Wouter, lol. And thank you Goose for confirming that 2:21 is easy, that it is just not worth the #of runs needed due to luck to try to complete it!
Anyways, I must apologize for side-tracking and again congratulate Henrik! Can't wait to get home and give it a try.
-
You post in capitals when you're the one not understanding my posts. I won't even bother to explain any further because you won't understand how I think either way. The only think I'll add is that if someone's been away so long and suddenly claims new times, those shouldn't be taken for granted anymore, since it's been so long. normally if we ask someone to prove a WR after a long time they defend themselves with "it's been so long and I must be @#%$ and all now" so that's the exact reason why we shouldn't take for granted you can just come back and cake those times when otherwise you'd be using your bad skills as an excuse for not needing proof. Also if it's so easy as everyone claims, surely it shouldn't take more than 1 hour tops to get. not like I care if you do, because you have totally nothing to prove to me. you're inferior to me so why would I even care if your times are legit or not.
As for doing locks then killing Ouromov, I think that makes chances for freeing Natalya much smaller, since you need to have decent speed to get to him and kill him before he shoots her, surely it would be harder to do when trying from stand-still.
-
That's an awesome find Henrik! I thought it was doubly hardcore how you timed your exit from the level such that she completed after you finished. w00t!
Bosshardt is teh capitano obvious.
-
"you're inferior to me so why would I even care if your times are legit or not."
LMAO. Yes, I'm inferior to you in a fu.cking VIDEO GAME. A game that basically takes up your ENTIRE LIFE. Congratulations.
2 years from now, I'll be making $50,000 a year, and you? You'll be working on getting Depot agent :25. Definitely, congratulations. FAR superior to me.
-
ROFL
-
Great to have a new strat after so many years of speed runs. Great find.
-
I must say awesome job henrik, work some magic on control.
-
Train is one of my worst levels, but once enough people have good PRs and I have a sleu of videos to look at to educate my petit little brain, I'm sure I'll try SOMETHING. Also, Eddie, I'd rip apart your claims of 2:21s, but I have a decent WR that's not proven either. So I'll stfu for now...
Great job Henrik!
-
Well done.
-
I wonder if there exists train agent vids from pre-new-strat days where the player exits the train and Nat didn't say "I'm coming James!" Funny if there are vids like this seeing as no one noticed...
-
Quote:
Also if it's so easy as everyone claims, surely it shouldn't take more than 1 hour tops to get
Frigate 24 and depot 44 are examples of easy times that take more than 1 hour to get simply because of random luck. Statue 221 is just another example.
Usually Wouter only gets mad about unprovens that BEAT his time. Why he doesn't care about other unproven times as much. Although I guarantee Wouter would get 221s all around, in 24 hours should he play that level (1.2 NTSC reccomended
) instead of dicking around with streets 112 or depot 25 or whatever else dumb time he's going for.
-
44 requires about no luck, took me under 2 hours, got screwed out of it once by a gay sideboost ive never seen before, also blew it myself abotu 6 times
52 requires about pure luck
- obj b compeltes 10x less then obj a sa
- obj a is random
- train shot is super laggy and less consistant
- drone room is gayer
- etc
-
^
@ "etc". So true. Depot is hella gay and I dunno if I even want to go back in and improve my times. Then again I might surprise everyone. :O
-
when have you not surprised anyone? update our riv you whoar
-
I'm getting to that.
My computer burned itself down and was left internetless for a couple days. No AIM yet. >_>
-
Of course you would Jim, you have 2:23s. Maybe you and Wouter SHOULD actually put in the time and see how easy it is fail 2:21s (yes, w/1.2, the only level I ever used it for), and only a matter of time b4 u complete...before saying something stupid like, "I'd rip apart your claim"...lol
-
Statue is gayer then me
-
hey jimbo, shut the @#%$ up. pwned.
-
Eddie, 2:23 is a result of being screwed, chewed, skewed, whatever the hell you want to call it. All should be 2:22, take note, I still use KF7 Strat
-
should having 222 kf7 strat = should having 221 pp7 strat = 221 is cake = you contradict yourself a lot
and you always get "screwed" out of things.
-
Don't we all.
-
funny stuff...
On a sidenote, Greg Woll is the man! Always has my back, always was my "best GE friend" lol
-
If your having trouble getting locks fast enough couldn't you do some of the locks, then shoot ouro, then finish what you left of the locks?
-
Yep, thats what alex did.
-
Watching old agent vids, runs with 50+ locks don't have Natalya saying "I'm coming, James", where runs as good as low 49 do. Not sure where the exact cutoff is, but in order to pull off the strat on SA/00 you need probably at least mid 49 speed locks.
-
Quite amazing, man. Congrats!!!!!!!
-
lol u guys shud liek break sum lox, kill orovumov then go back and taek out the rest of the lox!!!!
Come on you guys, stop saying that.
-
lol u guys shud liek break sum lox, kill orovumov then go back and taek out the rest of the lox!!!!
-
So unlucky that no one noticed a lack of "i'm coming james" in agent vids all that time ago
Just as well it was finally discovered.
-
Train players where slacking.
-
wtf, i've been using this strat since 1993.
-
So I get his Plan:
He whoarded his 1:31, waits for me to work 15hours on a Perfect 1:40, then he unwhoards it, then he wastes all my work done in 15hours, and then 140 becomes totally useless? So That was his Plan?
Edit: I hate him, whats the point of 140 now?
-
This should make Dark LTK train easier, especialy if you can be in the hole and not have nat come follow you.
-
He didn't whoard his 1:31 really, he posted it when he got it but didn't reveal the strat before because he wanted to surprise people with the new strat, I would have done that too. Too bad you just happened to get 1:40, Henriks new strat is the main focus now it's just the way things are for now Ace.
The new strat is amazing, 1:40 is amazing with the old strat, you feel crap because you lost your WR I feel crap because I can't seem to calm you down.
AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH! damn piece of @#%$ I can't save the world, this world I can't aaaarrrgghhh you're giving me a... forget it now get over it bye I suck whatever
EDIT: Anyway I'll may look into that on DLTK, just havning too much fun on the normal difficulties for now.
-
Great find Henrik, its a pity i got rid of my N64 and goldeneye (by selling it to my brother who doesnt live with me) or else i would try it out. Then again i was never any good at GE or PD so it wouldn't really have helped me. Great find nonetheless!
-
oh yes his plan was to whoard, he whoarded so that I could waste a complete 15hours in a day of playing train, then ruins all my hard work (Also Got 2'10 on 00) whats the point? I hate this. I offically Retire from the elite. whats the point?
-
So you have 2:10 00A too now? Seems like you whoard more than i do
Anyways, Sorry for my bad timing. But it wasn't my attention to unwhoard just as you got an untied. And i think you could easily get back the wr since you are much better than me on the locks(according to vids) + you pwn me on Train.
-
No, because I dont have any ability to do the locks as fast.
And I dont like you. Im not gonna share a single vid from now on. GoodBye The Elite
-
I tried clicking on your vid of Train sa 1:31 but nothing comes up.
do you think you can repost the vid or something so i can see the strat.
-
Yeah I want the vid aswell, but the server is down or something :S
-
Yeah it is(guess it has been used alot lately
). I think alot of poeple have the vid though so just get it over aim or something, If you don't find anyone who has it get it from me on xGeOmegax.
-
You using Firefox Arnie? It only works if you use IE and right-click "save target as". I ran into the same problem a while back.
oh and gj on new strats Henrik
Arnie
-
you're WAY inferior to me in understanding, your IQ must be on the edge of the lowest possible.
if you get $50,000 a year with that, I'd get 100,000 each day by pulling my nose all day.
besides not knowing how I fulfill my life at all, your knowledge of the concept of life is far too small so nobody is concerned about how you think we are wasting our whole lives by hardly playing at all.
-
awesome! that worked great. Seen the vid and blown away
that is some smooth strafin. So basically you have to get out before he stops talking the 2nd time and before the timer. then just wait by the front of the train till she finnishes. cant wait to try that out.
-
you have to be out way before that. before the timer comes up you gotta be outside past the car you left from. which requires somewhere above 49.5 agent speed locks, possibly below :50.
if u back track to that car... she sees you also, when you are outside.
basically u gotta be exiting the train half way thru his message before the timer
so i reccomend taking out 6 locks then shoot ouromov then finish. get like 140+
-
Now that's something i had no idea about. Thanks for the information Alex(The fact about getting past the car, I always thought the reason for Natalya seeing you when leaving before timer was becouse she's a bitch).
So what happens if you go past the car but in the diffrent direction(crate area)?
-
she can see you there too, don't know if you go all the way back though
-
yea, I learned that the hard way. She came out, then I cried and raged. Just leave and go to the end. Don't hurt yourself.
-
Excellent work Henrik
. By the way i take it doing the locks as you do, it`s faster than doing em using manual aim?
-
Is this really worthy a new topic?
Good job on the strat though, Henrik.
I got quite amazed when I checked out t-e.n today.
-
dude the fact that it's on the 5th page now oughta show that this is worthy of a topic.
-
This is huge, so yes it it worthy.
-
Lol, of course this is worthy of a new topic, if it wasn't we'd only have like 6 topics.
-
Huh? What was he supposed to do? Post in new WRs... Train SA 1:31, oh btw Nat doesn't follow you if you do the locks really quick...?? Lol, we should make a topic just for compliments for Henrik!
-
I think typo is joking. If not, SHAME ON YOU, YOU CHODE HEAD.
-
Haha yeah, This got alot bigger than i could've ever imagined. And i can't remember the last time so many diffrent poeple posted in the same topic(excluding wr topic).
And i'm not sure if you saw it Eddie but i did post 1:31 in the wr topic at first, Though it got deleted
-
Man, I am away for a few days and revolutionary developments are evolving like it's the old days when it was a bit more common that new time-saving strats were invented.
Just when you think there isn't any room left for invention for a game which is out for many years, Henrik discovers a new strategy which is easily as revolutionary as the Aztec glass-trick. Awesome work Henrik, this is a huge milestone in the history of the GoldenEye Elite (and Elite in general of course) and no one can take that away from you.
Now, someone, find a new strat for Control....
-Matthijs
-
Yeah I saw the 1:31 post Henrik, it was funny how you were like "this if far from maxed" and mentioned nothing of the new strat
Mat I think the only thing left to be found is the big one...SPEECH SKIPPING
-
Actually i didn't mention anything about being far from maxed.
And yeah, Speach skipping would be really huge. But i already tried like everything so i'm not sure it'll ever work.
-
oh my bad, i thought u said something like, this (or 00A) can go a lot lower
but yeah I think the farthest we will ever get in speech skipping is what we already have in control with shooting nat to make the messages come up a little faster
-
that's what you think
-
Hey, I'd love to proved wrong in something like that... it'd be the biggest discovery in GE history
-
One of the things i don't get about speech skipping is why shooting Nat affects messages on Control but not Train. Natalya's way to act is very similar on both levels except for the messages thing.
-
Amazing job Henrik.
Making such a great strat innovation after so many years is always something special... and a huge shock !
Congrats.
-
She is a whore on every level, that's about the only thing she does consistenly
-
its becuase train's messages are run by the timer, whereas control's are not. You could save time on ALL natalya's speeches by shooting her the animation before the one where she says whatever. It'd be hard to pull off and focus on how many animations she's done (that's the only thing to go by) and her health would become an issue, forcing you to shoot her in the gun. I think someone should look into that.
-
Train messages are not run by THE timer but A timer.
Has anyone ever tried shooting Natalya's back or something just after killing Ouromov when she's all confused and stuff? Maybe she'll become normal faster?
-
you're the one who's been playing it lately..
-
Well, actually Alex has been. Ryan has tried the strat, and Illu just set the new WR.
You are the only one who hasn't tried it.
P.S. Even I gave it a try!
-
Well, only Henrik, Illu, Alex, Trent, SA, and I have PRed with this strat. Although I bet that pretty much everyone who has been playing lately has tried it, including you, Laercio, and Eddie. Probably like, everyone has tried it.
I forgot you, you chode.
-
I PRd with it as well you bitch
-
I haven't PRed with it, I suck
The biggest problem I just can't strafe through the level smoothly anymore w/out complete major rapage, I just don't have the skills of 3 yrs ago anymore...
-
I tried it Henrik, she still just stood there in the same place like an idiot
-
I PR'd with the new strat, but it was like
SA - 1:55 so meh...
I always have to cut some of the locks before shooting Ourumov.
Edit - Gragz, that's what I did. Though you may loose a significant amount of time doing this.
-
Question.
I suck at the locks really really bad
What If I were to do the locks then shoot Ouromov?
Edit - Lol, After posting this I seen your post, I should learn to look at other peoples posts before I post questions.
-
don't worry, that idea has only been brought up 6 times now.
-
Hey, great job, Henrik!
This is truly an amazing find. It made me happy to see it.
-
Wow, Just counted the number of diffrent poeple posting in this topic: 41!
Nice seeing a post from Youse as well
-
i suck at this strat, find a new one.
-
I blame the ntsc laser
-
I was wondering, what end timer is needed for me to be successful on Agent without shooting Ouro? I on average get like 47-48 ending when i shoot Ouro, my recent best being just under 50. Hope this makes sense.
-
work on getting to ourmov fast till u worry about that strat. i dont even do that strat yet, as i can get like 109 with just lasering him, just work on getting fast to ouromov cause that end doesnt save to much time (maybe 1.x seconds) once ur fast in the train put all the elements together for a sweet time. ill probly skip saving him if i ever play train a again, which i may not unless i play on PAL
for the question. its like 50ish or something
-
I'm sure sub 50, maybe low 49 actually needed to make the end skipping Ouru, it's not as insanely hard as it seems. Though the added pressure makes it and a bit more lag but actually the pressure if you kill Ouru should be as big if you're going for 1:11 or so. Mostly if people go for not killing Ouru ending they do like 50 locks but that's not really needed but you will have a hard time making it if your max is 49.
-
I've done it faster than Henrik's 131 once, but she still came out of the train.
EDIT - It had a great start too.
-
Then you didn't do it right, you can't stay outside of the train you have to get the hell away from there, run to near the end of the train immidiately.

I tried timing with a stopwatch how long it takes to empty the laser, NTSC vs PAL and the result was a bit surprising.
I just fired the laser towards the backdoor in the beginning, not hitting anything.
NTSC - 33 sec
PAL - 35 sec
So dunno, my impression of playing these on both systems has been that I feel more consistent on fast times on PAL, overall on the whole level, not just the locks. Maybe I should try more stuff like firing into a wall or something.
EDIT: Though I might just try for like sub 1:10 on NTSC.
Though wtf did I use a stop watch for? So I tried just emptying the laser right away and quit and I got these results.
NTSC - 34 sec
PAL - 34 sec
hmm... oh well
Turning around and emptying laser into the wall:
NTSC - 53 sec
PAL - 1 min
Dunno about these tests really, could be that it's just psychological, we just think NTSC sucks and that's why I don't feel motivated to get anything good on it or just... but seriously though, dunno

I tried the same thing and got similar results, it's simply random. I think it's all about lag.
-
Now that I've tried some on NTSC I can say I actually find the locks at least as easy on NTSC. Though I only have gotten 1:12 twice so far, I feel I have more trouble getting to the end really fast. So locks no probs, I even had a run where I missed one lock on the bottom and left row and had to take those out separately after the rest and still made the end not killing Ouru. I'll see if I can get one run where I get good speed to the end+fast locks and get the WR or something.
-
Interesting tests Illu, but strange results. I didn't expect that.
Don't know why, sometimes, a same level can to have more lag or less...

Train A 1:10
Decent NTSC PR, seriously though I feel I have easier to make the locks on NTSC but harder to get fast to the end. Really weird since Bryan was just owning this level with the old strat, seemed like he wanted at least 1:41 on SA, he had 1:40 fails. I must say I'm one of those who's been talking lots about that NTSC isn't as good on train as PAL so probably partly my fault all NTSCers have complained even more. I feel I make the ending so often that I should be able to get the WR if I'm not too slow to get to the end on NTSC or maybe NTSC is just slower overall but I wouldn't believe it's on the locks anymore.

Did anyone test to see if the PAL laser shoots farther? Maybe that's why it seems easier to get through the train.
