Lesson In Speedrunning
--
When speedrunning, the first most important rule is to give 100% of what you have, no matter what. Today I learned the precise importance of this rule, when I achieved Depot Agent, 0:15 on Turbo Mode. This rule goes doubly for Turbo Mode, you never know what is going to happen, what kind of insane things are going to occur and if something as such happens... Are you prepared?
Achieving Depot :15 employs the use of a glitch in one of the doors just beside the fenced area. To perform the glitch requires perfect timing with gun switching, angle, and speed. I have performed the glitch in the past, but not at full speed as you will see. It went off flawlessly and without a single slowdown (I've been analyzing what I did and I've determined it can't be done faster).
However, I made three mistakes. The first one was the largest, and occured the soonest. The second one happened soon after. The third mistake occured after I did the glitch, because of nerves. You'll be able to pick out all three if you watch carefully enough. Why did I make these mistakes? Because I was half-assing my way through the level. I never thought in a billion years all the correct conditions would present themselves on that run. This is why my lesson is so important. If I ever duplicate the glitch again, it'll be when I achieve 14.
Thank you, and enjoy the vid!
