Does the best set strat I used on 105 work on this version? Pretty lame to go all the way behind the wall for 2nd throw. :P

Wyst3r · « **Reply #151 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:04:45 am »

Yeah it works,I just suck at hitting pillars from afar (I think PDX is a bit harder than n64 when it comes to aiming, at least when the sensitivity is set high). The reason i went around this time is because i wasn't playing seriously, I had never hit that 3rd pillar like that before so i always tried to go for the easy set. This works fine so far since the wr is still so sucky but i guess we'll be forced to switch eventually.

MBR A 1:19.68

Can't believe i actually managed the wr. I suck so much at this level. I guess my strat saved enough time to make this possible.

Instead of going straight for the punch on Cass, wait in front of her desk for a little while until she starts shooting, then run behind her and start pushing her out of her office. Doesn't always work, but maybe 50% chance? It usually takes like 4 seconds for Cass to run out of her office and with waiting 1 extra second in front of her desk this probably saves around 3 seconds?

Wyst3r · « **Reply #160 on:** April 14, 2012, 03:39:01 pm »

Thx.

Btw, i'm curious as to what strat you used for 1:31 on Maian SOS Agent? Personally i've used 2 diffrent strats. First one is the "normal" strat where you simply run to the first elevator and try to time the closing perfectly. Second one can be faster but seems very inconsistent and is done by shooting with the dragon right after exiting the second room (Kinda like on PA) so a guard uses the first lift and it closes on you as you get there. It's seems alot less consistent than N64 though and at least 50% of the time the guard doesn't even react.

I figured i'd also write the CI agent strat here in case someone finds it useful or i forget it in the future:
Both combat boosts immediately.
Open firing range door + holo room door and enter the far elevator just like normal N64 strat. Do the N64 strat for the rest of the level. Firing range door should be open as you get back so either double press A if you have a fast run to keep it open or single press if you were slightly slower and doors are about to close. Hope for objective 1 to complete while in 2nd elevator.

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #161 on:** April 15, 2012, 12:55:27 pm »

i honestly can't remember the strat for maian a. i think i recall entering the gate just before it shut on me, so it's probably the second strat you listed there.

also, here's the vid for the air force one pa strat; you should be able to get the WR pretty quickly with this.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #162 on:** April 20, 2012, 12:47:29 pm »

What is the best strat for Attack Ship A? It's the only level where i don't have a descent time yet so i'm trying to figure out how it works.

I may be wrong but N64 strat doesn't seem to work. Elvis never completes objective 2 unless you wait around for him for a while. So i'm curious about the best way to do that section? If i wait around for him then obj 2 completes long before i have a chance to reach the previously locked door so obviously alot of time wasted.

Attack Ship A 2:10.55 - 1:49 elvis

FINALLY!

Used same strat as in Pr's topic except i killed the first 4 skedars upstairs ASAP, then turned around and waited for elvis. However, by the time you turn around, elvis must've warped and already be there for any chance of 2:10-2:11 making it a really gay wr to go for. And then of course you need obj 2 to complete and ending to be good etc etc.

Air Base SA 1:40.78

Didn't take long at all. Used the N64 wr strat and pretty much nailed the whole run.

Edit: Just watched the N64 wr vids and i realized those runs throw the dragon after calling the lift whilst i throw it before. To me it seems better to throw before since you don't have to wait for the glass to blow up saving at least half a sec?

AF1 SA 1:16.56

I got 1:17.11 on my first completion ever

Also, i couldn't remember Trent's strat so i improvised a bit and came up with this strat that should be optimal:

1. A + Left turn + Pause immediately, Choose combat boost
2. Keep Left turn + Repause for earlier combat boost usage
3. Left strafe + Left turn + Hold trigger to use both combat boosts
4. Go for elevator button ASAP, Switch to right strafe at the first door, and punch the guy before you press the button.
5. Go around the stoves and punch the girl on the way back
6. You should only have to punch the keycard dude once since you punched both the guy and the girl
7. When you get back to elevator, it'll be tight but you can just make it before it closes.

Combat boosts will wear off when you start talking to pres.

TT for president talking: mid 19
TT for mid-level cinema: mid 42

Edit:
AF1 SA 1:16.11...

AF1 SA 1:13.86

Crazy president! 42.51 cinema, president went through the door after the Blondes at around 1:04.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #172 on:** May 24, 2012, 05:12:49 am »

AF1 A 53.73

The president was fully through the door to the "Trent + 2 Blondes room" when the timer was still on 45 which i guess is good. Then timer was on low-mid 50 i think when he went through the door to escape pod room. It's very good to stop pause-pushing after the Blondes room and just full-strafe into the wall on the right.

Btw, what's the AF1 PA strat for after you've reached president? When is it optimal to use the second combat boost? (i used it just before Blondes, but i dunno if that's good?)

Also i found an alternative PA strat which is probably alot easier to survive and seems to be able to get almost-wr speed. The idea is to glitch into the basement just after talking to president, and then
doing the whole level "backwards". That way you don't have to go through the same sections twice but instead you can run directly for the autopilot switch. Also guards will be way easier to deal with.

So here's how it's done:
1. Use the SA strat i mentioned above with 2 combat boosts.
2. Instead of going the normal route for president, do it like my TAS and jump onto the railing of the stairs and glitch into his office. Make sure Joanna ends up in a "halfway stuck through floor"-
state.
3. While talking to president, make sure you always stay close to the walls, otherwise you go back to normal mode. So move over to the president along the left wall, and look at him until he's said his 2nd line. (Joannas first line and presidents second are only started if you are looking towards the pres)
4. After that, keep moving along the wall until you reach the far door (with a guy standing outside it with his back towards you), stay in the left corner here.
5. Just wait for cinema...
6. After pressing A, Joanna will fall into the basement automaticly, and you can start running doing the whole thing backwards.
7. Most guards will be caught off guard, making it easy. After killing first dude near the escape pod with the laptop, throw it as a sentry gun (just like you'd normally do here).
8. Use the KF7 you just picked up for upcoming 3 guards.
9. Use Disarm to punch out the Blondes! (make sure to hit their back)
10. Throw mine...
11. Autopilot, whatever
12. President should complete a little later

So yeah that's it, i wouldn't recommend it for going for wr but it's a really fun strat to fool around with :P

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #175 on:** May 25, 2012, 05:27:16 pm »

good work. for air force one pa, i use the second combat boost just after the cutscene while going down the ramp. no reason why; i just thought that's what everyone did lol. using this strat i'm fairly certain with a fast president 1:18 or 1:19 is possible.

the only issue with using both combat boosts at the start is you're wasting a portion of the boost on the elevator up, IE the timer is slowed and the elevator is slowed. you could be using that time moving at regular speed elsewhere in the level while the timer is slowed. not sure if this is optimal or not in the remainder of the level.

also, is your statement about punching both the guy and the girl leading to a 1-punch kill on the keycard guy true? i can't seem to get that to work. i know if he bends over it takes like 10-12 punches to kill him, but normally it takes 4-5 so i haven't really had a problem with it.

i've been halfheartedly playing maian PA just for kicks

Wyst3r · « **Reply #176 on:** May 26, 2012, 07:42:03 am »

The statement is only true if you punch em both somewhat fast while in combat boost.

And If the keycard guy is standing up when taking out gun , i can do him in 2-3 punches fairly consistenly.

Btw, problem with using combat boost at the ramp is that you have to wait for the first 2 NSA guards to appear. Also you won't have enough combat boost to deal with all guards i think.

Yeah it's probably only useful for SA.

Defection SA 27.86

Came from outta nowhere on a really long and crappy session. I was about to quit when i started playing some Def SA in a "not-really-serious" manner. 5-10 mins later i get a start without mistakes, hit the ecm mine, then get past the 2 guards smoothly, 2nd glitch as usual... Then when falling and pausing i found myself in a perfect position above the comp, so i only had to adjust my aim slightly, and long before hitting the comp i knew i had found a perfect angle for the throw. So i started throwing slighly before landing, then went for the elevator as soon as ECM mine was thrown and ended the level ASAP. Probably my best ending ever.

This time is pretty insane, especially considering that i didn't watch cinema to get the door after necklace open. One of my better wr's for sure.

This level is really difficult to complete since obj 2 rarely completes. In this run i got an early obj 2 for the first time ever, which i didn't even know was possible. Then after getting the RCP there's often a guard or two blocking your path out or killing you. None of that this time though (i guess firing range room was so fast that they didn't even have a chance to get there). Really awesome and super-lucky run.
