thanks. there are no overall time rankings. Only rankings for Agent/Special Agent/Perfect Agent total time.

Rescue A 1:22.70

Wow didn't expect this. Took only a couple of tries after getting 2:14 on SA.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #202 on:** July 22, 2012, 03:14:15 pm »

I tried a bit today to improve my 1:22.70 on Rescue but even though it was a really good session i only got a single run where i hit the dragon and got the disguise with a 24'ish second elevator shut. That run ended up 1:22.76 though and had the slow door on way back from obj 2 closed, meaning it was roughly a second faster than my wr run. So i figured it might be worth an upload anyway, especially since Rescue A didn'thave any sub 1:23 vid before:

Wyst3r - Perfect Dark XBLA - Rescue A 1.22.76

1:20 is clearly possible but since you only get the disguise on a fast run like every 3 hours or so it's really really hard to get even 1:21.

Also i was wondering if it was a well known fact that you can get guards to open the door to final corridor and have obj 3 completed before other objectives? I only found out about it today and don't think i've heard it explicitly mentioned anywhere? It's probably useless though since you need to be at the spot where obj 3 completes in order to end the level. However, it's pretty funny to sneak in and steal elvis from the guys performing the autopsy. (they don't notice Joanna or the fact that elvis is gone and just continues with the autopsy in midair

). Also pushing elvis close to an edge can have interresting effects:

Also doing this removes the timer that is supposed to start when you get the lab disguise...

Anyway, if this is old then i guess you can just ignore the above sentences

here's my 1:22.75...i re-uploaded it in case you want to have a look. also i didn't know that henrik, so thanks for sharing. lol at elvis...might have some fun with that later tonight

Cool thanks ^^ I do remember that vid now when hearing the music

btw, i noticed that using full lookdown after first elevator seems to make the 2nd elevator slower and can save like a second or so. I couldn't quite remember if that was something that you had posted a long time ago or if it was something new?

Illu · « **Reply #205 on:** July 24, 2012, 02:20:53 pm »

When I was in norway recently I tried PDX for the first time but the controls were a nightmare :P Well I've heard before that it's harder to keep full speed in the strafe with the analogue stick, do you have to hold the stick like perfectly in posision or how does this work?

It would have helped if I could have chosen to do the strafing with the right stick and looking around with the left stick though, but the way it was now was a complete mind fuck.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #206 on:** July 24, 2012, 03:22:39 pm »

Umm yeah controls takes a long time to figure out, however with practise you can become really good at it. Here's some points that might explain how to strafe well:

From what i've noticed it doesn't work well on all controllers. For example i have 4 controllers total and i'm only able to play on 1 of them. If i try strafing on any of the others i fail completely.

A mistake i used to make in the beginning was that i pressed the analog stick with too much force. Just gently hold the analog stick in place and your chances of finding a full strafe increases quite a bit. As you get better at finding the spot this point becomes less important.

I'm not sure how "perfect" your positioning needs to be, when i play almost always get a good strafe, maybe not 100% perfect but good enough for most wr's (some agent wr's like Villa and Infiltration can be very difficult). In order to find the "sweet spot" i usually start off in the middle and push the analog stick straight forward (finding the correct starting forward angle is key, i often redo the releasing and push analog stick forward move several times during cinemas before i feel like i've found it), and then move it until it pretty much point towards the right end of the LB button (For right strafe). A beginners mistake is probably that you push the stick too far to the left or right, as it's very easy to get confused about the sticks absolute angle when watching the television screen and doing strafe changes and stuff.

defection pa 1:20.46
infil pa 1:43.60

had a 1:02 programmer on defection once :0 then i fell into a plant

speedruntrainer · « **Reply #208 on:** January 16, 2014, 04:00:24 am »

O_O awesome, Trent! Even after all these months, controls are still a nightmare for me.
Did you use N64 RTA strat for Defection Perfect Agent?

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #209 on:** January 16, 2014, 12:28:28 pm »

defection is the level to play if you are having difficulty with the controls

as long as you have patience and learn how to speech skip, you can probably get a third place time, at least on PA.

i didn't use the RTA strat. haven't really fooled around with it much, but the current WR strat is pretty optimized in terms of lift timing.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #210 on:** January 16, 2014, 12:45:04 pm »

Speech skip is actually doable?

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #211 on:** January 16, 2014, 12:54:33 pm »

...you got 1:21 without speech skip!?

Wyst3r · « **Reply #212 on:** January 16, 2014, 01:34:19 pm »

I don't remember actually, but i always thought speech skip was impossible/extremely inconsistent in PDX so i just assumed i didn't use it on Defection. I could very well be wrong though.

Edit: Looked back in this topic and yeah i definately used speech skipping. (Since you had a 1:23 video with speech skipping and i must've watched that before going for lower

) Guess my memory isn't too good

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #213 on:** January 17, 2014, 11:20:11 am »

heh, no worries. it's odd that defection seemingly is the only level where you can speech skip.

we still need to figure out why messages occasionally disappear for no reason (pelagic II). would save a lot of time if it could be executed consistently.

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #214 on:** January 28, 2014, 11:34:37 am »

duel a 3.66

not sure why I didn't have this yet. also tied the top points score with 2933 (16 headshots).

ChiBreez · « **Reply #215 on:** August 11, 2015, 06:35:45 pm »

Right, I accidentally posted in PRs. was talking about my defection 1:17.88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RoyPhWq-wo and villa PA 1:25.76 . Both i got about a month or 2 ago. I would definitely play up some P2 if i could get a consistent skip but until then im pretty dubious about that one. A shame because its such an amazing level.

Duel Agent 3.66

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #217 on:** August 25, 2015, 11:10:51 am »

Finally got my Duel 3.66. It took me way longer then I would have liked.

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #218 on:** August 27, 2015, 07:02:30 pm »

Going for the TWR of 6.63, then ended up with this on a bad 1st guard. Don't know how but this isn't maxed like first thought.

ChiBreez · « **Reply #219 on:** August 27, 2015, 07:50:54 pm »

Congrats on the untied EG!

May it last a while

That's a bit negative SMF. With everyone grinding duel SA someone was going to get it eventually.

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #220 on:** August 27, 2015, 08:06:57 pm »

Thanks Jeb, and SMF that vid proves that 6.55 is possible. No reason to stop just because I got 6.6 first, especially since I said I wasn't aiming for it in the first place, and I am not playing it anymore except aiming for a PA 9. It happened, it's done, please no reason to get angry over something like a duel record.

ChiBreez · « **Reply #221 on:** September 13, 2015, 06:39:43 pm »

Dat Airbase agent 1:10.55. Was tempted to play this after getting 114. This took me about a day so its highly improvable. An insane dragon part can save like .5 over this (but is super hard to do properly). Then my panel was total crap. Mid 109 or better is very possible. The most troll part of this level by far is the elevator door press. The hitbox is ridiculously smaller than on n64 and I miss it 80% of the time. Sorry about the terrible vid quality. I might upload a better version soon.

Wow the vid is insane actually lol. Took a while for quality options to kick in i guess.

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #222 on:** September 14, 2015, 12:48:44 am »

Dude, I really need to learn Air Base. that was a sick run congrats man.

ChiBreez · « **Reply #223 on:** September 14, 2015, 12:55:46 am »

Thanks EG, yeah it's just a level that appeals to me for a lot of reasons. It's relatively low rng, no cinema, short, and easy to get a run to the end. Very setup based really. Panel setup is a bit harder on Xbox but fast lasers is so much easier.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #224 on:** September 14, 2015, 12:13:51 pm »

Nice run, and amazing vid quality.

ChiBreez · « **Reply #225 on:** September 14, 2015, 01:32:22 pm »

Thanks man. Recorded using an HD60. Quite an insane little device.

AEB · « **Reply #226 on:** October 10, 2015, 09:29:59 pm »

Villa SA 1:12.36

Can see myself getting 1:11.5x or lower on a really good run.

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #227 on:** October 10, 2015, 11:40:15 pm »

That was an outstanding run. Watching that makes me more confident that I can lower my SA time by a bit.

AEB · « **Reply #228 on:** October 15, 2015, 05:55:41 pm »

Thanks man, good luck on improving your PR.

PDX ATTACK SHIP AGENT 2:08.31!!!

YES! first completion with the strats that I completely made up and wanted to test. They work alright lol. copied Chuya Takizawa's strats as well from the N64 2:06.

There will be ear deafening yells at the end. Please turn down volume as I start killing the Skedar at the end before Elvis shows up.

Wyst3r · « **Reply #230 on:** January 06, 2016, 01:20:29 pm »

Lol wtf, so Elvis warping actually works? That's so wierd. I can't remember who or why the N64 strat was abandoned in the first place, but considering the fact that everyone was trying to use it in the beginning (and knew about the randomness/potentially low probabilities), I just don't see how this could've been overlooked.

I guess the completion rate must be incredibly low or something? Roughly how often does it work?

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #231 on:** January 06, 2016, 03:08:07 pm »

Well, to be honest that was the first time it completed after I switched to Chuya's 2:06 strats and it only took 15 ish minutes.

Had another grinding session just now and got 4 completions in 25 minutes, took another 45 minutes to an hour for another and after 10 more minutes without one I stopped for today.

Now the real way to lower the time is to make the 2nd to last elevator on time and to have the perfect final 3 skedar. whoever can do that first will have probably an unbeatable UWR on XBLA.
just like Chuya does on N64.

Carathorn · « **Reply #232 on:** January 06, 2016, 03:33:58 pm »

"and no one here to see it"

saddest moment in twitch history

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #233 on:** March 17, 2016, 02:19:43 am »

So Timokles on XBLA, or as I like to call him, the Perfect Ace of PDX came out with a 17 second untied on Investigation SA and I have to say with this it might mean sub 2 is possible on N64? They use the same strats I think so if a cleaner run can be done then it might be possible for another giant untied on PD N64.

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #234 on:** March 21, 2016, 03:04:00 pm »

Attack Ship SA 2:36.90!!!

So with a new untied on Attack Ship SA on the N64 I decided to try copying the strats and managed to score a 21 second pb and wr by .6 seconds. Session took only an hour and I can see this going down to 2:30-2:31

Timokles · « **Reply #235 on:** September 23, 2016, 05:48:08 pm »

Attack Ship PA 3:07.70.

Skedar ruins PA : 1:28.68

WAR PA 57.18 Still very bad and might not last too long but it's something I guess lol. Nice to get after getting back into the game and after 7 hours of grinding and only 1 54 pace fail.

Timokles · « **Reply #238 on:** March 12, 2017, 01:17:46 pm »

WAR PA 56.25

very bad run, the "perfect" run is so hard to get for some reason, those doors on xbox are horrible

ZeroRBDash15 · « **Reply #239 on:** March 12, 2017, 04:14:28 pm »

I thought you were done with Perfect Dark

I guess my duel time will forever be my only wr lol
