Been watching Irie stream Streets Agent lately and it made me wonder what the MAX time to complete the level successfully would be?
Has this ever been looked into before as part of an old challenge or anything? Obviously it has no value to speedrunning the level, but as the only level with a finite timer other than Silo 00 it'd be cool to know what the most time can be taken to complete it in legitimately.
Three things I've noted so far: skip the cinemas, leave the level at the last possible frame before the timer expires and the objective fails; and, even though it's on Agent, you need to talk to Valentin to get an extra 6 minutes.
I think the key here is figuring out exactly how long it takes him to contact his associates once he ends his conversation, so you can start talking to him at a perfect frame to burn up the initial time you're given as much as possible, without failing. It's also important to skip both cinemas so you're in the level a few extra seconds before the timer starts. If Valentin is inconsistent on how long he normally takes to reset the timer to six minutes, following him all the way to his default despawn point at the level's start is probably a consistent way to time him.
So, if you skipped the cinemas, burned down the initial timer to the last possible second before talking to Valentin so he can still complete and give you the 6-minute extension, and then exit the level at the last possible frame, what's the longest time possible? Anyone tried this before just for the hell of it?
