horrible PRs, but now I got points on every level except Defection PA

Defection PA 2:22

My 1200th time posted on the rankings. No glitch. Significant PR because:

- I'm now in the top 100 on every level (top 92, to be exact)
- sub 1:50:00 total time

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3759 on:** December 12, 2013, 04:30:57 pm »

2:22 no glitch? x_X WTF? x_X
Well, congratulations, Axel, you will reach a high top soon playing that way!

bcks · « **Reply #3760 on:** December 12, 2013, 06:17:40 pm »

I think like 2:15 is the old, old wr, for no glitch on def pa

AZ · « **Reply #3761 on:** December 12, 2013, 06:33:20 pm »

Surely someone must've gotten better than 2:15 without the use of the glitch? But perhaps speech skipping wasn't used back then? 2:05 or so should be possible, if not lower.

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3762 on:** December 12, 2013, 07:43:08 pm »

Yeah, I don't doubt the time. Simply it's impressive to me lol. And yeah, I think I remember a 2:15ish video no glitch.

Dark Slayer · « **Reply #3763 on:** December 12, 2013, 07:55:02 pm »

Congrats on breaking the 1:37:00 barrier, Otto. Getting seriously close to top 5.

And good job on those recent milestones, Axel. Why glitchless though, just for the style points?

(ps: that number of posted PRs is pretty insane)

"Lot of things went right on this run, [...]"

Good job Axel

You'd probably be Top30 by now if PD wasn't unproven's paradise.

speedruntrainer · « **Reply #3765 on:** December 13, 2013, 05:15:13 am »

Yeah Axel, you have create a proven rankings page for Perfect Dark aswell.
Would be awesome!

AZ · « **Reply #3766 on:** December 13, 2013, 08:12:18 am »

A proven rankings for PD would be pretty daft. I mean, you'd get like 81 points for N/A on Ruins PA, and in average like 75-80 points for N/A on any other PA level. Compare that to Control 00A, GE's least proven stage, where you "only" earn 56 points for N/A atm.

I just wanted to get points on every stage and I figured it would take lots of hours to learn the glitch (I'm already quite inconsistent at it on Agent, and you need to do it twice on SA/PA). Whenever I get back to Defection, I'll learn and use the glitch.

Illu's 2:15 was pretty good. My 2:22 was on PAL so that already gives me a lift-disadvantage of like 3 seconds, and I lost like 2 seconds on the last mine so I can probably get 2:17 at least

speedruntrainer · « **Reply #3767 on:** December 13, 2013, 08:26:17 am »

Yeah, that's true 80+ pointers for N/A.
I have an eye for the top 10

OHMSS · « **Reply #3768 on:** December 13, 2013, 12:18:27 pm »

Were the majority of decent PD times (like: 50+ pointers now, probably 80+ when achieved) proven back in the day and the videos are simply lost/unavailable or was it always the degenerated wasteland that it is today?

Dark Slayer · « **Reply #3769 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:17:05 pm »

Pictures were accepted as proof back then, so I guess a lot of those old PRs weren't taped. And some old videos probably got lost too (speaking of which, I wonder if someone has my Invest PA 2:42 vid somewhere).

AZ · « **Reply #3770 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:25:11 pm »

Not all PD videos are up on the rankings. PR videos of kack, DarkHawk, Ghus Dark, xXDarkLightXx, captZEEbo, Cervone, bcks, Henrik, Gragz etc exist but aren't online yet.

Pretty sure Wouter has it. He captured Brazilian videos a couple of years ago.

Crash Site A 1:26 and SA 1:39

Really just wanted to practice the mine throw for races, but figured I may as well improve some 0 point times in the process. I think I have the mine throw figured out

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3772 on:** January 04, 2014, 07:26:31 am »

Last night I couldn't sleep, so I turned on the N64 and played some PD... Some new decent improvements I did:

Defection - PA - 1:44.
From 1:56. Guard opening office's strat :P. I'm starting to get some consistence with that strat

. The run was meh and the ending was slow, so going for lower.

G5 - Agent - 0:46.
From 0:52. Amazing, I should have done ths years ago, seemed cake :S... Also from 1 points to 59, so good I guess. The run was decent, but I lost time in some places, like a troll door, so going for 0:44ish. Only 2 stages left with 0 points, MBR Agent and Infiltration Agent. The MBR one only needs a decent Cassandra, so the problem is really the other one...

Crash Site - Agent - 1:20 (82 points).
From 1:28. Too easy stage, you just need to hope for a fast president... I lose time in first objective, though. I might eventually go for lower, but I'm happy with the time atm.

Crash Site - SA - 1:34.
From 1:38. Shitty, slow president. I have paced 1:31s failing the mine throw, so I'll go for at least 1:32.

I also paced a few decent (for me) times in other stages.

Passed 2 people in both point and time ranks.

This is just a little evidence that I plan to clean my PD times like I've done with GE. I'm not active yet, though, I just played yesterday night due to insomnia.

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3777 on:** January 10, 2014, 02:35:04 am »

Glad that you got it, but if you are still inconsistent or slow with it and you're still interested in it, I have 2 videos that might help:

Tutorial: how to throw it easily with 100% of consistency: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfPWBBC_Uhc
In that video I try to explain how to throw the mine. Then, once you know how to throw it, if you want to speedrun the level, you just have to do it like in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrXGiQg6VOs
It is basically the same, but you don't go to an exact place, and you don't aim, and all that stuff. In fact, you wanna be fast to increase president's chances of being faster.

I hope this helps.

wishiwasfamous · « **Reply #3778 on:** January 10, 2014, 12:10:25 pm »

Very informative, thanks! I was getting it about 50% of the time, just throwing it haphazardly. You're throwing it pretty far right of the peak of that mountain (where your detonator is lining up), I guess I was throwing mine too close to the peak when I failed it.

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3779 on:** January 10, 2014, 01:48:38 pm »

Yeah, I had that problem aswell some time ago, so I decided to check where were the mines exploding, because I did need a safe consistent strat for my DLTK. I didn't know the WR strat yet, though, it's faster and almost equally consistent.

Well, glad it helped

Having a break of study:
Infiltration - Agent - 1:16
From 1:19. Took around 15 minutes to get. 1:15 might be doable. Pased David K5 in point ranks

With this, I only have now 1 pointless time, MBR Agent, so come on, Cassandra, stop trolling!...

ERayzz · « **Reply #3785 on:** January 23, 2014, 09:37:21 pm »

I recently picked up the game again, after years of "retirement", purely out of boredom.

So far, 3 PRs for me

Chicago PA: 0:31
Maian SOS PA: 2:28
Maian SOS A: 1:46

Yeah, these are bad times hehe.

And for some reason I can't seem to catch the second lift in time on Maian SOS A when I skip the cinematic. When I watch it all, the lift arrives between 1:24 and 1:31. Is there anything that can be done to influence the speed of the lift? Because it's a real mystery for me why its timing would be so random.

Also, when I want to update my times on the rankings, it says there's no user with my email address, I don't remember which address I used back when I registered here

AZ · « **Reply #3786 on:** January 24, 2014, 08:05:15 am »

I changed your email on the ranks to david.raymond64@gmail.com (your old one was evagi@videotron.ca). You should now be able to reset your password and log in on the ranks by using your gmail

ERayzz · « **Reply #3787 on:** January 24, 2014, 01:26:07 pm »

Thanks a lot man!

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3788 on:** January 24, 2014, 08:45:18 pm »

MBR - SA - 1:37
From 1:44. 1 second lost in Cass office (not proper speech skip) + 3 seconds lost for one of her stupid delay troll sentences costed me a really good time (at least for PAL).

Some minutes after:
MBR - A - 1:39
From 1:40. Irrel pointless bad time. Cass is always either troll or slow. Plus, 2nd lift is another big troll, and I don't get speech skip 100% of my runs, so still hard to beat this time.

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3789 on:** January 25, 2014, 11:03:01 am »

Air Base - Agent - 1:20.
From 1:23. I don't know where I did cut 3 seconds, but I guess I did fast the lasers area.

Edit: I didn't notice I have passed the 3000 points

.

ERayzz · « **Reply #3790 on:** January 25, 2014, 02:08:23 pm »

Extraction A: 0:53
Quite easy, for some reason, the part that gave me the most trouble is when we disarm the guy next to the Rocket Launcher, I would always miss him, or get stuck by the door besides him because of the two other guys that just run around.

I think I could go for 0:52, but I don't have the patience for this, so I'll leave it like this for now.

If I ever manage to do a mistake-less run on Chicago SA, I could get 0:28, but there's too much variance in this level for me. I did 0:29 several times yesterday, there was always a little detail that could be improved that could make it 0:28. I wonder how people manage to get 0:26, that's crazy !

I also decided to compare my times with the person right under me in the rankings, and try to beat all of his times, next up is G5 A. There's something that really pisses me off on this level, and it's right after depositing the camspy. When I try to jump off the ramp in order to go upstairs where the safe is, a guard sees me about 95% of the time, so he activates the alarm and the mission fails. It's already rare enough that I get to this point without messing up something just to get a mission failed 95% of the time.

Yeah, the timing is random. Skipping the cinema allows you to catch an earlier lift cycle (and get better PRs) though. Just make sure you can consistently get to the final lift at 1:20 pace or faster and a good one will show up eventually. PAL players shouldn't have much trouble getting something in the low 1:40s.

ERayzz · « **Reply #3792 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:31:34 am »

Oh, so if I can make it to the lift before 1:20 consistently, I could try skipping the cinematic, so eventually I'll get a fast 2nd lift?

Or did you say this for watching the whole cinematic?

It sounds too good to be true lol.

Dark Slayer · « **Reply #3793 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:58:26 am »

First option, yea. :P Skip the cutscene and get there before 1:20 consistently.

If you watch PAL videos (basically everyone from the 1:38-1:45 range, except for Shade), you'll see that the lift is already there when they arrive, so the faster you go, the better your PR will be. It just takes a while till you get the right lift, that's why consistency is important.

ERayzz · « **Reply #3794 on:** January 26, 2014, 03:36:52 pm »

I tried a little bit yesterday, and it seems like I'm a tad too slow. I arrive at the lift around 1:21 - 1:22, never under. I have no idea where I can save time there, so I'll try when I get better

Anyways, still got two PRs yesterday

G5 A: 0:44 (could go for 0:42, but I don't have much patience for this level, I'm WAYYY too inconsistent with the cloak guards rooms)

Attack Ship A: 2:24 (from 2:26). Could mayyyybe do 2:22

There must be something I don't understand on this one, being 18 seconds away from the WR, and no clue where to save time (except that little 2-3 seconds I wait in the star map room to make Obj 2 consistent).

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3795 on:** January 29, 2014, 07:51:47 pm »

Defection - SA - 0:37 - 85 points!
From 0:44. No cinema (doorless). The run wasn't great and this time is easy to pace, so going for lower. 0:35 would be great to get

.

2nd 80+ pointer time this month

. I'll try to get more, still 2 days left

.

Passed Clemens in point ranks

Dark Slayer · « **Reply #3796 on:** January 30, 2014, 08:46:48 am »

Oh hey, congrats. That's a nice timecut there, pretty solid PR.

And I lost a point.

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3797 on:** January 30, 2014, 04:42:39 pm »

Oh, thanks, and sorry

. But well, watching the run again, I saw I lost 2 full seconds only for guards blocking me, so yeah, 35 incoming soon

.

wishiwasfamous · « **Reply #3798 on:** January 31, 2014, 10:22:58 pm »

So on Investigation PA at the beginning, is there a certain area I should be shooting my clip when following the yellow cleaning bot when luring the guards? Is it random and infrequent to get the guards to open the brown door regardless of where I shoot? It gets really frustrating having to wait upwards of 15 minutes to get another clean exit from the brown door!

Deep-Darkness · « **Reply #3799 on:** February 01, 2014, 05:35:54 am »

I shoot 4 times before entering the brown corridor and other 4 while entering. But it's not those 4 guards who open the door to me, it's that patrolling guard before the brown corridor. He opens the door for me like 1/3 of the time (sometimes more often), so I just try to go the fastest in that area to see the door open.

Hope this helps.
