I just can't get interested in fast solo times any more. So here are all the strats and tricks I was using when trying for 111, 129, 141.

Agent:

1) Use a C-Left lean to take press the button
2) Leave the tower the other way
3) Use a tiny bit of look up when leaving the explosives area to always prevent blue guard blocking you on ladder. Look down as soon as you feel the framerate go bad.

Special:

1) Throw the bug from way, way down town. I'm talking before the large structure. To the point where you can get 35 flat shields.

Perfect:

1) Quit cinema at communicay-, throw grenade at closest inteceptor, then at far one. Toss bug SA way. Vague'd.

All:

Warp out of both lifts, duh.

could you please make videos to show us how these tricks are done? I'm sure many people would appreciate that, if not, I know I would.

Vague'd indeed. Wouldn't the drone gun destroy you while you're doing that though?

The drone can turn 360 degrees?

DarkSlayer64 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 21, 2005, 08:47:00 pm »

I don't think so.

I meant it could destroy you while you're kneeling, throwing the comms rider, etc. Unless I misunderstood what Matt wrote.

i guess it can

vitor · « **Reply #7 on:** July 21, 2005, 09:30:00 pm »

Doesn't matter much I guess. If you walk a little by the drone he won't shoot you.

Your Eliteness · « **Reply #8 on:** July 21, 2005, 09:57:00 pm »

Yeah, past the drone, but not as far as the structure. You'd be a sitting duck for grenades though.

Another hint:

For PA, you have to throw your grenades as early as possible. Think MUCH earlier than ever done before.

vitor · « **Reply #10 on:** July 21, 2005, 10:17:00 pm »

Good hint.

Matt-Cook1 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 21, 2005, 10:26:00 pm »

Think about it instead of bitching.

Also, for PA, you DO NOT want to do the SA insane bug toss. So don't think about that

What is leaving the tower the other way for agent? Does that mean go around the front of the tower instead of the back?

Your Eliteness · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2005, 12:20:00 am »

I would assume so. The only problem is which strafes to use. You could do a 270 degree turn to the right and keep right strafe all the way past the techie, or same thing but change to left strafe after landing, or you could just do a 90 degree turn to the left with a crazy combination of backstrafe, landing in left strafe.

Matt-Cook1 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2005, 01:27:00 am »

Hit it then right strafe. Also right strafe for the techie hit.

What's your deal, Vitor?

DarkSlayer64 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2005, 01:44:00 am »

Did you time the difference, Matt?

Matt-Cook1 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2005, 02:33:00 am »

0.15 - 0.2

Narigutita · « **Reply #18 on:** July 22, 2005, 03:39:00 am »

i didnt get how leaving the tower on the other side can be faster...maybe somebody can explain it better?

vitor · « **Reply #19 on:** July 22, 2005, 04:09:00 am »

Matt, I love you.

vitor · « **Reply #20 on:** July 22, 2005, 04:14:00 am »

Nari: see YE's explanation and try to imagine it. I can see how that helps, since you'll save two strafe changes.

Matt-Cook1 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 22, 2005, 04:34:00 am »

To go around the current way, you're going backwards a lot more (ie in the opposite direction to the techie). Now after you do that you have to strafe along a line that isn't directly to the techie, then you straighten up to go to him. Leaving the opposite way sets you up on a perfect line towards him straight away and there's less going "backwards". This would be bad if you had an uber un-tight controller, though.

ah, i see... thanks
