Aztec Agent 1:29 Death x2

RWG · « **Reply #1501 on:** December 17, 2009, 06:52:00 pm »

Statue 00A 2:19

Well this took maybe an hour after not having played statue in 2 years. Felt pretty good. My Val strafing makes Boss look like he's not even a top 10 player on this level. Unfortunately I'm getting no luck with the Trev shot (always a limb hit or a fail) but as usual my strafing and boost getting abilities make up for it. I feel like I can definitely get 2:19 on all difficulties, including agent (remember, I was the first to tie 220A) but while I might have the skills for 2:18, there is really no point to push myself for it right now.

This 219 fail had a 35.4 return, I was late to the FR spot and had some bizarre freakout line to avoid Nat at the end. Oh yeah, I also took a really wide route at the beginning to avoid a backboost and gain a forward boost. Might make video

Haha! Nice to see you active men!

Boss · « **Reply #1503 on:** December 17, 2009, 10:38:00 pm »

I'd like to see the vid.

dont force me to play Silo

Silo...?

RWG · « **Reply #1506 on:** December 18, 2009, 02:32:00 am »

Go ahead Henning. Play Silo. I doubt you can beat 116/140.

I'll have the vid up tonight, Bryan.

But first tell me, what do you think of this season of Survivor?

Boss · « **Reply #1507 on:** December 18, 2009, 02:53:00 am »

It's the best season in a long time IF Russell wins it all (which he should). If not, it's only a mediocre season.

RWG · « **Reply #1508 on:** December 18, 2009, 03:39:00 am »

Yeah, I agree. I'm pulling for Russell too because he is amazing. I think he can win regardless of who wins the immunities. Shep thinks that there is no way that Brett wins, and Come thinks that there is no way that Russell wins, but I think those two guys should be the current favorites. Awesome season though

Here's the 219 video: http://goose.speedrunwiki.com/Ryan%20White%20-%20Statue%2000%20Agent%20-%202.19%20(failed)%20(music).wmv

I had to brighten it up in wmm a bit, hopefully it's good enough to see now.

It wasn't as good as I thought. My Val strafe was average and my return was actually only 35.26.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1509 on:** December 18, 2009, 08:12:00 am »

Aztec SA death - Insane run. Wr strat this time. 1:35/1:36 pace. Depends on what ending ratio i would've got. Died right before the exhaust room (Boosted by that anyoing guard behind) It's funny.. I'm much more consistent with the glass on SA. I get it open like 1/2 of the time sometimes, while Agent is currently like 1/25 lol. Must be because of lag, but i've always thought it opened more often with higher lag. I kinda think 135 is easier than 129, seriously. The start ain't much more anoying than on Agent, more consistent with glass, no guards outside the vents and plenty of life..

Wouter Jansen · « **Reply #1510 on:** December 18, 2009, 11:00:00 am »

so do the agent strategy, may have completions way less often, but it will stand out so much more!

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1511 on:** December 18, 2009, 11:27:00 am »

Yeah hehe, i know that has always been possible. Illu lost 2 bars before the exhaust room and survived and that involved shooting the 3 guards in the 1st. room. You would have to lose only 1 bar until the glass part and then avoid backboost when you approach to the data and then gain that boost that is almost impossible to avoid. It's not INSANELY hard with the killing right guard strat. With a lot of patience it could be pulled off.

Boss · « **Reply #1512 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:22:00 pm »

That 219 wasn't really that good. It seems like a .2 or something but it's hard to know without having the in-game music and stuff. The Val strafe was ok, but leaving moving backwards will lose a little bit of time with the acceleration taking longer. I do like that you hit the statue from the side though since Trev does come out faster with that method compared to what I usually use. 224 missed shot is a cakey time doing that anyway, but the shot fails way more for whatever reason.

RWG · « **Reply #1513 on:** December 18, 2009, 05:28:00 pm »

Hmm. I've actually had more success with hitting the statue on the left. Trev always fails for me when I hit it from the front.

Agreed on the Val-strafe-leave going backwards bit. I've started to do it your way and I've already seen a vast improvement. Usually Obj A doesn't fade out until halfway through that wall (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.)

Either way, I'm not going for 218. If I get it with first FR completion, then great. If not, whatever. I might go briefly for a couple 219 A fails if I get SA/00A quick enough.

Lovins · « **Reply #1514 on:** December 18, 2009, 09:01:00 pm »

Am I the only one other than Boss who's failed a 2:18?

Infected Mind · « **Reply #1515 on:** December 18, 2009, 09:38:00 pm »

I wasnt even aware you failed a 2:18 eddie. I thought boss was the only one :P

Time was untied when set. · « **Reply #1516 on:** December 18, 2009, 10:39:00 pm »

What Eddie? When did you fail 218? I dont remember that. I remember a A 219 fail but thats it.

But anyway Glen told me he failed a few 218s on 00A and Rayan failed a 218 on SA

Lovins · « **Reply #1517 on:** December 18, 2009, 11:36:00 pm »

Yes I had one on 00, in late 06/early 07 whenever I got 2:19.

RWG · « **Reply #1518 on:** December 18, 2009, 11:48:00 pm »

Statue 00 Agent 2:17

Got the FR and completed Obj B. Nat died because a spawning shotgun guard threw a grenade and killed her.

7:0 Three to Val, one to the statue, two leaving the statue and a 0.5 bar boost from the grenade which killed Nat

Boss · « **Reply #1519 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:00:00 am »

I almost believed it, but yeah that's just listing out all the possible boosts (not sure how you can get a nade boost though).

Lovins · « **Reply #1520 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:03:00 am »

Plus the 2nd shotgun boost would've killed you.

RWG · « **Reply #1521 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:04:00 am »

WRONGO

4 bars gone

Shotgun takes 1.75ish

So that's 4 + 3.5 = 7.5

You have 8 bars

EDDIE LOVINS MATH FAIL

The firm you work for should be embarrassed.

Lovins · « **Reply #1522 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:20:00 am »

Lol 1.75? And you call yourself one of the most knowledgeable players here?

4 kf7s followed by 2 shotguns definitely takes you to zero health, try it yourself. The only thing I was wrong about was it takes you to zero without killing you (then obviously the grenade would've killed you).

RWG · « **Reply #1523 on:** December 19, 2009, 02:22:00 am »

Use time stamps wisely!

ExtractedLife007 (11:05:57 PM): 4 kf7s =4 bars, 1 shotgun = 1 bar too?
RyanWhiteGoose (11:06:04 PM): shotguns are just under 2 bars
ExtractedLife007 (11:06:07 PM): or is it 1.5
RyanWhiteGoose (11:06:13 PM): 1.75ish
RyanWhiteGoose (11:06:18 PM): more like 1.9
ExtractedLife007 (11:06:19 PM): ah so thatd be like 7.x
RyanWhiteGoose (11:06:21 PM): yeah
ExtractedLife007 (11:06:33 PM): yeah

Boss · « **Reply #1524 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:27:00 pm »

To summarize, you will barely live 6 boosts (.2ish bars remaining) with 2 shotgun boosts.

Red Bull · « **Reply #1525 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:27:00 pm »

To summarize, get a body armour!

RWG · « **Reply #1526 on:** December 19, 2009, 03:50:00 pm »

To summarize, you can survive a grenade boost on ANY difficulty with 0.05 bars left.

speedruntrainer · « **Reply #1527 on:** December 19, 2009, 05:21:00 pm »

To summarize, I failed Caverns SA 1:29 (Scientists)

That's cakey stuff.. I did 59 on 00 Agent.

Damn. Too bad you didn't notice the timer at the bottom of the screen

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1532 on:** December 20, 2009, 10:41:00 am »

Also it would suprise me that you wouldn't notice the guards on the bridge was like stoneblocks since they feel like cutting through butter on Agent.

Surface OOA 151

ugh... somehow i missed the garbage in the safe (WTF?!) but i kept going and of course i did pretty good and got 151...

oh, i got this!

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1537 on:** December 25, 2009, 03:52:00 pm »

Aztec Agent - Got the glass open 3 times in two hours. Pretty good.. Guards fucked me.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1538 on:** December 28, 2009, 12:38:00 pm »

Aztec Agent 1:30 pace death - Old strat, very slow glass. This method ain't really like the normal old strat, but it's just as fast as the new strat and much easier to handle. I take the same route in the black room like the new strat but in left strafe. That way i can kill that corner guard and change to right strafe when i get to the compputer door. Then you have time for 2 or 3 quickpauses when that anoying corner guard is gone.

Illu · « **Reply #1539 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:09:00 pm »

great thinking

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1540 on:** December 28, 2009, 04:57:00 pm »

Ugh, 1:29 death x2. I think i have maybe figured out how to get more consistent with fast exhaust room guards wich is defentely needed for 1:29. It seemed quite random for me, but if you let that guard see you and actually look at the entrance to the exhaust room and then quickly go back before they come out and see you (Strafe a few feets down the hallway), they usually come faster or kinda warp their way. Even for a very clean run, 1:29 is still pretty tight. It's like you are on the edge all the time... I dunno, i guess 128 is doable, but you would need some kind of miracle.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1545 on:** December 29, 2009, 12:46:00 pm »

Annother 1:29 death. Probably my best run so far. Mid 129 pace. When i skip the glass, the laser guard outside the vent doesn't seem to care, but on a real run, he just must melt 2 laser shots right in my face lol.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1546 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:17:00 pm »

OH MY FUCKING GOD

The glass opened 2 SECONDS late and i got boosted around in there 3 times and was still on 129 pace. One of the guards opened the computer door right when i unpaused. I got behind the wall just before they could see me. Probably 126 pace if for a fast glass. I'll make the vid. Does anybody know how the hell one of the guards is fast enough for this? I would like to get more info on this if anybody know something. It would be cool if you could do that on purpose. I've probably expereinced the guards doing it 10 times so it's pretty rare..

Time was untied when set. · « **Reply #1547 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:22:00 pm »

Well he just didn't see you before so he ran right to the mainframe instead or something, or maybe he aimed his gun and didnt shoot.

But yeah make a vid, I'd love to see how you are managing 126 pace.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #1548 on:** December 29, 2009, 06:14:00 pm »

Hmm.. I don't think it's the "No shooting animation" that causes it. The speed would be the same as if he where shooting. I think there's some wierd explanation to it. Maybe one of the guards warps or maybe one of them simply ignores me and just run without stopping. I dunno.. It's a shame it doesn't happen more often. Really a shame.. TAS could do around 125 or 126. But i'll make the vid that's a promise, i'm defentely not owerwriting this haha.
