Post Official Speed Run Claims HERE

[Darth Vader]

There's nothing to lol at, at Silo 104. Fac 46, Dep 26, Train 106, Frigate 27 first try would be much sicker imo.

[Illu]

ww.. ..what?

[Assassin22]

I dont know if anyone updates the speedrun page for ge, but I'm going to be doing a sa run tonight and posting the mission time total on monday. So do we still have to be penalized when changing controller styles?

[speedruntrainer]

I still hope it's updated, but if it's not, I can make a page
I have 21:33 MT on Agent, I don't know for RT, but you can calculate it since I have a video.

Hmmm, I have some people have their control styles set before they begun, but tbh, I don't care about that.

Good Luck with your run, Assassin.

EDIT: LAST UPDATED ON: January 07th, 2008

So yeah, I think I will make a page.

[SpiderWaffle]

That was a great run Henning, but why didn't you use the strat on train where you shoot some the floor then shoot trev then shoot the rest of it and leave?

[Illu]

The records for A SA and 00a are kinda insane nowadays but I decided to try instead:

GE agent speedrun with Aztec and Egypt (also without auto aim just for fun :P)

NTSC

dam 55
fac 55 - heh shit
run 24 - alright
s1 1:06 - alright
b1 21 - still going
silo 1:30 - eh ok lets just move on
frig 47 - fuck
s2 57 - haha
b2 30 :/ oh well few sec
statue 2:32
arch 22 - hmm well 17 18 shouldn't be that hard but :P
streets 1:15 - very low decimal heh
depot 29 - missed ts
train 1:15 - better than I expected on ntsc, didn't have to kill Ouru, somewhat slow run up to there but with more kills = low lag ending was good
jungle 1:09 - ugh really don't like this on ntsc, worse than train probably but still I wasn't expecting this kind of total crap run, I just didn't feel confident on the mine throws and missed some, had to turn back and shit
control 4:15 - not very good run but this time still keeps this run going pretty well
cavs 1:06 - kinda normal for cavs I guess
cradle 47 - could have been faster with this strat but sub 50 is always good for this somewhat random level
aztec 2:22 - kinda should do glass strat maybe but
egypt 49 - shows I've been playing this level recently kinda should go closer for 2nd baron, only loses like 2 sec anyways and don't need to risk losing like 10sec, can still get 49 like that with good 1 shot last baron

total time: 23:46 - cake to improve I guess but at least we have a time to aim for if someone feels like giving this a shot, try no auto aim and maybe it's not that easy :P

hmm and I had 20:35 after cradle, well a little over 1 and half minute slower than hennings great agent wr, egypt is pretty much as good as it gets though but I guess getting a 20:35 run to aztec again shouldn't be that hard and then pwn a glass strat heh

[Henning Blom]

Noway that youre gonna trick me into playing Agent speedruns again!  Cool idea though, no autoaim sounds quite gay and great egyptian time, surely something you would want on a sub21(?) run, and you tied two of my times there too (115/115 ) so it may be doable with autoaim and glas on Aztec combined with a run like mine... maybe.

Haha yes exactly just waited out a 53 before going on with the other levels.

[Illu]

You should be able to beat your statue PR easily on a speedrun like this I think even if the FR is in the worst spot you should still be able to get like 2:42 if you know where to check next immediately if it's not in the best spot, 2nd best spot and so on. Hmm there might be some uber far away spot though that thankfully is kinda rare to get, that one really sucks though and could make you end up with a high 2:40.

S2 can be improved by a second yes, well maybe more not sure, but I used to get 55 almost every try.

I think the suicide strat on cradle works always but sometimes it takes alot longer, it's kinda annoying but it should have pretty good odds for a sub 1min or sub 50sec if you do it right.

[Boss]

You should be able to get around Cradle 44 or so.  Just get like 2 body hits in the hut, then go on the right part of the rail on top and get 2 head shots from above for an easy kill (both guns shooting at the same time).

[Wouter Jansen]

You should be able to keep this going.

[Illu]

ah.. I bet my sa is better than my agent 19:58, my sa 31:38 is still swedish record I guess?

Maybe you should just go for 00a though, I remember in 2008 you kicked both me and hennings ass on that :P I guess hennings record is like impossible for almost anyone now on 00a but my 43 doesn't require really insane speed, just good speed/consistency/knowledge/improvisation. I kinda liked my 00a run though, just too bad about cradle where I got some shitty near 2min time.

[AZ]

I still think the SA record is by far the worst (sorry Clemens) since on my 32:12 I had 3:48 on Caverns. There are two key levels on SA: Caverns and Aztec. If you can get sub 2 min on Caverns and 2:20-2:30ish on Aztec, sub 30 minutes is pretty much guaranteed.

I'm not in the mood to lower 00A though (I don't even know what my record is; I remember having over 2 minutes on Cradle though). 00A speedruns should be way easier on JAP because you can get BAs on levels such as Silo, Bunker 2 and Caverns.

[Henning Blom]

COMEBACK!!!

well after a few months w/o playing now I tried speedrunning through the first 18 levels and keep going no matter what happens (to warm up, it feels kinda awkward to play GE now again) and see what I come up with!

Dam 55 - yeah
Facility 49 - messed up pretty bad after first warp til A door..
Runway 24
S1 111 - LOL no kf7, missed warp, emptied a clip on the first lock since I didnt see the dot lolol

Frigate fail  15 pause out- accidently killed 2nd hostage haha
Frigate fail think 19 pauseout, missed bug

Statue 240 - most gay possible fr, high 34 return
Archives 17 wow lol
Streets 115
Depot 26 - very good first try after this break imo
Train 1:27 - LOL, guards didnt open doors at the end, decent run though
Jungle 57 - Xenia roll, messed up A for SA a little while cus of that heh
Control 414 - Decent run, slow nat
Caverns 109 didnt make past trev
Cradle 49

okey, thats it, lets pwn some GE now somehow.

[50]

Good news.

[Illu]

SA! SA! SA!  ;D

[OHMSS]

Nice to see you ripping shit up again. Go go 3rd and/or speedrun WR sweep!! If you wont, I'll do it  

btw: Your 00 Agent speedrun was a great source for strats for some of the harder levels for me, thanks for that!

[Time was untied when set.]

Just completed some crappy 39:45 or so. Had a 1:51 D fail on Caverns and 1:34 killed in action on cradle after chasing trev down. Pretty ridic bullshit. I activated the radio on Caverns right when it blew up, so D failed anyway despite hearing the radio sound. Without the Caverns gay fail it would have been an untied already, and without the Cradle death it would have been like 36:20 or so. Pretty ridiculous... Had some awful 5:06 on Control where i waited like 20 seconds for Nat though, but the rest of the run was solid. Silo 136, B2 112, statye 229, train 230, jungle 120, bunker 1 114, s1 151. Ah well.. guess Ill give this another shot soon... but its becoming harder and harder to even feel like trying now... might just quit lol.

[Illu]

Sounds pretty insane if you managed to complete one without death or fail, not surprised you're having trouble though, I mean at those speeds and the randomness. Too bad luck has started to play in so much even on 00a but I guess you could make some slightly easier strat for some annoying parts if you have a run going with like 2min to spare compared to the wr :P

[DYM]

I compiled a list of mediocre times for a 00A speedrun which totalled up to like 37:14 and honestly, most of them weren't even that good so I'd love to see 35:xx or something happen. I can understand how a million things can go wrong, but still you shouldn't take too many risks (I am assuming you are because of the 1:51 fail, Silo 1:36, etc.) to get a decent overall time. I would practice the annoying levels a lot before attempting a speedrun (Caverns, Silo, Train, etc.) too.

Good luck if you continue. It's been quite a long time since the current WR was set. :P

[Illu]

hmm.. just realized he is playing JAP ofcourse, so that makes it possible to do some crazy caverns time like that and take more risks on silo.

[Boss]

Jap is the main reason he's even bothering.

[Henning Blom]

Yeah if I would ever try to improve my 00A time I would use JAP as well. Though 36.xx should be doable on NTSC but very hard.

[DYM]

Honestly 33:xx (maybe 32, dunno) or so could probably happen if a full 00A speedrun was played to death like every regular levels is. 36:xx doesn't seem to be THAT hard because decent times total up to about 34 minutes. That gives you 2 whole minutes for stucks, screw-ups, etc.

[Time was untied when set.]

Decent times total to 34 minutes? lol? These are all of my "ideal" times for first try situations, and i think these only add up to mid 35/36:

dam 203
facility 105 (no patience to run straight to labs lol )
runway 44 (i suck with the tank and want 100% consistency)
s1 151
bunker 115
silo 135
frigate 119 or so
s2 148
bunker 115
statue 230
archives 56
streets 200
depot 115 (could be like 105 but i get the first BA to make it cakey)
train 235
jungle 115
control 435
caverns 1:55
cradle 50
aztec 330
egypt 50

I think completing a speedrun with those times on every level is pretty insane even on Jap, because theres innumerable gay things that happen, and using faster strats on silo, caverns, jungle and train tends to result in many failures. Odds of getting to caverns and actually completing the run are pretty low, trev likes to run ahead of you, radio gets damaged, scientists act like retards although ive found a consistent strat to help odds... every now and then something lame happens. It just seems like Jap has a bit worse overall guard luck or something, I dunno, just sucks all the gayest levels are at the end lol.

[Wouter Jansen]

in my head those add up to 35:06 and yes they could go lower.

[Time was untied when set.]

but 2 minutes lower? lol.

[Illu]

they, could.. yea  :P

I'd lose a few sec here and there, silo for sure, bunker 2 is shit, archives I'm lucky if I get sub 1min lol. Control is sick without BA but if you have the health then yea, Cavs I have no idea about how I'd deal with that on JAP, Aztec I had 4.03 and 4.12 on my last (43min and 46min runs) so I guess I could go sub 4.

Well I'd probably destroy my 43min and cake 39min or so on JAP but I can see it still being a challenge to get like 36min.

I would also look for doak in more places on facility and stuff like that, like leave some room for improvisation on a few levels.

Hennings 38.20 is still pretty insane btw, so on JAP you might save some on like silo and cavs but most of the other levels were tip top on that run.

[DYM]

I said 32/33:xx if it was played to death. And yes, some of them could go much lower like Aztec and Train (I can understand why you put 2:35 there but still, it could probably be like 2:15 on PAL). Also, you could save like a few seconds on some of those levels like Runway or Jungle.

[Wouter Jansen]

if you play JP you need Japanese standards. that would probably be 30 min so we're being nice here.

[Infected Mind]

lol wouter

[Time was untied when set.]

Wouter : you have no idea what you are even talking about. Seriously please stop talking before you dig yourself into a pretty deep hole

Ace : How do you know it hasnt been played much? I've put easily 15h into a new 00A wr on Jap, and i can tell you its gay as fuck. Using Jap means having to use riskier strats, more similar to SA speedruns, on a few levels. It's like saying the SA speedrun wr could be like mid 27 in theory, but nobody will ever get that luck. Look at the WRs on some normal levels. Silo could easily be 120 if someone got lucky, but that luck never happens. 00A speedruns are very similar. Nobody will ever get luck throughout the entire run, EVER, and i guarantee you that nobody will complete Aztec with glass strat at the end of an awesome Jap 00A speedrun either, because getting past caverns seems to take about 20+ hours alone, so the odds of actually completing Aztec with glass seems quite low imo. Maybe I just suck, but theres a million ways to fail Caverns alone, and you have to deal with plenty other levels that arent really benefited at all from Jap (control, jungle, train, streets, archives, frigate are all the same, and although fails on these levels arent that common, they can and will happen.). Basically all Jap does is allow a riskier, faster strat to be used on silo and caverns, and a more careless run on B2, it really doesnt make completing a run any easier unless you use pussy strats on Caverns etc.

[Time was untied when set.]

About goddamn fucking time.

00 Agent Speedrun - 36:19

Well this took kind of a while, although I had a few kinda rotten times, overall pretty balanced and I'm much happier about this than my current SA record which is pure garbage. Anyway my times were:

Dam 2:01 best 1:59 - Standard. Don't really give a shit what I get here.
Facility 1:13 best ????, guessing 1:01 or something - Fuck this level, I just check every Doak spot on the way, I think i got the shitty one on top of the stairs here
Runway 0:44 best 43- Safe with the last 2 drones, don't see any point risking this level, though 48 is still pretty bad, not sure what happened lol
Surface 1 1:53 best 1:50- Decent. I think the ending was bad.
Bunker 1 1:15 best 114 - Solid
Silo 1:34 best 1:30- Solid
Frigate 1:28 best 1:17- Garbage run, but at least A didn't take long, although thats cake with this strat.
Surface 2 1:54 best 1:46 - Worst run ever? Fucked up the first cam and guard kill, HORRIBLE run.
Bunker 2 1:18 best 1:08- Bad last cam, otherwise solid run, probably 108/109 pace to the ending.
Statue 2:31 best 229? - Horrible run , mid 33 return, but got the WR fr spot
Archives 0:57 best 55- Standard. I get 55 like 1/2 runs lol
Streets 2:00 best 1:58- standard
Depot 1:20 best 1:16?- Shitty run I guess, almost died, scary stuff, whatever.
Train 3:06 best 2:31? - HORRRRRRRRIBLE. got completely FUCKED by the guards in the 2nd car even when trying to kill them safely. Some box blew up and i couldnt hit them but they could all hit me. Then had to do the entire level with 3 bars being safe. Completely amazed I even lived this run.
Jungle 1:18 best 1:14?- Good enough, pretty routine.
Control 4:39 best 4:26- Meh, not thrilled with this, but it could have been worse. Acceptable.
Caverns 1:52 best 1:52- FUCK YEAH!! I hate this level with a passion on 00A speedruns. I entered the lift with ZERO BARS LEFT! Some box boosted me at the end, then got shot into the lift. Scary shit... almost had a heart attack at the lift, lol.
Cradle 51 best 48-  Good enough. Trev dropped the nade slow as dick, but the rest went very well. I was actually happy he even dropped the nade, because sometimes if he doesnt drop it earlier, he can completely fuck you over.
Aztec 3:28 best 3:28 - Fuck yeah! Nailed this level. Pretty much exactly how i would want it to be, although a few minor bad parts or me being too cautious, but i had some terrible guard luck with an ar33 guard backing me THREE FUCKING TIMES before Jaws and i figured after that I might get screwed, but I was able to dodge laser shots at the ending lol.
Egypt 57 best 53???- Whatever, horrible run but i had insane nerves and i dont care what i get here.

Ill post the vid probably tomorrow or the next day. Gonna take a while to capture it all. But I'm pretty happy with this, i might try for lower for fun though since my train time was so bad and i think i can still get lower on a lot of the other levels, but this is pretty good I think even for Jap and I might try SA next or something. Sub 30 would be nice, and ive already put a lot of time into it.

[OHMSS]

Godlike Can't wait to watch the full japanese DC ownage!

[Illu]

yea should be fun to watch

[DYM]

Ace : How do you know it hasnt been played much? I've put easily 15h into a new 00A wr on Jap, and i can tell you its gay as fuck.

If you go for a good WR you would expect to get it after about 20+ hours of play (excluding luck factors of course). The same could apply for a full 00A speedrun. Play it for like 50+ hours and you will eventually get a good time. That and people usually try full runs for like a week or two and then give up. I am not saying you do this, I'm just saying people usually do it in general.

Nobody will ever get luck throughout the entire run, EVER, and i guarantee you that nobody will complete Aztec with glass strat at the end of an awesome Jap 00A speedrun either, because getting past caverns seems to take about 20+ hours alone, so the odds of actually completing Aztec with glass seems quite low imo. Maybe I just suck, but theres a million ways to fail Caverns alone, and you have to deal with plenty other levels that arent really benefited at all from Jap (control, jungle, train, streets, archives, frigate are all the same, and although fails on these levels arent that common, they can and will happen.).

Of course you will never get WR type luck on every level during a speedrun. But my point is you should try to be as risky as you can on every level possible. The glass strat is a huge timesaver. You could save an entire minute (maybe even more) if you pull it off correctly. The odds of it opening aren't really that terrible to justify not using it. If it doesn't open then just restart the speedrun. It's like saying you have a Jungle 00A 0:53 pace run and you don't want to use to use the warp at the end because you're afraid of missing it. That's how I think it is, anyway.

But anyway, congrats on the new WR. Glad that we finally have a decent 00A speedrun time now.

[Henning Blom]

Good work, almost two minutes untied, not sure if Im gonna try to answer on that though, we'll see

[Boss]

Is there an updated rankings for GE/PD speedruns?  Kent's site is pretty old news now.
