Saw this trick talked about in an old n64 magazine where you repeatedly press start when talking to mishkin to skip dialogue.

My friend has tried it out and it worked.

Is the use of this 'strategy' (albeit dodgy) valid?

Lovins · « **Reply #1 on:** April 14, 2007, 04:19:00 pm »

It would be, if it worked, but as far as I know some ppl here have tried everything imaginable for speech skipping and never found a way.

Perhaps it's different for Mishkin but as far as I know pausing only delays the next message to come up, then when you stop pausing, the later messages just last a shorter time, i.e. same total time for all messages.

Troublesome Moral Code · « **Reply #2 on:** April 14, 2007, 05:10:00 pm »

keep in mind pausing lasts 4 seconds. One message is around five seconds. However quick a pause might seem it's only a trick of the eyes I guess, it's not actually saving any time at all. Thus, Eddie is right.

Might be wise to do some real tests with it, like recording and comparing vids and such.

PerfectTaste · « **Reply #4 on:** April 15, 2007, 07:20:00 am »

Speech Skipping would be the same as shooting Natalya more then once on Control. If you skip one message, the second message will take longer to get up. Therefor speechskipping doesn't gain time in GE. It works, but actually not

(Atleast that is what I have heard)

ParaGod64 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 15, 2007, 10:31:00 am »

what if you skipped the very last line only?

SimThreat · « **Reply #6 on:** April 15, 2007, 10:14:00 pm »

The length of time that an interaction lasts has nothing to do with the txt you see on the screen. Its an internal timer. The time at which each of those different txts appear is based on internal timer, not on the length of time the previous txt was up for.

Boss · « **Reply #7 on:** April 15, 2007, 10:28:00 pm »

And that's why you don't need to shoot Nat on Control for the 2nd meeting.

bcks · « **Reply #8 on:** April 16, 2007, 05:27:00 am »

What about trevs speach on facility, people have noticed different speeds bettewn his text. Key word bettewn.

Not-so-Perfect-Dark · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2007, 07:51:00 am »

Maybe a PAL/NTSC difference? Unless you mean one person noticed it was different on their own runs.

Soft-Hedwig · « **Reply #10 on:** April 16, 2007, 08:12:00 am »

I thought bettewn was a typo. Then i realised it was written twice.

DrugAgainstAngst · « **Reply #11 on:** April 16, 2007, 08:29:00 pm »

Maybe if you shoot Trev after the first message comes up the 2nd comes up faster... or better yet lay a mine under him and blow him up ASAP.

it helps when a key word is actually a word

lol, i wasnt sure if he spelt it wrong or what... knowing him it was probably a spelingg airor.

SpiderWaffle · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:06:00 pm »

You could try to get a guard to open the safe, I'm not sure if they are even able to, but it's worth a try.

Troublesome Moral Code · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:34:00 pm »

I tried that, that just doesn't happen. $:\$ If it does ever happen though I know a strat to have a guard right in front of the safe when you arrive, so the WR would go right down to like 0:26 (INSANE)

Edit

Maybe more like around 29-31

DrugAgainstAngst · « **Reply #16 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:51:00 pm »

I thought about doing insane mishkin strafing, shooting out the window, then strafing him back to the safe, but surely itd be extremely difficult/impossible. Maybe someone who is good at strafing him could try, because i cant (as you can see in my 55's lmao)

SpiderWaffle · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2007, 12:24:00 am »

You need to get at least two guards at the safe door.

You should shot the box at the corner if anything so you do not have to run around it.

Comet · « **Reply #18 on:** April 17, 2007, 12:36:00 am »

You can't shoot while talking to Mishkin as you will fail

RWG · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2007, 12:41:00 am »

mishkin stops talking when he's outside of that room. Trust me Ive tried :P

Infected Mind · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2007, 12:43:00 am »

you can shoot talking to mishkin, just as long as the bullet doesnt go by him. IE; if hes behind you, you can fire facing away from him as much as u want.

bcks · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2007, 07:35:00 am »

So i can't fucking spell. At least its something i can work on, just ignore my posts if you can't read them.

If nobody wants to talk about facility, then screw it i guess. People have noticed its not all the same amount of time between his messages in the past, and im sure it will be brought up again, someday....

DrugAgainstAngst · « **Reply #25 on:** April 17, 2007, 01:51:00 pm »

It just binds me how somebody can spell "between" as "bettewn" , but not only that, but you did it twice, in one sentence!

RWG · « **Reply #26 on:** April 17, 2007, 03:44:00 pm »

It was actually two sentences :rollin

DrugAgainstAngst · « **Reply #27 on:** April 17, 2007, 03:46:00 pm »

Not really, because the "2nd sentence" was incomplete and thus isnt rendered a true sentence.

SimThreat · « **Reply #28 on:** April 17, 2007, 04:54:00 pm »

But he didnt do it twice in one sentence.

DrugAgainstAngst · « **Reply #29 on:** April 17, 2007, 08:11:00 pm »

That is true ^. I realized that after, but whatever.

Thiradell · « **Reply #30 on:** April 17, 2007, 08:33:00 pm »

And here we have an excellent example of straying away from the topic.

I like how the guard opens that first door on the frigate like one in a million times and I was on 007 mode.

And if you get hit in this game at least they say it over again instead of saying 'are you alright' THEN saying over again. It would be salt in the wound.

SpiderWaffle · « **Reply #33 on:** April 21, 2007, 03:19:00 am »

huh?

Get some guards to pile up by the safe and find a 60 second time saver for the total time. Do it.

Wouter Jansen · « **Reply #34 on:** April 21, 2007, 04:37:00 am »

it would never save 60 / 2

Lovins · « **Reply #35 on:** April 21, 2007, 01:12:00 pm »

I really don't think it's possible for them to open the safe, I think someone said above, and I've also tried w/invisibility, w/multiple guards in there, and they would run directly at the safe door but still wouldn't open.

vitor · « **Reply #36 on:** April 21, 2007, 02:36:00 pm »

An insane timesaver will be found on Archives, someday. Perhaps "skipping" Mishkin's lines, or find a way to open the safe early, etc. It's one of those levels where you can find a retarded/weird timesaver which no one ever thought about.

Thiradell · « **Reply #37 on:** April 21, 2007, 04:31:00 pm »

Maybe, but certainly not guards opening the safe. Aztec at least makes sense (is he behind this glass door?), but not this (is he in this safe?).
