Rayman Pirate-Community

Okay, thanks DarnokPL. I'm glad you don't have too. Have you been working on your Rayman 2 glitches 2022 compilation?

I am listing glitches for the compilation (I aim to have a new glitch for each level)... but finding time to makes a video is hard - expect the movie at X-mas (that's when I ...

2nd place is pretty nice. Is it possible to do IL's for Dreamcast and also, do you need to collect a certain amount of lums when you do IL's for this game in general?

Hey, for Any% ILs we don't collect lums at all - so, it is the only chance to make a run without any lums and fully fucus on the ...

Beginners' route involves playing a hard skip - Early Echoing Caves - earlier, so that if you fail it, the run you lose is not that progressed yet. However, this route is about 15s slower...

Yes, Jesus skip is the skip of Iron Mountains 1 - with lum boost and water walking.

Hmm, I am pretty sure the linked records list is outdated - and probably the newest run is faster. You should consider the speedrun.com leaderboard the only up to date.
I will try to look if the forum's records list can be somehow edited.

Heh, if I ever get consistent with those skips (at the moment I have maybe 10% consistency at Jesus skip, and I never got Precipice skip), then I come back for sure. I am sometimes practicing with those skips themselves, but they are hard.

Congratz to Torsinn! He has got quite conistent at two hard but important skips: Precipice 1 skip and "Jesus skip" in Iron Mountains 1 - both made with the use of lum boost glitch.
To indicate how difficult the skips are, I can say that they involve multiple very precise inputs, with no feedback ...

Hmm, as long they do not take any advantage from being played in a full-game run (like having golden fist), they should be fine. However, segments in my full-game do not have to be perfect - like they would in an IL run.

Yes, I've meant a full-game Any% run - many of the levels are played with all lums, because I need them - therefore I didn't feel like replaying the same levels as 100% ILs.

Heh, we will see. I didn't play those 100% ILs as those are exactly the same as segments in my Any% run.

In some levels in could also skip waiting for Teensie - by deathwarping, level the room, etc. - but not in this level. ;)

Can you give me an example? I'm not sure how this would work.

Well, in my Any% run I use it in Echoing Caves (that's why I die right after destroying the final cage) and ...

Yes, as you mentioned - and additionally because there was apparently no Any% IL for Whale Bay yet. ;)

Yeah, after practising those air swims you might as well put them to use for more. Also, I guess you're heading to that last cage first because waiting for the Teensie gives you time to get ...

GG Torcnein on the great progress too.

Yes, as you mentioned - and additionally because there was apparently no Any% IL for Whale Bay yet.

Coriolis, but apparently affecting 1 out of 2 switches only.

GG Darnok, I can't wait to see the Iron Mountains too. 👌

There you have it! Man, I would really hate to speedrun the first part of this level with the switches on the hexagonal platform, it always takes me ages to disable that electric ray. :fou2:

Yes, one of the switches is clearly broken ...

Well done Darnok! This IL run of yours illustrates pretty well what you said about 100% glitchless since you're pretty much taking shortcuts for every secret room there is. I can't say I'd find 100% glitchless painful though, since it's my favorite level, but I must admit it would be way too long ...

Well, 100% Glitchless would be probably too long... And some levels - like for instance Stone & Fire - are quite uncomfortable to play without any glitches.
It is the same issue as in other games probably - limiting the categories to Any%, Any% Glitchless (or similar) and regular 100% (with ...

Heh, in 100% speedruns I don't really reset that much - as those runs are already too long to make them multiple times. Also it is hard to say, what major timelosses are - probably Prison Ship actually, but there are many places/tricks which can just randomly go wrong - in entire run.

Actually ...

Yeah, I remember my practice sessions for my 100% runs - and I think that Prison Ship itself took about half of the time spend for entire practice. But it is nice to see this "impossible level" available in one go (I still remember great runners - like KirbyComment or Manocheese - trying to get all ...
