Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
Well done, ShadowKnight28! Those versions don't see much activity. By the way, is the half-hour more for PS2 due to version differences or just run quality?
Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
The PS2 version runs at 30fps (interpolated to 60, but the engine runs at 30). This makes a lot of superjumps not work as well as just making the game feel worse in general.

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
Indeed, I just watched both runs back to back and there's a flurry of superjumps that are used on Xbox only and save a considerable amount of time compared to the PS2 version. I mean, HHQ is basically skip after skip in the former. It even feels that the ones used in both versions are much easier to get on Xbox, requiring a lot more tries on PS2. Overall, this is maybe what makes Rayman 3 a slightly less interesting game to run compared to others, as most of the time it's just about getting OOB and heading to the level exit.
Not that there aren't interesting aspects to it though, I especially like how there's so many ledge grabs that were not meant to be possible and yet they are (maybe there's a trick I'm not aware of here?), and overlooked stuff such as the possibility to swim in the marshes far enough to grab the flying hooks.

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
Xbox has the highest jumps in general, right? Like you can jump over the Knaaren between the two Zombie Chicken encounters in DOTK1.

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
It's still possible on PC because I tested it before, but it's slightly easier on Xbox. It's still not a walk in the park to properly make the jump though, so I assume most people would just try the back to the left wall method.

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
I did try on PC last month, and I think I came close, but those Knaaren's force fields are so evilly huge! By the time I was happy with it, my powerup had run out anyway

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
The same happened to me with the powerup running out, but I just wanted to figure out if it was possible out of curiosity.
What's funny is that it's not easy to do, but it looks so easy when it works (this is Xbox):

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
So ShadowKnight28 is basically getting first place for all categories on Xbox and PS2, lol. And congrats ItsRynTime for a good first run.

Congratulations, Carolina! If you keep beating your own record by two minutes each time, it won't take you long to beat Torcnein's time.

Re: Rayman 3 speedrunning
While I'm not entirely sure about that one last bit, there's definitely one or two minutes to save by getting the superjumps in TOTL much earlier. Speaking of which, there seems to be even more of them on GameCube than on Xbox, that or they're just much easier to get. I'm not really sure why.
Regardless, it was rather entertaining to watch Rayman 3 in Italian for the first time.

Mod note: Runner waited for the cutscene to end before continuing resulting in no time gain from accidentally triggering the glitch.

Just as you were complaining about OOB, no-major-glitch runs.
