GG for the new record, Darnok! You might have wasted 30 seconds, but you still saved almost a minute compared to your previous run and you reclaimed the first place, and that's really cool. :up:

This run was perfect (I don't know if I had any bigger mistakes). Half of the time loss was due to me not doing Iron Moutains 3 OoB skip, which saves 20s, but is scary (especially when your hands shake). ;)

You're on a roll, Darnok! Now that's over a minute and a half faster than the previous record (not counting the one you held for a day or two before beating it again :fou2:), congrats. :bigup:

Run done during the Rayman 2 community race. Considering that I wasn't allowed to use glitches, I'm fairly pleased with this run (Although lost a fair bit of time to stupid stuff)

Well, a blind race means that people are running a game that they don't know (or they haven't at least practiced speedrun strategies before). There were apparently many Rayman 1 gamers who are "bad" at Rayman 2.

My first glitchless run - made rather for fun (long before setting this category).

Old run but still very pleasant to watch! More than all the OOBs and other glitches, actually. :P
 
Yes :D As I find other categories "dead" at the moment - too hard to me to realisticly compete them, I came on idea of "returning to the roots". It seems that there are also more gamers interested in this kind of movemement-focused speedrun.
 
I'm definitely one of those people, so I'm thrilled to hear that you'll be playing more glitchless runs. I look forward to the next record now, where do you think are the biggest potential time saves?
 
Well, the glitchless run I made was my only attempt ever - and probably contained mistakes. Also I was not going for some skips, which are still possible/allowed in glitchless - mostly based on damage boost or movement mechanics. Getting sub 1h30m would look like a nice goal to me, but I have no clue, if it is realistic - glitchless is a baby category though. :)
 
It's a fun category is what it is! Have you started running it yet, or is it just a plan for now?
 
Hmm, I have started a research for lum route and allowed skips already (actually even glitchless has some skips!) - without even watching my old run, because it was a poor attempt, without preparation, not taken serious. :P
 
Nice, let us know when you have something to show us. And what are those glitchless skips you're talking about?
 
By 'glitchless skips' I have meant mostly skips related to tricks, which are not bugs - for example there are places where you can apply damage boosts (from enemies or their bullets) - this enables some skips in Bayou, Canopy and Stone & Fire. We also allow weird movement mechanics like backward jumping - so we can make Axel skip. Also a screenshot lag, which makes the range of bullets longer, is also allowed (it is not considered a major glitch) - so you can make a pole skip in Canopy. Maybe we find more stuff in the future. ;)
