Also got two other paces over 20s ahead of this run halfway through the game just after, consistency is building !
I never realized how much time can be lost because of that level's randomness. RIP 13 seconds to spare.Torcnein wrote:WR pace into Crow's Nest but RNG decided otherwise :/ Got RTA WR and subhour SOB I guess :p

Also figured out how to get LiveSplit to show loadless times.
[Mod's note: fixed the time - as the timing ends on the last frame of the last map]
It would definitely help if there were a way of controlling the position of the energy sphere through RNG manipulation.hoodlumsworld wrote: Wed Dec 28, 2022 12:32 pm I never realized how much time can be lost because of that level's randomness. RIP 13 seconds to spare.

Payman wrote:This was a near flawless run of Canopy, the first section was good enough to continue. The second section was really good but I forgot to split after the cutscene. As for the third section it was the best I could ask for in this IL attempt.
Payman wrote:The first section was pretty good with optimizing my lines. The second section was also really good but weird with how the pirate fight turned out while lum collecting. The last section's ending was mediocre since I did not get the cage early strat and the pirate fight was slow.
Payman wrote:This attempt was alright for what I could do to optimize this level without lum collecting. The first section could've been slightly faster with the lum boost. The second section was great especially skipping the two ledge grabs before the pirate. The final section was alright with optimizing the long helicopter descent and the pirate fight ending.
Payman wrote:Now for this boring level, the first section was good for what could be optimized during the autoscroller. The second section was bad since I bonked my head on a ceiling and had to slow down to avoid a lava bath. As for the Foutch fight it was also bad since I got damaged in the stupidest of ways which made roll boosting harder for me.
Payman wrote:This was much better than the any% IL, I think the only way to really beat this time is to do the inconsistent Foutch skip. The first section was really good especially the first cage break. The second section was also good with the roll boost after the 2 cages near the end. Finally, the Foutch fight was basically the best I could ask for since I got really good roll boost lineups.
Payman wrote:Last time I did IL attempts on this level I accidentally cheated by having gold gloves before entering the level, and now this attempt is to make amends for unknowingly cheating. The first two slide sections were really fast and good. The third section could've been faster if I did better decision making on the pirate. The fourth section was good for optimizing the flying shell lines to the loading zone.
Payman wrote:This is one of the hardest levels to have a really good IL time. The first section was as good as I was hoping it would be. The second section was okay but the backwards jumping was slow and I had to do an extra loop around the loading zone for a lum. Once again on the third section I made bad decision making on the pirate fight but the lum collecting was good at least. The fourth section was straightforward and I got the remaining lums while optimizing my lines
Payman wrote:This time happened way faster than I thought it would and was near perfect. The first phase of the final boss was really good with manipulating the Grolgoth and getting the cutscene skip without pause buffering. As for the second phase I got good RNG with the bullets, however, I did not get fast kill to skip a cycle of the Grolgoth going into the lava. One day I will grind for sub 1:30 on this level, but right now I'm happy I finally completed every single IL speedrun in Rayman 2 N64. One day I will improve these levels individually but for now I need a break from IL speedrunning.

Payman wrote:Aside from a dumb death in Bayou my early game was pretty good especially finally incorporating Bayou GLM. Mid game was okay but a little slow in certain levels, but most of the tricks and glitches were good. Late game was also decent, except for Echoing Caves which had a slow beginning, and Precipice since I died on the 2nd section. Finally, end game was once again mediocre Iron Mountains I died doing Iron Mountains 1 skip and blew up on the robot chicken section, Prison Ship I did some safe strats and had a bad pirate fight, and for Crow's Nest I failed the cutscene skip once because of bad Grolgoth Manipulation when the 2nd phase came the RNG was trash.

GG. 
Payman wrote:My early game was good except for Water and Ice. Mid game was alright but very shaky especially the backup strats I had to pull off. Late game was good, but I almost panicked real bad on Precipice 1 skip thankfully I kept calm and moved forward. Finally, end game was once again mediocre I lost about 30 seconds on Tomb of the Ancients, had a stupid mistake happen on Prision Ship, and got final boss cutscene skip 2nd try.
