Additional details:Hey_Jase wrote:Extremely happy with this run! Beating my previous PB by a significant amount of time again. Had a few golds in there, and a pretty clean run throughout, apart from almost dying on gong heights, a pretty poor space mama fight, 6th try 50/50 cage and a couple other mistakes here and there. My long term goal of sub [1:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rISCQ2k0ZtQ&t=80s) isn't looking too far away now! Especially if i'm able to get allegro clip and an early 50/50 cage

Every time I hear what 100% is, I conveniently end up forgetting.

Re: Rayman 1 speedrunning
Why? It's just a regular run, right?

Re: Rayman 1 speedrunning
There’s both Any% and 100%, and I recall there being some sort of difference.

Re: Rayman 1 speedrunning
Any% allows a newly found game-breaking menuing glitch. 100% used to be called Any% before that, so yeah, it's essentially a regular run.

12th is still good considering how much competition there is nowadays, Jase!

Re: Rayman 1 speedrunning
Wow, I didn't realize there were even movement bugs on the ground
I knew about the "passing up through sloped surfaces" one though, since Chacanger turned it into a game mechanic in their maps…

This beat my previous pb by 25 seconds and that's without allegro clip. Extremely good run throughout, just a couple mistakes in the run including the unfortunate death in eat at joe's, but i am very very pleased with this run. SUB [1:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5INw_fdOK0&t=80s) SOON!

Re: Rayman 1 speedrunning
Even if it's only Sax%, it still means PinguinStyles had to play Allegro Presto with no sliding tiles. 
I wouldn't even try.
