Rayman 2 Time attack competition

Post by IllarKallas »

Well i dont know if someone had already made this,but i think it would be cool to do this:

Rayman 2 Time Attack Competitions!

Ok,let me explain:

Requeriments:
-A screen recording program
-Some cronometer or something to see the time that has passed. (Or just calculate and put the final time in the end of the video)
-YouTube account or another video site to upload the video

Basics:
Go as fast as you can in a stage of the game,every damage taken will result in +2 seconds in the final time,a death will count in +7,example:
My final time in Iron mountains: 9:00 Minutes,damage taken 5 times,and i died 1 time, so my final time it's 9:17.
It's not neccesary to get the lums or break cages,that will not give you any advantage.

Rules:
-Do not edit the video to make it more fast,that will result in you being disqualified.
-You can edit the loading screens (getting them out of the video) because in other computers it may load slow.
-Do not edit cutscenes,just try to skip them as fast as you can.
-If you won the first stage,you will not be able to comp in the other one.
-One stage per week.
-If you win the entire season (most of the stages in the game) (Including bosses) the prize will be....Well i haven't thinked of one.

I don't know if the mods will let me do this competition,but if they do,the first stage it's:

The Fairy Glade

Soo...Let's begin.

PS: I hope the mods will let me do this thing.

I'm assuming this is The Great Escape on the N64/Dreamcast/PC, am I correct?

Why add time for a death if it generally adds time anyway? :| That is, except for some cases where you can jump ahead by pulling a green lum into you and dying, when you're below a high ledge, but that's beside the point.

Do you have to start without having the level played or is it allowed to use a 100% game (and power fist)?

This sounds kinda like that old contest from Rayman 3 when it was released. You had to make a screenshot of 3 different objects, one being the eiffel tower made of crates in Hoodlum Headquarters, and post them. You had to try and be the fastest.

I like this idea. If I can get my livestream to work with games, I would try and do it. We should also feature Rayman 3, I think.

I'd love to compete, but my rayman 2 game has weird laggy controls. A crackling sound will replace all the normal sound effects, and my button inputs happen 2-14 seconds after I press them.

I could use my epic hindsight skills to compete, but I'd only do a few levels, not the whole game, as most of the levels won't load for me (I have terrible scratches all throughout my Rayman 2 disc...makes me mad, as it was entirely other peoples mistreating of the disc that caused this).

Either way...

Sorry,but you need to do it in PC,but it's the N64 version almost the same?

also,sorry for not posting,my dad had to pay the internet.

phj,to answer your question,you gotta use a 0% complete game,not the full game because doing that should be unfair.
aaaand...Phoenixan,this it's for testing your skills.

I also have to say that when you have already submitted your speed run,you can't submit another.

N64 version is exactly the same.

I would say:

Allow only PC and N64 versions.

Ok,only PC and N64 version allowed.
ok,i have calculated ParadoxJuice time:

9:27 > damage taken 2 times = 9:31
Best speed run so far: ParadoxJuice.
Your time will be posted on the main page,it will be the best time until someone beats it or when the week ends.

One day left!!!

That wasn't my speedrun. That was just someone elses that I thought we should all see, as it shows some good tricks.
