"HD - Glitched"? That's just a regular Rayman 3 HD playthrough, right? :hap:

I’ve only touched it, never played with it, but Nintendo controllers are notoriously uncomfortable so I probably wouldn’t

It's LOTLD1, and yes it's pretty fast, but here Eric leverages a superjump to get an OOB and reach the section's exit almost straight away.

Its fast yeah. My plan was to beat the Level under a minute though. Sadly it turns out that this superjump is as fast as the old Piggy bank strat kinda. I guess just a tiny bit faster maybe.

There isn't really any in depth full tutorial, but there's still a few ressources to get you started.

There's a livestream VOD from Mark0v1c going through the Any% route while explaining various strats : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9X5CaIDvo4
I did a series of videos showing one exemple run for each world with input display, you can take a look, try the different strats and see which ones you can get comfortable with : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... _r-sBzF2J2

That's about all there really is that's up to date, I guess if you want to try more advanced stuff I also did an in depth tutorial for Rayman 4 skip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9soZXKnJp0M

I was thinking about uploading IL runs, but considering the low quality of this old run, I honestly don't have the motivation to retime every single one of them, so I'll just upload the ones for the Fairy Council. If I ever run this game again, I might submit better ones.
