Why is everyone running Sanct. of Stone & Fire? It's not SpeedRay anymore.
And what is "100% - Emulator"?

100% = finish the game with all 1000 Lums and all 80 familiar spirits.
Emulator = played on PS2 emulation software (e.g. PCSX2) instead of a real PS2 console.

Eric, any reason you're playing in Japanese? I know in some games the text scrolls faster but I don't know about Rayman 2.

I know some players chose Japanese in Resident Evil for that, but I digress.

Well the short anwser is you have less text to go through in cutscenes or when encountering Murphy in woods for example. So you spend less time on them then in other languages. I think in Woods alone you save like 8s or something. And of course throughout the entire hundo run it is even more. So quite a nice timesave. We just don't care about language on PC because there we can skip cutscenes and can just spam through any dialog box (in revo you can only speed them up). On N64 for example italien is the best language option you have.

So this is why! I never thought much of it but even as of 11 years ago all the WRs are in Italian. Not sure if that helps people learn the language tho...

"Italian with Rayman" doesn't exist in the educational games, so that's gotta be your best bet.
