Rayman 2 speedrunning

[Hunchman801]

This Fairy Glade 100% IL is a really interesting one, because it would be technically infeasible without the glitch that allows for early access to the Echoing Caves. Well done Darnok.

Quite nice (expect the ending).

[Hunchman801]

And the series continues. It's good to see the F8 slowdown technique you described earlier used twice in the Canopy.

I think there's only like at least 5 seconds of improvement but still overall good for my first IL

[hoodlumsworld]

Very good run from Payman, I compared the segments with Darnok_PL's run in the previous post and it's even faster! Of course, the time is longer because you can't skip custscenes on N64...

Good level except for that missed damage animation skip.

[hoodlumsworld]

First... until Darnok_PL plays them too?

[DarnokPL]

Heh, we will see. I didn't play those 100% ILs as those are exactly the same as segments in my Any% run.

The biggest timeloss was to not immediately skip the last cutscene because the autosplitter already stopped lol (I hope I retimed it right)

1st section was good, lost about 1 second on the 2nd section, 3rd section was okay but could've been faster had I got better RNG, and the last section was decent.

[hoodlumsworld]

Heh, we will see. I didn't play those 100% ILs as those are exactly the same as segments in my Any% run.

You mean the full run right? Because I saw no entries from you for Any% ILs of the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava and the Top of the World.

[DarnokPL]

Yes, I've meant a full-game Any% run - many of the levels are played with all lums, because I need them - therefore I didn't feel like replaying the same levels as 100% ILs.

First section was near flawless, while the second section I missed some roll boosts and took damage from the squeaky pirate but got roll bayoust.

Really good first section but almost died to purple lum skip, second section was okay but I missed some roll boosts due to lag frames.

Could you not submit those sections as ILs?

[DarnokPL]

Hmm, as long they do not take any advantage from being played in a full-game run (like having golden fist), they should be fine. However, segments in my full-game do not have to be perfect - like they would in an IL run.

This IL was pretty good aside from the timeloss
from a bad line in section 3 when going for the gold gloves

That was insane, 2 deaths on Prison Ship but I'm very happy with this run

[hoodlumsworld]

A new world record, three years after the previous one! And almost four minutes shorter, that's great. Congratulations Lannreid!

[Hunchman801]

Glad to see the PlayStation version getting some love, it's a pretty awesome one. And well done indeed.

That's a pretty impressive time, but the missing 1:34 to beat Darnok_PL's record won't be easy to find.
