Rayman 2 speedrunning

[Hunchman801]

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

Well it's only a few seconds left now, maybe it won't take long after all.

Goal was to get a 32 but when you're this close to a 31 then it's bittersweet honestly, tysm @sobinist and @aullos for keeping me sane

There's definitely more than usual, but it seems to be different people submitting for each game.

Any% - PC in 01h 05m 44s by Torsinn - 1st place

After 4 months of practice, I finally got my first WR in this game! I'm very happy for now, but I will probably come back sooner or later to grind for a sweet sub 1:05

[DarnokPL]

Congratz to Torsinn! He has got quite conistent at two hard but important skips: Precipice 1 skip and "Jesus skip" in Iron Mountains 1 - both made with the use of lum boost glitch.
To indicate how difficult the skips are, I can say that they involve multiple very precise inputs, with no feedback from the screen - only with muscle memory and "in-mind" timer.

[Hunchman801]

Congratulations to Torsinn! I've seen his runs get closer and closer to the world record over the past few months, and here we finally are.

He has got quite conistent at two hard but important skips: Precipice 1 skip and "Jesus skip" in Iron Mountains 1 - both made with the use of lum boost glitch.

I don't believe you used any of these skips in your previous world record, do you have any plans to come back to the game with those new tricks?

[DarnokPL]

Heh, if I ever get consistent with those skips (at the moment I have maybe 10% consistency at Jesus skip, and I never got Precipice skip), then I come back for sure. I am sometimes practicing with those skips themselves, but they are hard.

I'm happy with this time for now the only timeloss was trolled collision at the bridge.

I'm never doing this IL again unless someone beats this time

[hoodlumsworld]

I think this is a better time than the one on the list of Rayman records, but it's hard to compare because we shouldn't use the in-game timer, should we?

[PluMGMK]

I don't know if the N64 timer is as stupidly misprogrammed as the PC one, but probably!

[DarnokPL]

Hmm, I am pretty sure the linked records list is outdated - and probably the newest run is faster. You should consider the speedrun.com leaderboard the only up to date.
I will try to look if the forum's records list can be somehow edited.

I think the only timeloss was iffy movement at the end but other a really good IL.

poor preparation led to an expectably poor run

Well, I must admit that page is probably a bit redundant with the speedrun.com leaderboards, and rather tedious to keep up to date. Moreover, the Rayman 2 section was built using the in-game timer, therefore all runs would have to be retimed, though this might prove hard because only two of them have linked videos.

No OoB - PC in 01h 41m 09s 300ms by Torsinn - 1st place

Submitted: 06/03/2022
Platform: PC

I WON BY A LOT (at least 1 frame, sorry Brobey :p)

This run is trash, but at least I used all the stuff I wanted to do!
Basically, NOoB (No Out of Bounds) is a category close to glitchless, but where a few glitches are useful:
- Airswim in FG1
- Tornado Skip in FG5
- Orb skip in Stone & Fire

I didn't use them but you could also do some void glitches, and IBG in EC2 for example.

[hoodlumsworld]

I like the idea of this No OoB category, it has the advantages of glitchless but it's a bit more fun. Airswim is almost some sort of OoB however.

Died twice on Bayou, failed lum boost axel skip and had to recover on Cave of Bad Dreams OOBS, but I'm happy with this run especially getting tornado skip skip, Water and Ice slide skip, and Cave of Bad Dreams OOBS in a run.

I get your point in that it's the most game-breaking of the non-OOB glitches, I suppose.
