Nah we don’t round the time we just don’t submit decimals. So whatever it is we just cut it off. 6:11.99999 is still 6:11 by these rules, but so is 6:11.00000

@@feargames4270 Hmm, I see. Thanks for the breakdown.

As cool as that would be, nah. All it does is patch the movement tech from black label onto ps3, and then fake “ship shack glitch” by setting all the ship upgrade prices to 5 raritanium. We didn’t bother with anything else as it does not affect the speedrun.

Hahahahah I hope it doesn’t take 12 one second pbs lol damnit

Thanks mate! Yeah early days of a grind with a new and hard route so I’ve just gotta take whatever happens for now. Goal is sub 6, which will take a bit of time for sure but it will be SICK

You could learn to beat this game in under 20 minutes in only a few hours if you wanted to :)

You’re too kind, thank you :)

Lap skip happens when you enter the first checkpoint of the lap for exactly one frame then leave it backwards again on the next frame. This way it keeps your lap progression at 1 instead of 0, so when you cross the line again it progresses the lap. Do it 3 times and you have a fast race. To get consistent really is just practise, but even then you will still just mess it up sometimes since it is hard. Proper guides for it are in the ratchet speedrunning discord

Thank you :) I’m glad you enjoy them!

In depth guide in the ratchet discord, but essentially be at a wall where its possible, face towards the gamera, hold down, press and quickly release L1, tap circle.

Personal preference, theres about 3 versions of dome clip which works on ps2, just whichever one feels best to you :)

you have to go to the arena for the electrolyzer, even tho you can you wont be able to continue on other planets

@@mengasketo253 thanks

We also don't actually need endako coordinates, which is what that would give us. As stated above we only need the electrolyser.

We are so back

Give me 5 years… we’ll see where it ends up hahahaha

The less we play the game the better, this is the speed runner way hahaha

Not at all, this run you watched is completely unmodded! Just an ntsc-u ps2 with a black label game. Completely stock standard!

@@feargames4270 thank you, I always wondered how speed runs worked ! Thats awesome skill you got 🙌🏼

No more gadgebots! Let’s go!

You hit the nail on the head there. Most runners have always preferred the movement of black label but that’s only ever been on ps2, and optimally, American ps2 only, so that’s not exactly accessible. This is more fun to play AND easier to access AND quicker to watch, win win win.

on ps3 you can change your resolution/aspect ratio, 4:3 480p reduces lag and therefore saves times :)

Nope you play the mod using the racman tool on real ps3 :) you can also use it on the emulator rcps3

@@feargames4270 how do you install the mod

Join the ratchet speedrunning discord and follow the RACMAN installation instructions. It’s one of the options under ratchet 2 patches :) I’ve added the link to the video description

@@feargames4270 is it free to join or make a account

Yep discord is free :)

Nah it’s a mod to the game whilst actually running on ps3. We use a tool called RaCMan which lets us read the games memory and send it from the ps3 to our computer, which in turn lets us do a few things, including reset quicker, quickly modify/setup files, save/load position for practise, and of course, unpatch the things they patched in greatest hits hahaha. This is all also possible go my knowledge with the ps3 emulator RCPS3, however this is not what I use. TLDR: I play on a real ps3, and to record it I use a capture card, and to run the mod I use a community made tool :)

@@victoralonso2787 There's no official movement guide, but anything you have seen from a playstation 2 runs can be performed on this version, and is the selling point of the mod

As Alex said, anything ps2 black label can do. It literally undoes the patch they did for red label/greatest hits to revert it, but on ps3 instead :) This means it includes: decoy/bomb glove tech, full height proxies, midair tech including midair charges, wrench swings, and decoys, neutral tech, spam charging, and I’m probably forgetting heaps lol.

@@feargames4270 that's nice

1. Have to own a hard drive if you mean that which only fat ps2s support 2. If you mean usb or opl, loads are worse than disc so obviously worse for speedrunning

@@feargames4270 Didn't you say that you are now only playing the ps3 black label mod? So why does ps2 even matter. Im just curious and wanting to understand

@@ZackSilver77 he bought the disc before the mod was made

Yep what isak said above. I bought the disc before the mod was used, I was simply saying I will not use it as a way to exemplify how much I prefer playing the ps3 bl mod version

I’m so keen hahaha I’ve done my first few runs but there’s an adjustment period. It will come :)

This is a modded version of the game that allows for the movement available on the NTSC Black Label PS2 version (and technically the PAL PS2 version but those are very bad for speedruns), while maintaining the benefits of the PS3 version (act tuning for bosses, fast loads). It is not an official release and currently, the runs are all displayed on the category extensions page, but this is subject to change in the future.

Anyone can download it from the ratchet speedrunning discord :)

We're SO back

This is what I thought when I was told it really exists lol

I agree 1000% with what you're saying. Rac2 was in a really tricky spot and this pretty much solves that IMO.
