  • World Record as of March 20th, 2018. Really happy with this run.
    The exact timing is 5:08.566 - timed from the first frame upon gaining control of Richter, to the first frame the white screen flashes after Shaft dies.

    Richter’s moves are not exactly easy to chain together for minutes on end like that. Watching these runs is like the scene in an anime where the protagonist realizes there is a whole new level of power beyond his own. My skills are lacking .

  • @kraken5003
    @kraken5003 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    why do people play the 360 version (and on an actual 360 instead of xbox one) of many of these classic games all the time
    i get that it's a port/emulastion of the ps1 game and has none of the load times, while the ps4 version is slightly different with an extra boss fight and such
    but i also see this with Mega man 9 and 10, and other games.. why are they not played on current consoles when available?

    • @BenAuton
      @BenAuton  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Xbox One isn't any faster - in fact, it may actually be slightly slower... although I'm not 100% sure on that. Basically, the Xbox One just uses some emulation to play the Xbox 360 version. So yes, it is an emulator of an emulator more or less. The Xbox One suffers from more input delay as a result of this.

    Do you have a tutorial for the glitch at 3:00?

    • @BenAuton
      @BenAuton  5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      No, unfortunately not. In speedrun attempts I "setup" the trick with that dash attack off of the staircase, holding left the whole time while he is falling down to the ground. That gets Richter into a good position, and also makes him suffer a long (relatively) landing animation. During that landing animation, and starting from holding left still, I basically do a full clockwise circle input on the d-pad pressing jump when the circle motion reaches down-right, which causes slide to come out. Then after completing the circle motion back to left, I press the attack input which will perform the dash attack.
      So, basically the goal is to perform a smooth combination input during the time that you are locked in place with the fall animation - which ensures that you do not alter your initial positioning by moving left/right. It doesn't have to be done extremely fast because as you wrap down to the crouching parts of the 360 motion you will not be moving (before the slide), as you cannot walk/run while crouched. It just has to be done fast enough for A). Getting into crouch before breaking out of being locked in place by the fall animation, and B). Before the dash attack execution window expires. Meaning, after you press UP in the 360, you have 21 frames to then complete the dash attack input. This means about 1/3rd of a second as the game runs at 60fps.
      The timing for the attack input is precise. It is a 1-2 frame input. Note that the 360 motion also serves as a timing mechanism for when to press the input - practice is required to get a feel for it. Also, there is variance regarding whether or not it will be a 1 or 2 frame window, which is determined by the exact pixel position you start from. I believe it is more common for it to be a 1 frame window, but performing the trick in the general positioning you get from the "setup" mentioned above ensures that it has a chance to work at all, consistently. I have had big streaks of first try success with the skip using the method I have explained (8+ times in a row).
      I hope this helps.

      Think them STUBORN knights in the clock area but DON'T use special attacks like the acid fog to defeat them, got a feeling no matter what you WONT get the god robe if you don't use standard attacks to defeat them but using that item that allows for extreme fire health recovery head gear makes that easy.
