I'm thinking about getting into any%. Who's run would be the best to use for reference? I've watched a lot of speedwerd's runs, but he doesn't do any% w/ glitches. please provide a link to videos of glitches, if possible. Thanks.
Watch the current WR run by Otonyshi, he explains a bunch of stuff about the glitches. Also the thread here https://www.speedrun.com/Chulip/thread/blm4m has some explanations on the glitches found recently.
Thanks. May I ask, what’s early Suzuki? I’ve looked around for information about it, but haven’t found anything.
Early Suzuki is going out of bounds and talking to Suzuki from there so he can fix the traffic lights without having to wait for him to open at 1pm. You perform it by getting a Cicada from a trash can (which isn't very common), performing a kiss buffer with Michelle, and using her stored text to get out of bounds. You perform a kiss buffer by pressing square and triangle at the same time while within range of a kissable NPC, and then eating a damage-dealing item (the only viable option for Early Suzuki is a Cicada, since getting a Frog would waste too much time to be worth it).
I wouldn't suggest that a new runner starts doing it right from the start. It's not too difficult to learn, but the Cicada RNG can be really reset-heavy. I might make a video at some point demonstrating it, since getting to and from Suzuki while OoB is pretty specific.
Outside of using a kiss buffer to get text storage, there's nothing else I can think of for Any%. The record has all the currently known skips except for Early Suzuki, which are hitting an out of bounds developer trigger in Worldly Desire Temple, and reaching the vault room out of bounds in Funny Bone City.
