I just submitted my Any% run attempt a little bit ago and was planning on doing a run without using the Black Thunder screen. Is anyone else doing this? I only see one attempt on the board... I was also thinking of doing something like an All Rooms, or High Score run, but see no category for those yet...
Nothing against it, it's just a daunting task. I tried to on stream once- the problem is it's such a long and unforgiving game. I'd love to see it, but the score resets if you die and if you're not prepared, there are lots of traps that can softlock/end the run. Also just a random bug can end it.
All rooms is an interesting one- do you include the non-essential rooms, including the all-blue-beams-glitched room?
The highest score I've been able to get is 12784(although not trying to go fast...). The only rooms I entered without full health were the three rooms after Puzzle Room(The Pits, Torture Chamber, and Take 6). I can consistently get to the Jaws room without damage when I am just focusing on the game(not streaming). Jaws often takes me multiple tries, but Take 5 is right before it so I just heal and try again. I'll record a run at some point even if the category isn't made.
For the All Rooms run I was thinking it would be all the proper rooms(including Black Thunder, Starry Starry Night, Timeless Void, etc), but the glitch screen isn't one I think of as a real room(no non-glitch way to enter, no name, no points for getting there). The route I am planning to use for Any%(No Black Thunder Skip) still skips visiting a lot of rooms, so I thought a category that at least visits all the rooms would be nice too.
I tried doing the high score run, but messed up a little and only got 12731... Uploaded anyways at and submitted it to the leader board for Any%(No Black Thunder Skip) since it was faster than the existing first place run there. I'll do a faster run later without trying for score and hitting all the rooms.
What is your strategy for Air-Locked / Mission Control? I always get stuck there on long runs. Even if I get the frame-perfect-ish button jab, I can't get back to the ground in time and you only have one shot at it
I jump to the left side and turn to the right so I don't stick, then after bobbing up and down and touching the top of that little area, Spidey flips upside down to be perfectly lined up 100% of the time to stick a web and pull down to get out. You can watch the video to see me doing it.
lul I watched the video and still didn't understand. Might try a run of my own sometime today anyway. I don't think I ever made it onto that board
I am going to stream myself going through the game and talking about it on Saturday at sometime at twitch.tv/coldiron1977 since a friend of mine was interested in the game. You can stop by too if you want to watch and talk about it too.
Stream starting in about an hour. I just got done with a rough Any%(No Black Thunder Skip) run that I am getting ready to submit before starting the stream.
https://www.twitch.tv/coldiron1977/clip/BumblingBoldChowderCopyThis-GCTMAG6d_miTzk8u I cannot figure out the key press combo to imitate this. How to crouch sideways midair and clip through that surface.
A keyboard input would be a nice addition to future streams :-) https://www.technipages.com/linux-mint-enable-on-screen-keyboard
EDIT: Okay- here's what I've got: UP + LEFT - to start jump UP + SPACE - shoot web up and face up ??? - clip into building
The input sequence that I use is as follows:
UP+LEFT - to start jump UP+LEFT+SPACE - to shoot first web putting Spidey into a ball RIGHT+SPACE - to straighten out sideways and shoot second web to clip
ie: start pressing: UP+LEFT --jump starts-- start pressing: SPACE --web shoots-- stop pressing: UP+LEFT start pressing: RIGHT --web shoots-- --Clipping should start--
hope this helps? I'll try to set up a split timer and keyboard thingy for my next stream.
Yeah, using the numpad makes movement a LOT easier in the game. I tried it on my system and Spidey doesn't want to shoot web in any diagonal other than up-right if I use the non-numpad directional keys... I suspect space get ghosted on many keyboard by the directional keys... Ghosting keys is a very annoying problem for games especially on the cheaper keyboards.
