I worked it out, had to reinstall game. Thanks, Can close this.

I'm trying to get controller set up for TWN version and having bad luck. After I enter the button inputs and click okay the game closes and doesn't save the inputs. Any idea why this happens? Never had this problem on JPN PC version.

I am also looking to get Taiwanese version of game if anyone wouldn't mind helping, thanks

Edit: NVM I found it

^ SPLICED

lol but nah seriously, damn. Maybe just gamecube version? and if not then damn, I guess it just so happened to line up that way over 13+ times in a row lol. Crazy

I posted something I discovered recently, I made a tweet about it on Carcinogen's twitter:

Thoughts?

I got it now, gotta hold right/down+right as soon as you aim.

So for G3 when I run up and aim to take out first phase of final birkin auto aim just DOESN'T work and Leon completely aims the other way to the left and no clue how to fix it and why it happens. Anyone know? REALLY would appreciate it lol.

Yeah I know how to mash, I usually mash aim and quickspin my analog stick, but I mash super fast and never got the bugs off that quick, but that was me mashing as soon as they are in the biting animation, I was curious how to prevent even the biting animation where you shrug them off IMMEDIATELY. Like I assumed I'm guessing it's mashing JUST before they start to bite?

I've seen it used in the current Leon A World Record, where as soon as the bugs start trying to attack Leon they IMMEDIATELY get shrugged off. Never knew about this before, is there a special way to do it? Help is greatly appreciated guys thanks.

Edit: So I got it once and I'm pretty sure you just shake joystick in anticipation of the attack almost JUST before they bite/damage you. Wanna just 100% confirm this is how to do it. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the fast and helpful replies guys!

So I know the trick where if you unequip the gun as Ada for the Annette cutscene you actually save time in versions where you watch cutscene. Mostly due to Ada not having to go and pick the gun back up. But I was curious, does this actually count for the GC version where you skip the cutscene overall? Does the cutscene itself still count? So unequipping gun still worth it even in GC version or no? I noticed current Leon A GC World Record unequips it, but figured you didn't have to.

Thanks Roofress that's pretty interesting stuff! So yeah I did a run today on GC that saved a ton of time but ended around the same a run usually would. I didn't notice any IGT differences or oddities really. So back to Wii and ended up getting a 1:07:54. So will just keep at it. That google doc is pretty interesting and useful! Been reading through it, thanks man :) I truly appreciate the help all.

Oh wow I had no idea, that's a HUGE relief. There is still some small stuff though like I noticed some loading scenes/stuff loads faster like the opening cutscene/text when starting a new game and some menu stuff. Will that factor in either? I think to be safe atm I'll still play on GC and see if I notice any results. When JP version shows up though I'll play on Wii. Thanks!

So I hooked up my Gamecube again and decided to do some testing. Very interesting, this time I did notice some substantial changes.

I did a practice run until I got a decent enough one that wasn't perfect but got the job done. Up to spade key I was about 10-11 seconds ahead of my PB with almost NO changes. Later by Chief Irons office I was 20 seconds ahead, then by the cogwheel room with licker I was over 25 seconds ahead. So yeah something must be wrong with my Wii and the laser reading the disc. I don't think my Gamecube is great or anything, I mean it's still pretty old, but the results speak for themselves. I guess I'll be running on Gamecube console from now on then. Although I literally just tonight ordered Japanese RE2 for gamecube tonight online and was planning to run it instead of English when I got it on my Wii with a region changer. But if my Wii is gonna give me that much of a RTA loss that most likely adds onto the IGT, no clue what I'll do. Might have to get a Japanese Gamecube? Any other ideas that I'm missing? Maybe Wii will read the JP disc better? Idk.

Anyone have any idea what setup most people use to run RE2 JP?

So recently I've been running Claire A on GCN, on my Wii for past week or so. I noticed when I started PB'ing and comparing to other runs on the leaderboards (most noticeably Jake Tabor's 1:07:27 run) that it seemed I was much slower than I should have been overall. Even though my run seemed to be not much different and even quite better at some parts. I finally started investigating and doing some serious comparing side by side and checking. Even at times letting Jake's run get ahead of mine and he would ALWAYS catch up and pull ahead of mine even though there was no difference.

I figured out that I am losing time on some loading/camera angles changes. When I am playing a lot of the time camera angle changes stall a sec or so for me before transitioning and my Wii makes sounds like it is loading. It isn't fluent at all and this is SUPER FRUSTRATING to lose time to something totally out of my control when I am deserved a much better time. I tried cleaning my game disc, I cleaned my Wii a bit, also making some room. This didn't seem to help at all. Any ideas at all would GREATLY be appreciated. I have a launch day Wii so it is rather old. Hoping that's not the problem because buying a whole new Wii just for a dumb issue like this is really offputting.

I know something like black Wii's are meant to run faster or something like that. I had the same issue I believe back in the day when I ran Leon A on GC and I tried using GC console itself instead of Wii to see if that fixed the problem but always there was no RTA time gain and I don't think it helped. Thank you.

It's over guys, I finally did it! The final parts of my Resident Evil 2 blindfolded run:

Part 9:

Part 10 (THE FINALE!)

Thanks for anyone who watched and supported. :) Final time was 3:43:31

Part 8 is done!

I just have the lab and I'm done the game! :)

Finished part 7 of the run tonight:

Only 3 more segments to do and I'm done! :) The lab/final Birkin fight should prove to be one of the biggest challenges yet....

I finished part 5 and part 6 of the blindfolded run today! Enjoy :)

Part 5:

Part 6:

Final up to the 1st boss of Leon A at the next segment! Then finally will be in sewers with Crocodile. It's pretty smooth sailing from here. The police station was easily the biggest hurdle of this entire run. I'm only worried about the lab now. There is just some stuff here and there, plus final Birkin boss fight of the game might be a nightmare.

Part 4 of Leon A blindfolded run is down!

Some stupid mistakes, but I barely practiced for this segment. Also sick recovers in the RPD safe room, and the basement with dogs.
