This is my strat for hardcore console. Boss died in 1:20 ish seconds and he didn't grab the giant pillar. I loaded a practice save requires 6 grenades which is possible to have, just hard. I can do this over and over again. Occasionally some bad rng will occur, but mostly he does what I want him to do. This example could have been a few seconds faster I did make a small mistake. Note my grenade throwing technique. No idea if anyone has a faster strat, just trying to share what I've come up with.
I may be able to give some insight into this. He is probably recording on his console like I do. If he is, he is most likely using share factory, a ps4 console app, to render and upload his videos. I have been using it for years and I have had this exact thing happen to me before. I cannot say for certain that sharefactory causes it, but I believe it to be so. Us console guys have it rough when it comes to recording man. Some of us don't have pcs and consoles just saying.
Awesome thanks alot! Glad to be here. I am totally cool with being in the same category as PC players. Honestly I don't see many people speed running this on console because of how difficult it is with a controller. However did you happen to see what I said about the final stage Sunpu Castle? There is the short run and the full run. It would be cool for that stage to have 2 categories or whatever we would call them. Just my opinion.
About in game time. As far as I know this game is based off of it for sure. Another thing about console when you hold R1 and R2 to select characters or quickly swap items time stops during that brief moment. I try to do it as little as possible, but its an absolute necessity for linking and unlinking the characters.
Hi guys. I just submitted some speedruns and I made an error during one of them. The speedrun is 1:58, but I mistakenly submitted 1:57. The video of my run shows the 1:58 at the end screen, so was wondering should I resubmit it with the correct time or will the video proof be enough to correct my mistake for me?
Thanks ya I did throw a quick post there yesterday. Seems pretty quiet over there not many runners.
Hello you can call me Dust. Im really glad to have finally joined the speedrunning community. Been thinking about it for a while now. I am here to submit my speedruns for Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. First I would like to share a bit about me and speedrunning.
I wouldn't call myself a speedrunner. I have only played around with it a few times for fun. It all started with Resident Evil Revelations Raid Mode about 7 years ago. Specifically the final stage Ghost Ship full trinity run. A friend and I played constantly and one day we realised we were so good we started speeding it. World record was on PC around 21 minutes duo, and I believe 27 minutes solo. We were hitting around 25 minutes, and my solo record was 29 minutes solo. Just under 30. We played on console which gave us a huge disadvantage for one reason. Aim sensitivity. PC users can aim and get around much quicker than us, as console sensitivity max was locked, and it was pretty slow. The impact on speed was tremendous. We may have had some WR's for the console version at the time, but we didnt care we were just doing it for fun.
Anyways 7 years later I started practicing speedruns for Shadow Tactics. Just recently I finally finished my final level after so much grind. Man it was painful but so worth it. Felt so good seeing the endscreen of that last most difficult stage. I have all 13 levels uploaded on my youtube channel ready for view. Again I play on console, so I am at a mass disadvantage compared to the PC player, however I feel my times are very impressive considering. There are many tricks on PC that are literally impossible to do on console. Even so I still want to submit my times.
One final thing. On stage 13 there are 2 ways to go about the mission. One strat is a cheese that ends the mission in about 2:20. I didn't do that. My version is the full mission in 16:28. I firmly believe this mission should have 2 categories. Full run and short. If a full run category becomes a thing I may have a current world record as I have not found anyone else do it faster. It would be short lived though as the PC players would crush it.
If you read this far thank you for your time. If you want to see my speedruns let me know!
