New to speedrunning, and really only stumbled across this site tying to drop my own personal best on Resident Evil 2 to a -1:15:00 lol. No aspirations of claiming any WR's, its just that RE2 is my all-time favorite game, and I want to manage a sub 1:20:00 at least (I'm realizing quickly I lose alot of time using item boxes...like a total novice! Lol).
Anyways, glad to be here and hope to make some new friends as passionate about RE as I am! Cheers! :)
Hello! :) I'll check out your run! Hope to see you around the site! Friends are the best. :O I'm sure you'll find many here, I sure have.
Thanks guys! I'm very excited to start learning tactics to improve my times (as I said, solely to improve my own times as I have no intentions of going for a WR run lol). Is there perhaps a thread or poat here yall could direct me to that has common tips for beginners running RE2? I'm learning quick shots, quick Gator glitch, Ada/Annette handgun cutscene, and quick inventory. Is there perhaps a compendium containing more info? Thanks in advance!
Well it looks like you found the RE2 forums. :3
But have you checked the guides or other resources on the game's page?
If nothing useful is there, check to see if there is a discord you can join for RE2 runners where you can ask questions directly to other runners.
Good luck and hope you improve your times!
Thanks very much JayJane4! :)
And yes I found the forums, and there's a few helpful tips to be found there. I'm still looking for info as to what system I should be using for the DualShock US version if I want optimum performance (i.e. load times, etc). This site is so awesome and the players are so skillful, I'm glad I finally got over the intimidation factor and dove in!
Hey JayJane4, I joined discord but can't find anything on RE2. How do I look up ppl talking about RE games?
