Hi, I'm interested in picking this game up for speedrunning. I noticed under the guides section most of the content is either outdated, or incomplete(only 1/6 DutchJ videos exist)
Is there any source for more recent guides/tutorials? Thanks!
Let me just start by saying---I'm not 100% convinced the Mavs are the best team. I think it's likely we're missing some diamond in the ruff. However, if we stick with the Mavs, who are clearly a good team, I think it's high time we kick Michael Finley off the squad in favor of Nick Van Exel. Here are my reasons:
- Nick is, by far, a better shooter. Shots is the most important stat in the game for draining 2 pointers and always having a fastbreak opportunity. With Michael on the team, you're pretty much relying on just Dirk and Steve to do the scoring, which in some matchups may be difficult.
- The difference between Michael and Nick for rebounding/blocking are negligible, as this game is not a sim, it's an arcade game. Because of this, if you play smart you can still grab plenty of rebounds and block plenty of shots with both characters. Nick also is much faster, allowing for faster fast breaks.
Hey everyone! It's everyone's favorite inactive mod here! Just getting back into speedrunning and I want to start with one of my favorites, Street Vol. 2. What have people found to be effective teams to run with? I see newer runs going with Dallas which I thought was interesting. My first guess when creating the page was Lakers were defacto best team, but I'd love to hear opinions!
I've just gotten into speedrunning, and while grinding this game out and learning it, I also have been practicing some of the glitches. I think I have a grasp of Gelato, but Niko I am having trouble with. What setup do you guys use, and when do you hover in the air to not fall at the bottom of that blue abyss?
Thanks! ~Brandon
