Heyy

I made this thread if anyone wants to post shortcuts, bugs, glitches, new strats or something else speedrun-related stuff.

My youtube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDumGiJCL49h3JyEpuyHSiJ8vn_H1EQVt includes some IL speedruns (played on PC) if anyone's interested. I follow mostly the Original Lego Star Wars speedrun routes (in speed demos archive) but there's a couple of new shortcuts and stuff. I'll try to have the motivation to make videos of all the remaining chapters but I hope these will be helpful to any speedrunners :) Edit: I've speedran all the chapters

EDIT2: I annotated all the videos in that playlist, I hope they'll make my in-game decisions clearer :)

Hey smkurki, nice job on the runs!

I put up an IL leaderboard just a few minutes ago so be sure to submit these there for people who don't check the forums.

As far as tricks, while this is only useful for 100% and Free Play ILs it should still be mentioned.

If you change characters in Free Play the moment after using a Super Jedi Slam it can effectively grant you a third jump which can be used for either height or distance. I'll update this post once I can upload a video of it. It works best with Grievous in my experience because he has a high jump and a Jedi Slam but he is also marginally slower so RTA tests need to happen to see how much time the extra jump height can save and if it's worth it.

Wow thanks man! Although I timed my runs differently (started the timer when gained control of the character and stopped it when lost control) so should I make new videos of them? But seriously, thank you for these new categories! :D

If it wouldn't be too much of a burden a retiming under the rules would be great :)

Ok, I'll re-time and submit the runs when I get home. And I'll make better runs in the future instead of these crappy ones :D

I found a cool glitch in ep. 1 chapter 3: It's kinda easy and saves like two seconds or smthing lol Works at least on PC

Level 4-2 is a giant skip in itself ------

@Dveon: No, using codes is against the rules for any game in speedrunning.

@HeyItsBentley: Here's some skips that use triple jumping ------

@Poshact wow I never knew about those skips, so cool :O

For Any% do we have to finish every level in every chapter or just finish the chapter?

You have to finish ever level in every chapter. All 36 levels have to be done from start to finish.

:(

So you can not continue the level unless you get all 3 wookies?

You can, this is only a funny thing you can do :D

I hope this won't happen during an actual speedrun :O

Just wanted to ask if triple jumping (jedi slam, then instant switch) still works in Complete Saga. I tried earlier and couldn't get it to work. I'm playing a 360 disc copy on an Xbox One, so I'm just wondering if I need to practise more or if it's been patched.

EDIT: I forgot to add: that jump glitch in 1-3 that SMKurki posted ages ago DOES work on 360. It's a pain, but it works.

Huh. I had never thought of using the turret like that.

I've managed a few times to get it just so so that the bomb actually pushes me with it to the other side of the room during the cutscene, skipping all walking time, but it's horribly inconsistent and I have no idea how to make it work reliably. I think it has something to do with leaving/entering the room with the spinner right as the bomb is leaving and starting the cutscene.

Good find, though. Very useful until someone can figure out how to do the full skip reliably. I'll try to get a video of it some time to show what I mean.

I just found a way to skip the second energy barrier in 2-5. I destroyed the right hand generator then did a bunch of weird maneuvers and flips around the second rock to manipulate my spawn so it put where I could just fly past the barrier and hit the loading zone.

I need to practise more to figure out how I did it. I will provide video as soon as I am capable.

I just broke vehicle levels. Video incoming soon.
