Wisconsin, USATo my knowledge, it is not possible to do both the russia storyline and the prison storyline in one playthrough. One of them locks out the other. I guess you could define it however you want and run it and I wouldn't mind putting up a leader board for it.
what you do is you do a jump that touches a wall as you are rising ( a really simple place to do this is 1-5). You can push into a wall, hit jump and after you have cleared the wall you can do two more jumps after that. If you are still having trouble let me know and I can put together a quick demonstration video.
I have a vod of a super quick square skip that is even more ridiculous than getting the animation skip if you are interested:
I never even considered it, we should probably have different categories. Let me put some up.
Just finished, that was an amazing run, I can't believe you went for the skip on miss marble, it didn't seem consistent enough for a run. Very solid execution overall. I am super impressed.
Just started watching your run, I didn't even know you could early quit and restart!
Also I am little salty you beat out my Precision is Key time, I liked being 17 seconds ahead of everyone else.
Very cool stuff, I haven't taken a look at this game in quite a while and a lot of the levels have changed. The changes ended up making things easier (relaxing the amount of deaths you can have and still getting 4 medals, and some of the levels are shorter/easier now). I think you are right that 22 minutes is a real possibility. I look forward to seeing what you can do.
sure I wouldn't mind dumping out the knowledge I have. I will take a look at this when I get done with work.
I have been practicing the quick kill, it is pretty slick! Also I didn't know that you can grab annie after she gets up. I will hopefully get a decent run at some point.
I went to check out the rules for any% and was confused to see it specifically call out normal difficulty. I think that Easy is siginificantly faster, so I am wondering what the reason is for limiting any% to a specific difficulty.
Here is a vod of me doing the jump:
I managed to clip through a couple more times, but they were all slow ascension. Also I noticed you can climb down the right side of the stage like its a normal wall. I tried to make the jump to the door but it is about 4 blocks too short. Interesting stuff regardless.
Sweet fast ascension is possible over there! It looks like it will save around 15 seconds if done optimally.
My idea was to change the route and get the third triangle second, then go down get the triangle and use the clip. I also found out that if you clip out of the top, you can fall off the right side and get to the door as well, but then you have the problem of dealing with the gate to the left.
The jump you need to do is to make the gap to the right of where you ascend. It an incredibly hard jump that I can only get 1 in 50 tries. I will make a vod of it later.
I got the slow ascension again, argh!
For reference here is where I am trying to get it to happen: http://imgur.com/a/3YRfy
So I was able to get the glitch to happen right above the bottom door as I figured that might be a significant time save if you can end up zipping through the floor to the top and skip walking around. I got the slow ascension twice and that one takes around 40 seconds to get through the ceiling. I estimate that walking to the same spot takes 30 seconds even when executed poorly so the slow ascension is out as a possibility. I did manage to get a fast ascension on the same corner that you demoed and I think that might actually save significant time.
I got it to happen on an online version and in a normal corner too!
If this can be made consistent somehow it would save a good chunk of time.
