Hey, GG to mr_sis and travistok new world records. I've some question about some tricks on the run (looking at travistok's run, dunno if mr_sis used it):

• In the second part of "La traversée" (after the introduction), the bird is not appearing on the first time u use the rock as trampoline. It always come for me (2:53 in WR)
• In the segment of "The pirée", there is a trick of jumping just before climb, and u don't fall too hard that save 4 seconds, which is enormous. i've tried for 15 minutes, and i don't find how to do that, il always jump on the platform just on the top (14:20 on the WR).

Hello,

• i think the bird does not appear, because i move to the left right after the rock tosses me up.

• try to jump later or try to hit the jump button just for a few frames, it is important to hit the jump button for not to long. i hold the gamepad different at this part. it is hard to press it for only a few frames if you use your thumb for both buttons (run and jump), i use my index finger to run and my thumb to jump and then after the jump at the ladder i change my handposition to normal again

• btw did you saw the new trick at 30:20, the additional jump after catapult, it gets used at "La Palais", too.

• i have a assumption, that at the level "La Palais", if you move to the right and damage boost up the wall, you could save a lot of time and the same for the left wall

P.S.: got a 30:41

Yes i've looked up the catapult! Going to look your new WR so :) i don't really understand ur assumption, but i think we can find somethink like glich with the trick u find. Cause i think the computer is lost with the thing that u're not allowed to moove cause ur using A longly but u have to moove cause u got catapulted. I think the perfect run would be only one death at "Camp du desert". Maybe it can offer sub 30

I think it would be possible to do this run deathless, but then it should be perfect execution and then sub 30 is possible, but for now i am satisfied with the run, unless someone beats it.

in the lvl „la palais“ on the first ladder, dont go down, go up and to the right, there is a wall and if you could gain height through a damage boost, you skip the part going down all the ladders

I see ur run, (in *2 this is strange when u come back to the game). That's sad u died at "Camp du desert" but this is really what i think could be a representative WR of this game!

I've tried ur assumption, but ... hum i think there will no rock which can let us go on the column. And this will be really RNG, so dunno.

I'll try to train a bit the run, will see what i can do :)

I think a sub 30 deathless is really possible. I'm not doing the "Pirée Jump", it will maybe harder for me, but with 2 death we are at 40 sec to 30, just need to improve 10 secs some things and this can be sub 30. I was thinking about bot RNG on Olympic games.I've the impression that faster u run, faster they run, not sure of it.

gratz on the run 1 sec off WR

at the olympic games its probably only 1-2 secs to RNG, not sure for me its not worth it so mash as hard as i can

another time save is the football game, if your reaction time is godlike, you do not have to pass the ball over gonna check how many frames you have time to react and how much time it saves

edit: if you do football game perfect without passing the ball over, you have around 8 secs, 1 sec per enemy player, there are 9 a bit safer strat would be to run through them when they jump, but when they just run, then try to pass the ball over, would be an average time save of 4 secs, if its 50-50

edit2: btw what emulator do you use? i use SNES9x 1.53

According to the TAS, the Olympic games are faster if you keep the other runners in the screen and win at the last second. Which, judging by the time at the end of each race, looks correct.

You can also check the time for the football game:

It also has a nice strat to take less damage at the beggining of Le Pirée which might help with the deathless run.

For emulators, I do have to recomend Retroarch using the core bsnes-mercury-accuracy. It is probably the most accurate emulator of all.

I will try to be active on the board and help as I can, but I can't run the game atm, unfortunately. Sorry about it.

I did try the damage boost to pass thru the wall in La Palais for quite some time. Can't say for sure as I didn't use frame by frame tests but it is quite easy to manipulate the egiptian to run back and hit you in the correct place, but you still don't get enough height.

The catapult glitch is awesome. I could not reproduce it tho, can you give a quick guide for it?

I think the dmg boost at la piree in the TAS is only possible in hard%, there are more enemies throwing stuff at you

and the catapult glitch, in the air you have to hold A for charging the whole time and then spam the jump button right before you land

Wow traviktox this WR! This last split of Romain Camp was so beautiful! Maybe some things to change, but deathless and under 30 just GG
