So my situation is this: This weekend (26th-27th) I will be running Undertale at the Time-Attack Roulette marathon. This is a special kind of marathon where all the runners submit games they run themselves, then the rest draws among them to see which game they get. They then have around a week to practice before the marathon starts. As you can probably guess, I drew Undertale (submitted by jdlinkmaster). Now I need some help getting started. I've played through the game 1½ times (didn't finish the second one :P ) and watched a bit of some actual runs. I think i'm going to run Neutral, but if you guys recommend doing a different category that might be easier to get into let me know. Also, which tricks and glitches should I focus on trying to get down before the marathon, and what would be a good goal time for me to try and go for? Thanks in advance <3
Neutral is a good category to start with. I recommend learning PCE and using it to skip the major cutscenes. Also learning the One Cycle Undyne wrong warp. Other wrong warps aren't really important and risk a softlock. Besides that, not dying to asgore.
So after a short practice yesterday i don't think i'm going to be able to learn PCE and make it consistent enough in the short amount of time i have left. Would Neutral Glitchless be easier to learn?
it would, the only thing to practice there is undyne the undying and asgore. after you get them down, grinding in the right spots, remembering the kill counts, and learning optimal damage ranges is the only thing left out of that.
for neutral glitchless you do not want to grind the 40 in hotland. This will put you on the genocide route when you want to abort genocide in hotland.
