I'm new to the channel and this comment made me very interested... Explain please hahah

@@gankudog7105 he went to the toilet and missed the world record run becauss of it haha, thats all. Sorry for the late reply.

Glad to help you relive these awesome games with a bit of a twist! You might enjoy checking out the full game run I have of No IMG on my channel, or some other categories from other people :) Heck, even the other games, its an awesome and active community :)

Fr like the first minute and I have no idea you could do movement like that 😂 I had hundreds of hours in this game too

Yeah its hilarious hahaha. Hope you enjoyed it!

Yeah that's IMG (Insomniac Museum Glitch), does exactly as you described hahaha. If you would like to see a run which doesn't use it, check out ng+ no img :)

@@feargames4270 I watch that channel too, really interesting seeing the movement techniques and all that.

I hope it made you happy :) PS2 world record is now 7:08 (2 way tie between me and IN), but PS3 has since been found to be quicker due to loads, despite having access to less tech. Maybe worth checking out some other categories!

Thanks heaps, means a lot that people actually enjoy watching :)

@@feargames4270 No Problem Fear, always my pleasure duude, you will be defently way more better in speedruning the Ratchet and Clank games, stay safe and healthly! ❤😏

A trick called poking. Much more fun, and much faster than the intended method hahaha

Hmmm interesting. I'll give it a look at some point soon.

@@feargames4270 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNB1dNd-ls2xlKM.html if you want to see It's seem like you can block him in this state while he is on a walking animation

@@squd322 I realise this is an extremely late response but I did actually end up looking into this. Stunlock is consistent, but a stunlock where you can then poke isn't consistent enough. As he can't shoot himself however you end up losing some time. Doing a setup like this is about the same as poking with jump-pad route, but the proxy route I use is roughly 5 seconds faster. So essentially, that stunlock is rougly 5s slower. Nice idea though.

@@feargames4270 oh ok, thanks for trying anyway and happy to have bring something new on the table.

I started speedrunning in November of 2017, and I have largely played just this game since then. So more than 6 years :)

I don't entirely know what you're talking about, but if you mean neutral speed, then yeah in most cases it doesn't work, due to the length of the cutscenes. It does work in some niche examples, like the 'break glass' cutscene on tabora. It also does work on ps3 where loads are faster, but this is ps2.

@@feargames4270 I think this is neutral speed but i'm not sure so i'll explain better ; On RaC 1, you can punch with the walloper, then pause when you're at max speed, go to the goodies menu, play a cutscene and directly double tap start to skip and close the pause menu, so in game you will keep the momentum from the punch but you can do sideflips and jump / long jumps to preserve it and so to move faster. (I believe this is that, I hope you know what i'm talking about) In RaC 2, from what i understood, chargeboots directly reach the max cap speed, and you can do neutrals and things like that directly from chargeboots speed, but, for others categories like any%, APB, 100% etc where you don't have, or not directly the chargeboots, but just clank packs instead, can't you do that momentum storage thing to go faster ? I never see this in Rac 2 runs that's why i ask I don't know if there is cutscenes playables in the menu in ng0 but I believe you can press select to open the map and then press circle to play infobot cutscene (idk if this is useful, i asked if infobot cutscene is useful in Rac 1 to do momentum storage and it's apparently not) And also, why runners in Rac 2 don't do tricks from RAC 1 ? Like doing a first long jump, then neutral then chains to build speed? Or mid air long jump ? (Not sure about this one, i believe I saw it but not sure) it's look like a lot of mouvement tech from RAC 1 isn't realised on Rac 2 runs, on any% for exemple (And what cutscene length or load speed have to do with all of this?) IIRC, RaC 2 have a walloper too :p

Ah okay you were talking about a different thing i see. Walloper tech, or any form of pausing and/or playing videos to preserve speed does not work in rac2. As for chaining longjumps, unlike rac1 where chaining together several longjumps/midairs is easy, in rac2 chaining longjumps is frame perfect (1/60 second) and gains less speed. You can chain sideflips in the same way, but again its less effective, and only faster than just thruster pack in very specific situations. Rac2 also has less 'free' midairs, in that you dont get as much height, or speed from them, and they can't turn you as far. All of these things make the meta for rac2 completely different. Hope that clears it up :)

Oh also to further expand, yeah chargeboots take you to max speed instantly, so even with clank you're still better off just charging in straight lines where possible.

@@feargames4270 yeah that's clear (:

Thank you :)

We use a trick called IMG (Insomniac Museum Glitch). Every version of the game has a method of doing it, but on the ps2, American Black Label version, its as simple as visiting the insomniac museum from the specials mene and then leaving. As you picked up on, it skips about 2/3 of the game. If you want to watch an NG+ run with that part of the game, look at ng+ no IMG.

You're too kind :)

@@feargames4270 because you looks like Marty ) Back to the future is my favorite movie

Swingshot storage is a design oversight in which when you defeat protopet to enter challenge mode, whatever weapon/gadget was your secondary at that time remains into the ng+ file. This way, you can keep and use swingshot in a new file.

A lot of them work, but you have to do then a little differently. Anything in the air doesn't work unfortunately. Ps3 is a significantly patched version, but also has its own unique glitches. I would recommend checking out Emeralve's ps3 runs to see whats possible!

@@feargames4270 oh fire! thanks for the response, love the videos! I only knew about the first person mode wall climb glitch back in 20xx hahah

Insomniac museum glitch. Theres a way to do it on every version of the game, but for this version (black label, ntsc-u, ps2) all you need to do is go to the museum through shortcuts and then leave. Thats literally it lmao. Watch my NG+ no IMG world record if you're curious how the run looks without this glitch

Thank you :)

@@feargames4270 :) welcome

Not at all, this run you watched is completely unmodded! Just an ntsc-u ps2 with a black label game. Completely stock standard!

@@feargames4270 thank you, I always wondered how speed runs worked ! Thats awesome skill you got 🙌🏼

Thank you!

The prophecy lives on

I dont, I start on the regular starting planet, and then I go to insomniac museum straight away. On this version of the game, all I have to do then is leave and it skips 2/3 of the game.

Yeah thats what we used to do in runs haha, sort of a shame that its slower as it was always funny

hol down
