But think about the memes.

^ Here's a video of me doing it with a gamepad overlay displaying inputs. The exacts inputs in question are quick gel (LT + X), silent takedown (Y), then hold Aim (LT) for a second. It's all done pretty quickly, so I like sliding my thumb from X to Y to do it quickly. Also works for interrogations. It's also possible to skip some animations using A inputs using the same method but with quick freeze nades instead of gel.

Ooh that's neat, thanks for that info.

Airship zip is done by having REC equipped and then inputting Aim, Fire, and Batarang quickfire all very quickly. I believe it's actually possible to do with a controller but I have no idea how.

The freeze interrupts are performed by inputting Quickfire freeze nade (RT x 2), (A), then Aim (LT), but the timing is pretty specific. The second time you press RT to perform quickfire nade, you should be pressing A at the same time.

Same deal but it's very tricky with controller, which is why I almost never do it because I end up failing it. The button sequence is LT, X, RT, Y, LT all in quick succession.

There is none. Animation cancelling doesn't work for that. And fear takedowns are pretty quick so that's not really an issue.

LT + X (Quickfire Gel), Y (Takedown), LT (Aim). It's one of the easiest tricks to do.

Double Tap RT (Quickfire Freeze), RB (Grapple Swing), Hold LT (Aim). The timing is about the same as silent takedown cancelling.

The Airship zip I use keyboard/mouse to set up storage. I've never gotten it with controller, so I can't help you there. Storage is done by interrupting shooting the REC by quickfiring a batarang.

What do you mean by freeze flight? The grapple swing clips?

I'm not sure, but I always let go of it.

You have about half a second after pressing X to perform the quickfire REC. It's doesn't have to be at the same time.

Equip the REC. The inputs on controller is LT (aim), X (strike), and LT+B (Quickfire REC). The timing is very generous, you can practice on any corner cover until you get it right. Batman should zip towards your last set default coordinates (collision will stop you).

Is the skip possible on console? I don't know. The skip itself is prone to crashing is the conditions aren't perfect. In my experience, the game crashes just by having the Season of Infamy DLC installed and sometimes while even using a skin. If the game crashes without DLC installed or equipped, try the other side of the doorway. If that still doesn't work, then it might not be possible on console.

Lemme know if you have any other questions.

If I can get an invite, that would be hella sweet.

So yeah the way the game seems to handle it is that it wants you to do half of the remaining side missions after defeating Scarecrow. There are 14 side missions in total. If you do none of them and finish the game, it will tell you to do 7 of them (half of 14). If you finish 6, it'll tell you to do 4 more (half of 8).

Hi :)

Pretty good start. An idea though:

Man-bat is definitely predictable. He's guaranteed to spawn after visiting Riddler on pretty much any large flat rooftop. I usually trigger him on the ledge of the Gotham Casino building. I think a better route for that would be Visit Riddler - Pyg Victim near Orphanage - Trigger Man-Bat - Casino Pyg Victim - Catch Man-Bat. Casino Pyg might be faster if done earlier? Not sure. It's just convenient to do it when heading back to the bridge.

How are you doing First Firefly after Riddler? Did you mean after crash scene?

Also for the Azrael ending, you can just leave the Clock Tower using the gate. That's the quickest ending.

I've checked the leaderboard videos and noticed none of them used the quick-kill I've found for Mr. Tong a while ago. My video shows it with buffed health but I'm sure there's a viable way to get it without tanking it.

What you wanna do is get to the last part of the mission with the final three guys before reaching the sauna. Kill two of them and head to the sauna. Stand in front of the door and then drop your weapon (make sure it isn't clipping through the door, this may cause problems). Afterwards take out the final thug and then head back to the sauna.

After skipping the cutscene, head back to the entry door. Although it de-spawns the weapon currently in your hands, it does not get rid of any of the weapons from the previous gunfight. You can pick up the gun through the wall and use it to not only quick-kill the the brawler and grappler thugs, but also Mr. Tong. Note: the final blow on Mr. Tong has to be a counter.
