United StatesGlad to hear that Zander might do that. What are your thoughts on Max%? I think Max% could be freeing both Cuz and Rex and getting all the lost Gex tapes while completing this game 100%? :P
Getting all 50 remotes (to get the bonus ending photo montage at the end) then beating the final boss could be one. Then of course there is cheat%. :)
This is a great idea :D Should we also list the best WW setups for each version in the pastebin as well? :)
This is a new TV Cancel skip that is in Superhero Show. It saves about 25 seconds in 100%. First, defeat the Mad Bomber to active the TV and have 1 health point left to make Gex die in midair while he gets hit with the dynamite. For the set up, have the camera where it is closest to Gex. Jump up on the TV and go near the edge where the green pad is. Look at the direction of the criminal and as soon as you see the dynamite, jump off of the TV really quick and get hit by it.
All of these sound like a really good idea :D I’m good with whatever the final result will be. Should we add in the GBC Gex games to this site? Will these trilogy/multiple game runs be timed by RTA timing or will they be timed by adding the total times of each game run that you do? I prefer RTA timing when running multiple games rather then the other way. What do you guys think? :)
Thanks a lot! :D This video consists of 20 or so short segments to show minimal mistakes :)
Yeah, it is great that this category can sub the No ID WR :D But the runner had to have an extremely insane run to get a 25 though, having very few minor mistakes. 26 can happen for sure though and it is amazing that this category can go this low :)
The Rez Strat that I used wasn’t the fastest. The fastest strat that I use is this: Bounce on the first fly TV and eat the bug. Shoot at Rez and then tailwhip the TV to get a fly around Gex. After you have the fly going around Gex, go towards Rez. Go to the left side of Rez. Line yourself up in a certain spot right next to the platform that have the next fly TV. When Rez’s shoulders go up, that is your cue to get within range where Rez will open the target again. After hitting Rez again, make sure to eat the fly after Rez has his target covered up or else you will run out of time. Keep on getting within range and hit Rez 2 more times. Next when Rez has his shoulders up, it is time to make a jump to the platform that has the fly TV. I prefer a karate kick to get there. Tailwhip the TV to get another fly and eat the fly. Shoot at Rez the final time. This strat saves around 20 seconds faster then the one that I used in my latest 100% run but the last jump if failed can loose a lot of time.
There are also many ways on hitting Rez 5 times just as fast. I’ll do the strat that I just described to be in the video. I also want to show the 100% ending for fun, is that ok with you? :D
Not skipping the cutscene, getting the bonus coin and then respawning is 5 seconds faster :) I will do the snowboard skip and mention that it is easier. For the video, I did mini segments and it appears that this category can go down to a 25:xx.
The title will be “Gex 3 New PS Any% Route”. At the beginning of the video, it says “This video is meant to show the new Gex 3 Any% route for the PS version, nothing else. Please read the video description for more info. Thanks!” and at the Wrong Warp part of the video, it says “Tigame's NTSC Version Wrong Warp Setup Video. The NTSC Version and the Pal Version Setups are in the Description.” Is that good? :D
Ok, that makes sense to me :) That is interesting about the PAL setup not working on the NTSC emulator. So that setup only works with just that one savestate that you have created? I tested your way in the Army Channel and it appears that your way is 5 seconds faster then the old way, great thinking :) I also timed if the snowboard skip is faster or not in Holiday Broadcasting and it appears that going on the snowboard could possibly be faster in a TAS due to it being at the same speed with Gex’s karate kick. When you are on the board, it seems like the gates and the bonus coin have a wider hitbox as well. What do you think about me being on the snowboard or not? If so, I’ll talk about the snowboard skip in the description :D
Ok, great. :) So what are your thoughts on having just the NTSC WW in the video or both the PAL and NTSC WW in? If we do both then could you upload the PAL version without the text as well? Thanks :D
Ok, thanks :P We are going for the “Ride the Camel to the Ancient Temple” remote in Holy Moses. By the way, I can’t jump to the higher ledge of Slappy Valley when collecting the first bonus coin at all. I tried to jump again and again, even with tailwhipping, but it doesn’t work for me. So without jumping to the ledge, I timed myself compared to a new route and it appears that the new route is faster. The new route is going straight to Mythology Network, and then collect the 3 bonus coins in Slappy Valley without savewarpping. Thoughts? :)
Thanks! :D Uploading to YouTube without the text is great for me. But I’m thinking that I could put in both the PAL and NTSC version WWs in the video just on case if there are any PAL runners. I will state which one is best used for each version. What are your thoughts about this? :)
I guess there is one WW that just works for the NTSC version and another one that works for PAL, PAL Emulator, and NTSC Emulator?
Maybe I could combine your WW videos with my future video to have a video as a guide of some sorts so that we can have a video that shows the whole run? I’ll of course give you credit. :)
Yeah it takes 22 seconds when I savewarp. Thanks so much for uploading the clip setup too. I already attempted the setup multiple times and it was consistent, great set up! :D
As for recording a run, I don’t plan on running this category until I get more practice with WW, so it could take a while to complete a full run but I will try. I can easily post a video of the current route that goes all the way up to the WW or even a segmented run though. What do you prefer? :)
For Mystery TV, I completed “Survive the Hedge Maze” 3 times with and without the deathwarp. While timing the deathwarp time, I only used the deathwarp only once. Timing begins when I first control Gex in the level and ends at the blackout when Gex goes in the TV a third time.
With Deathwarp: 1:51.63 Without Deathwarp: 1:56.49
So this deathwarp saves around 5 seconds. Here are my other times for the deathwarp in Lake Flaccid.
With Deathwarp: 29.53 Without Deathwarp: 22.74
So that deathwarp looses around 7 seconds. I’m glad that I could help you out with all of this, it have been fun for me :D
Great points. Is there is anything else you could think of timing wise? :)
