I don’t know if this is a known strategy or if it doesn’t even let you mash faster but I’ve found that if you take the joystick on a nunchuck an put on on the A button and shake it left and right in a tight and smooth motion you can mash the button incredibly fast. I’m not sure the capability of it cuz I discovered it tapping through loading screen tips on Spider-Man shattered dimensions but if someone could hook it up to a computer and see exactly how fast you’re pressing the button that’d be nice.

I have found every glitch that I can find in all of my speed games. I need a new game. It can be any genre, any generation, anything, it doesn't matter. all I need is a somewhat unoptimized game for me to poke and prod around in for glitches (the game being free would be pretty cool though).

i used to do offline speed runs of this game in early 2021 and i got to a 17:36 routing the game out by myself and its a pretty damn good time for my route. im bewildered by how 2 minutes was shaved off and i want to see the run to know what potatoish does differently. unfortunately the link doesnt work, potatoish if you see this could you pretty please post the run to youtube.

Since the old speedrunning discord got changed and the new discord linked to the SRC page is just the official discord for the game there is nowhere to go to discus the speedrun of the game (that i know of). Will we ever make a new discord server or will it just stay like this indefinitely.

On the route to the bad ending in chapter 1 you have to go down a set of stairs and akumu "jumpscares" you when you get close to the bottom. However if you walk at the little side wall you can get over the wall and just fall all the way to the bottom. (also keep in mind last time i played the game was multiple months ago so it might have been patched)

samer has confirmed that it is on other consoles

in the cave section of chapter 1 near where the moving statue is i found a way to get out of bounds while playing with my friend, near the house and the moving statue there is a little hole in the wall, it leads to a small alcove. if you go to the end and sprint into a part of the wall you can get on top of the cave, if you then run strait in the out of bounds until you see a portion of ground thats rock instead of grass, go along that and once it ends you should be able to see the hotel portion nearby, i dont know how to get into the hotel section yet but i feel this would be good to know.

Lab 4 skip is now viable for runs and can save anywhere from 10 to 40 seconds if done after lab 2, however the enemy used in the skip is very inconsistent with his movement. If a consistent method of getting him near the force field during the mecha arm fight is found i believe sub 8 could be possible. However if a entirely new method for lab 4 skip is found that doesnt involve fighting the mecha arm twice it could save upwards of 2 minutes.

this may be wii only

i dunno if the route saves time, but if done well the skip definitively does

this is not via the air launch like with hammerhead skip you clip through via the attack in the air

it doesnt save any time but it could if you do lab 2 before lab 4 and it could save up to a minute or 2 if you dont fight the mecha arm
