I want to learn Any% speedrun, but I don't know how to learn the strats. Also, is there a no replay category? I personally think that replays make the runs less interesting.
If you want to learn any%, I made a tutorial that you can find on my YouTube, but it's outdated and does not include the Japanese version strats. if you want to learn JP, I'd say watch my tutorial, then learn from WR or a commentated run (I will be running this at ESA so there will be a run with commentary soon.)
As for "no replays", Fatzke has an older tutorial that you can watch on his YouTube. Also, keep in mind that we used replays even back in the days of SSA, though you could exclude replays for reloading weapons and for SSA vehicle spawn manipulation and bam, a no replay VC run. Also, you can dupe without replays, you know. :^)) We don't actually have an official "no replay" category though, because nobody cares about using severely outdated strats here at #gta. Anyway, hope I helped.
There is already a 7 assets category. It still allows replays (including duping Jury Fury and clothes replays during Cherry Popper) but bans skipping assets. Almost no one runs it. Feel free to run with whatever rules you like, though - what would stop you?^^
See the 7 assets leaderboard for the wr route.
if you don't want to use replays you can run the PS2 version, a really good run should end up close to the 1:10 mark or maybe even 1:05 (you can watch overcooler's run for reference) As for learning strats (for PC) you can watch mhmd tutorial and ractrot's pb (that the only completed pb with the current strat). if there's part you don't understand then don't hesitate to ask specific questions here, or on some runner twitch chat during their stream, most of them(or someone in chat) will clarify stuff
It allows instantly completing Distribution (or "ice cream mission" as that version calls it) by starting it during Hit the Courier. Doing that over and over is the new method of "obtaining" the required assets.
Since it doesn't have a censored language that lets you disable(censor) and enable rampages by switching between censored and uncensored languages, you need to disable them via Taxi Driver or Vigilante (luck factor) to get a rampage replay without triggering the rampage. An alternative is making a replay of the molotov rampage that lets you drown yourself after starting it and making the rampage replay.
You'll love it. ;)
You mean the hit the courier/distribution strat on ps2 can only be done on japanese version ?
(on my european version of the game, when I do the save/cop mission at the same time, I can take "Hit the courier", but that freezes the game)
The only versions known to me where starting Hit the Courier and Distribution don't crash the game are the japanese PC and PS2 version and a German version by a company called "Green Pepper". The latter doesn't have rampages without an uncensored no-CD gta-vc.exe, which counts as modding and is therefore banned.
VC Enthusiasts, good news!
The VC Mod Team has decided to allow users to access a y-sens fix for mouse issues. This can be used legally in speedruns from today onwards, with only one rule.
