I've just edited the #15 part with the new glitch and it appears that I gained 4 minutes. That's a bit more than I thought ^^. And I'm sure that I won't gain that much time for #14 and #13. I already recorded them, but not edited and I think I should gain like 1 minute for each part.

Can't say. I don't have any possibility to play and record MW on PC at the same time. As soon as I can (so when I'll move out), I'll be able to play on a new PC, but it's not gonna be soon, so can't try anything.

Does someone else has PC copy here? Would be cool to check this.

Btw, which time did you do yesterday, Kuru?

I don't know which time is possible anymore. I guess this will also depend on how effective the glitch is, and if it works on every track. Maybe on X360 a sub 8 is possible, so maybe on PC sub 7. And I'm talking about a seg run. A SS run will probably be slower than half an hour or something like that.

I gave a (very) quick look to it on U2 and it doesn't seem to work. Maybe with a different way we could do it tho.

And so, is it allowed for MW? I'd like to work on it as sonn as possible. If it's allowed I'll try to do a list of the tracks that can (or can't) be glitched.

The following is about #15 races :

1. Yes, it is possible to do the knockout race in one lap.
2. Yes, all circuits work (The first required race and the 2 Sonny's duel circuit)
3. and YES, you can manipulate more than 1 circuit at a time ! I tried to manipulate all the races right when I gained access to my safehouse, and if you think to accept the settings for each circuit / KO-race, then it works (as I said I'm talking only for #15 races atm)

Moreover, I checked, and #14 circuit and KO races are available right when you've beaten the #15. So if it's logical, it will be the same for every blacklist member. Fun fact is that the game clearly shows 'To unlock this track you have to beat #xx member', but in fact nope ^^

EDIT : @JessicaSix, I think that for #14 at least it's better to keep the sprint with maximal risk of cops, because when they're after you the heat raises. So you can have faster access to heat lv2, which give more bounty and is a huge help. But well we'll have to do some calculations ^^

I quickly tried it for KO-races yesterday and it failed, but I think that I did something wrong.

With my first tests yesterday, I can say that doing this glitch takes something like 30-40 seconds. So it's timesave on every circuit if it works everywhere. I will create a new career to check that out, at least up to #15. If it works and if it's allowed, then I'll (again) have to restart another run because of that. Damn I think I'll never see the end of this run....

Hmm I should verify tomorrow. JessicaSix is totally right. But I'm pretty sure that (for Izzy's example) you unlock the circuit when you have the possiblity to challenge her, not after. And anyway if the circuit is unlocked after it's raced in career mode, then it's useless, because each track is raced only once during career. But It's possible I've just missed something tho.

This circuit isn't played before Izzy so I suppose that it's not unlocked from the start.

Just made a very quick video to show you how it works now :

Yeah. I'll have to do some tests but I think that to get this glitch effective you should do the glitched race right after you go in free race.

Here are some news :

• I had a bounty problem (had not enough for a strat later in the run) which forced me to restart (again) another run, videos of #15 and #14 are done but not uploaded yet.
• I'm currently to #12

And Most Important : --> I've found an improved way to my fastlap glitch I showed you weeks ago. I tried on Izzy's duel circuit and it works fine on it. And it's a 2-Lap race ! So if it works on every circuit, there will be timesaves, a lot of timesaves. Now I don't need a 2nd profile to do it. Just go to the 'free race' mode (I dunno how it's called in english, sry), select the track you want (you can choose only an unlocked track, so you have to be at the same point on the career), change the settings (e.g. 1 Lap, I'm not sure if traffic or catch-up options change yet), and go back to the career. You don't even have to drive the circuit in free race mode.

Now that it needs only 1 profile, is it possible to use it during a speedrun?

It don't need to be a category. It can just be a challenge that we prepare and rule as all the re5 community.

I'm sure that I'll do it when I'll be able to stream, because there's no joy to play something like this without people to laugh at it. The community is not very active, so I think that we can distract the few people that likes what we do on this game.

I don't think just going for emblems is interesting.

It still needs to be a 'challenge', because it's not the fastest way to clear the game, so why not doing some sort of a 100% run then? That would mean get all emblems, get all treasures, get every weapon (and improve them?) and why not picking up every item that can be found in boxes,crates.. (so no loots on enemies).

At least a all treasures & emblems challenge run could be really interesting, and with specified restrictions I'm sure many people could give it a shot.

Taz is done, as this is the shortest segment it was quick to do.

Found a little trick to gain 1/2 second or so, by replacing the car with the Back button. I puts the car right on the safehouse entry, and not on the road. I tested it doesn't work for the parts shop nearby the safehouse, sadly.

Glad to know it ! Editing like this makes the life so much easier for me, so thx.

So as I wrote before, I'll have less time to play the game for the next 7-8 months or so, it might be one segment done every 2 weeks, which means that it will take a huge amount of time.

I did the 1st segment again, tell me what you think about it. I cutted at the same time than before, just after the short cutscene before each race (still doing like this because it's easier with the reloads), BUT I didn't cut between the 2nd race and the pursuit, and didn't cut between the 2 races in 1v1 with Sonny. It's the same video than the previous till the cop race. The main point I want to know is good or not is starting here. As it's the same as before, you'll see a little change when I go to the safehouse (after buying the Chevy). I reloaded here and I could drive directly without the messages, so I suppose it's the best time to cut.

If this one is satisfying for you, I might try to continue it, despite the fact that now I will have way less free time than before.

On normal difficulty I need only 1 rocket to defeat U8. Sometimes he trolls and needs more damage, but most of the time it's one shot. I never tested on veteran (but we'll do it very soon). I thought more of the chainsaw majini in 2-1 that is a bit longer to kill, and the 2-2 boss that is a few seconds longer too. But anyway yeah it's close between all the difficulties.

@Auddy, for Xbox speed, we use disc version installed on HDD. So maybe this can do a difference with the digital copy of the game, who knows.

@SnOw, thx ! I calculated it at 3am, so I suppose I failed it ^^ Will change it on YT too.

The best choice is to keep Amateur, but we can keep Veteran too for the challenge. So players can have a choice on what they can try, depending on their motivation, time, disponibility.... To get a good time, Veteran will require a lot more training than Amateur obviously.

So yeah if I had to make a choice, I'd keep Amateur and Veteran, for the challenge. Dunno if the others agree with me.

I think that technically, Normal is like 10 seconds slower than Amateur, for example. But in reality, as in higher difficulties we need to play a bit safer, to get more heals...

I don't know what is the true difference tho. Maybe 30 seconds if the runs are perfect, maybe a bit more if there's too much danger ^^

Well Me and Mitsuko have just done today a new Amateur run, will submit it in the next few days. I honestly don't care that Amateur is a misc category, but as I said I regret that all the runs previously done in this category will be 'ghosts'. We'll submit our run whatever happens tho, Amateur can be an official or a misc category, it's still gonna be an accomplishment for us.

Mitsuko, however, told me that he disagree with me and the choice made. He'd like to keep NG Amateur a real category, because it's simply the fastest way to do amateur, even if it's too easy.

Now you have both our feelings ;)

Well I saw that already, but I don't have anything else to say ^^

I don't disagree about the difficulty choices, it's fine. I just regret that Amateur and Normal are secondary now, but we had to choose, and the challenge will be at its max on Veteran.

And yeah it's a good choice to put NG solo to Amateur, totally agree with that too.
