Bored of doing attempts so I made this.

Any questions, corrections and/or concerns, post it on the thread or leave a comment on the video.

This video is mainly aimed at peps who are new to Vice City speedrunning. But if you struggle with SSA in general this hopefully can help you.

Guy, out.

Thanks a lot! :) I know how it works but this shows some more detailed stuff I needed to know.. I think after this and some more practice I finally could be able to get a more consistent SSA :D

Cheers!

A few quick tips, if you take a sports car you're commited, you're not switching untill dropping off the VIP, and you are going to the cafe after airport, even if you find another car at the airport. It's faster to not switch with the VIP in your car, even if you're using the cab. Next, don't push cars during a call if you have a car waiting, use that time to spawn another car. Driving to the cafe after a call is over is OK, as long as the call isn't the Sonny call, in that case, keep despawning cars infront of SSA till you get a car or get the long Lance call, use that to run to the cafe. At the cafe, the only option is Idaho or Stallion, any other car can be gotten in front of SSA much faster. Some general advice, don't cancel calls, it's an automatic +20 seconds, unless in a few specific cases, like cancelling the long Lance call when you get a car in front of SSA but you're still missing a bridge or cafe car, or when you have 2 cars on the road, as Guy called it "Stacking". Also, keep despawning as long as you can, when you get into a car, keep facing backwards and despawn until the camera locks into the driving position.

Good tutorial Guy, SSA can be a pain to get right and even then it can mess you up.

good :) btw ... M000n PogChamp i miss u baby ! :3 when another attempts ?

I'll be sure to put that in the description or as an annotation whenever I get the chance. Thanks for the corrections, m00n.

"if you take a sports car you're commited, you're not switching untill dropping off the VIP, and you are going to the cafe after airport"

Shucks, forgot to cover that.

"Next, don't push cars during a call if you have a car waiting, use that time to spawn another car."

Well... does it help to do it simultaneously...?

"Driving to the cafe after a call is over is OK, as long as the call isn't the Sonny call, in that case, keep despawning cars infront of SSA till you get a car or get the long Lance call,"

Actually never thought of that. Sounds like it can be really effective. I'll try it myself later.

I dunno Fil, 2 days of VC running kinda killed my spirit already. Will give it a few more tries, but I might stream some non GTA related stuff too.

NP Guy, I really like the tutorial, just wanted to post my 2c.
