Instructions for using the Replay skip glitch for time-save in Any% SSU were found

Latvia

Yesterday, August 2, I discovered exactly how to make a glitch like "Replay skip", which I wrote about earlier in the discord server in June. This glitch was found by me in January 2020, but then I didn't know how to make it. Now I finally have the instructions:

  1. The player is on a certain surface (grass and roadside asphalt - on these surfaces, the mechanism of this glitch has already been studied; asphalt and different layers of roads - happened accidentally, but you can make it on these surfaces, but the mechanism is not studied).

  2. On this surface, you need to click any way on F3: most likely I didn't work F1-F3; F3-F1 exactly worked; whether F3-F3 I didn't check.

  3. The player changes the surface on which he is located to another (for example, such transitions as Grass -> Asphalt or Roadside asphalt -> Asphalt) Asphalt is the road surface and all its layers; roadside asphalt is the surface on which Tommy appears at the very beginning of the game and takes the first steps. Grass - any green surface.

  4. Glitch is that when you change the surface of replay, which can be skipped begins after the key has been pressed F3 and as soon as the player changes the surface to another while suspended; and on the other surface is a sufficiently large amount of time (I don't know exact, but roughly equal to 10 or 15 seconds)

  5. then you need to go back to the surface on which the key was pressed F3 (as soon as the feet of Tommy or the wheels of the car touches the surface of the replay will be played next, but not visible on the screen)

  6. You need to wait this amount of time, which you want to skip this replay, so here we need to clearly calculate what time you should be at this surface, prior to activation of the replay (In the SSU run player coming out of the store and should be very clear to all calculate not to lose any seconds - the countdown for the replay and for SSU)

  7. Press the F1+F3 at the same time and you have played back the replay, but not at first, but since you gave him from the surface in a normal game.

In SSU, I have found only one way to use this replay skip for a normal route (I haven't checked for TAS-route, but I am sure that this may be possible as the replay skip can be used even after I reloaded the save). (NG+ stuff or something?)

I use the standard keyboard layout. We go to the SSU zone, press Tab+F1+F3 at the same time, after the replay quickly press and hold Capslock and release after the appearance of the label all, as always.

I don't know if I can press Capslock+Tab+F1+F3 at the same time, but I couldn't. I didn't find an easier way to click replays, I'll add that you can press F1->F3 while waiting for the replay skip, maybe you can use this to find an easy way. And you will only have one chance to click on the replay for skip.

I will leave interesting videos that I made yesterday, maybe they will clarify the situation more clearly for you:

  1. Replay skip showcase (useful glitch for Any% SSU speedrun) My fifth recorded replay skip (Other records were lost due to the fact that I didn't know how this skip works).
  2. How replay goes, but is not shown in the screen.
  3. Bugs when using replay skip.
  4. Place to move to the spawn circle of the seller with a strategy with a replay skip.
  5. Showing a usage of replay skip in Any% SSU speedrun on usual route.
  6. Showing a usage of replay skip in Any% SSU speedrun on TAS route.

Update (September 6, 2020): I combined six previous videos into one:

Unfortunately, I don't have time to create a video, so I will at least pass it on here to you. Note that the replay does not stop at nothing, it is paused in the game after the player has changed the surface. So here you need to look at the presence of NG+. I called this NG+ restart save, but I don't know yet if it's possible to call a replay through a new game for TAS-route, for example.

Instructions for using Replay skip for TAS-Route in Any% SSU:

  1. F3 -> F1 at the beginning of the level during landing in Faggio (to enable rampage);

  2. F3 -> F1 on the grass for the start of the replay, which will be skipped (for the failure of the rampage);

  3. Store robbery;

  4. Dupes stage via F3 -> F1 - F3 -> F1;

  5. Every time you drive along the road from the store to the dupes, you need to be on the grass as much as possible, as the replay in these frames begins to go;

  6. Jump out on the grass and cross the despawn at the right time for SSU;

  7. You are looking for a cop car, and then Tab+F1+F3 -> Capslock, as I wrote earlier.

In the end, I would like to apologize to all of you for the immature behavior and for the toxicity, I don't know, I was just filled with envy, because I have a weak computer. People, like me, tend to blame others for their own insignificance. It's sad, but it's life. So sorry.

Update (September 25, 2020): I found a strategy that no one has ever used before in Any% SSU speedrun. It saves almost no time at all, just a couple of frames. And it's better to just drive the car into the seller's spawn zone, and click: Capslock(h)→Tab→F3(f), as demonstrated by RoK_24 in his PB. I noticed that it worked very often for me, despite how badly I pressed the keys. When I tried to push, just like RoK in his PB, I did not succeed the first time, but with this strategy I almost always succeeded. Because of this, you can understand that it is much easier and faster than what Marushko, guywith and Anti_rta did in their PB.

And so here is the instruction:

  1. Run into the car
  2. Get in the car
  3. During the animation of landing Tommy in the car, press: Tab→F3(f) Note: instead of F3, you can safely press F1+F3 to the Replay Skip glitch, and even with this skipped replay, everything will work fine.
  4. During the replay, you will need to press Capslock to activate Vigilante later and hold it without releasing it.
  5. After the end of the replay, just wait for the cutscene of purchasing a safehouse and do everything as usual.
