oh i see

What does FF even mean, Flash ?

Hi guys. Thank you for your submissions and your love for Sushi Cat ^_^

I just tested the game on my Android device and i gotta say my first impression is not promising.

1. It seems the game is very buggy. My first game hard froze three times on entering the cutscenes after Level 5, 10, as well as after skipping an ad after retrying level 8.

2. I have a Galaxy 7 with Android 10. Starting the app the first time, i got a warning the game might not work correctly because my OS is too recent and the app was developed for an older version.

3. The app is free but ad driven. Every 3 stages or so you get a skippable ad but it needs a variable time to buffer before you can skip it, dependant on what ad it is and how fast your net connection is. Also theres no way to remove ads with in app purchases.

I dont know if Sushi Cat existed on IOS. If it did and someone of you had an iphone and want to test it for that (or the Android version) , feel free to share your experiences.

Hey there, since somebody asked me, I'll share all the infos about the speedrun i still have that I used to learn the run myself. It's been quite a while ago and it's just a bunch of Screenshots of the playfields with little annotations which monsters there are, but it's all I have for now.

Sadly I don't have the time right now to create a real guide but hopefully these screenshots come in handy anyways.

I'll provide the download link of the zip with the images in the guide section.

Hey everyone,

was just wondering what you think about creating a category that focuses on another aspect of the game: point hunting instead of "credits roll". Might be interesting to find optimal strats imo (?).

Best regards.

and why does his 6:42 run entry say it has a video available when it's just a picture of his final star grab ? 😕

It's done. Thanks for pointing it out.

You like that ? I do.

It's a good idea. I set up the level categories so it's open for submissions. Be sure to submit it on the "Destruction Derby - Total Destruction" category.

Yeah do it. This guy is a passionate Overcooked expert

It's the only fair way to use time without loads imho. Extrapolating from my comparisons, PS4 loses about 2:45min to PC (w/ SSD drive).

Cheers everybody,

so I just finished my first proper Any% run, which should be ready for submission tomorrow. I timed a few things to elaborate timesaves for the Any% category and this is what I've found:

(1) Obviously, taking the optimal route from stage to stage with the overworld bus, spamming that dash button and avoiding obstacles like those mountains at the bottom.

(2) Obviously, the final boss which is the only skill based level (apart from being required getting at least 1 star in each). The meteor RNG is a big thing, but nonetheless since theres no order RNG it's all about planning and reaction.

(3) Skipping hut dialogs. You don't ever need to talk to the onion man. Just enter the houses, dash once to the left, press A to leave and the next level spawns.

(4) Skipping stars. I timed that it is a tiny bit faster to not get all 3 stars in a stage since it makes skipping the score screen (by pressing A) available about 1 second earlier if you just get 1 star instead of 3. You need 74/87 stars for the final stage to spawn so you have room for 13 stars to miss which could therefore grant about 6,5 seconds of timesave over the entire run.

(5) Do a playthrough before the run. If you played on a "fresh" system, you constantly unlock new chefs and unlock new stages which wastes time.

(6) Be prepared for the alert windows. There are only two. One in the turorial which says "Press (?) to switch chefs" and one in 1-1 which says "wash dirty plates" which stop the time. Make them vanish asap.

(7) Running on PC. The current WR holder for solo any%, Prankhan, played it on PS4, while I played it on PC on an SSD drive which makes it uncomparable due to load times. Just compared stage 4-4 and the load time was 2.5 seconds for me while it was full 8 seconds for him. So not considering potential differences in stages, just extrapolating that would be 30 * 5,5seconds = 2:45min. No idea about XboxOne or Switch loads.

No chance of getting it in there?

Anybody knows how to run DD2 in pSX 1.13 emulator ? Is there a way to tell it to use the cue file like mednafen does ? Simply loading track01.bin disables all music and stuff since it doesn't recognize the 19 other .bin files.

But just from watching, it seems you got 3x50 points and 1x10 points on enemies crashing at the first curve that occur way after you touched them. Could be worth trying it on Div2 Pine Hills as well maybe. The crash potential is probably way higher on Black Sail though.

That glitch is pretty odd, will try to reproduce it next time I pick up the game. There is no reason not to abuse glitches in speedruns unless it's glitchless specifically. :P

Very nice WR indeed, especially with the Pro car. I thought Pro would be worse than Rookie in Wrecking because of the awful grip which turns and flips you over on every contact. But apparently it's not that bad.

With new strats, sub10 has been breached for PSX. So PC would easily sub 9 now I believe. But I can't get that crappy program to work on Win10. Too lazy to setup a VM :P

I'd love to switch over to real hardware too, but PAL just blows.. need to get NTSC hardware then.

so confirmed PS1 speedrunning is a hardware mess. Console vs emulator, PS1 vs PS2, PS2 vs PS2 Slim. Great :D . And mednafen is on the slow train, as well as several ePSX versions.

There was no option other than PS1 in the submission form. Other platforms are now available and assuming I got that right, I changed thebpg13s current run to PS2.
