SwedenI know this is a dumb question, but if you haven't completed 100% on the Wii U version, would it be impossible for you to skip cut scenes (I'm gonna buy the download version).
On Dark Souls I think there's an invincibility glitch or something (I may be getting it confused with another game) that has been used in speedruns. But you're the mod, sorry for being difficult :)
I can see this being true... Maybe some dialogue things may even be skipped like in Super Mario 64 where Peach skips reading the letter at the beginning. Sorry to whoever is gonna test this but you should probably test every other language too, as there's probably one faster than Spanish :P
That sucks, atleast there's another category for PC. What do you mean by "Does anyone know that it is correct that you can't skip cutscenes at least in the first playthrough of every save?"
If I were a mod I'd allow them as they're legitimately in the game, it'd be dumb not to allow them :P In the rules it doesn't say that they aren't allowed so they probably are allowed :)
Hmm... It'll be hard to see if the red bricks are worth it or not... That's something I though about for any% too. You could do tests to see how long it takes to acquire the red brick from the regular route and the time it would save you later in the run. Also add on the time it takes to equip it, maybe that could be done in the time it takes to enter character codes which would save a very low amount of time... But, it's still time...
Doing 100% I'd do normal any% and then 100% because: -Many of the things in the special assignments either can't be obtained the first time doing the assignment or can be obtained faster later in the game. -You'd want a good any% time to start your 100% run.
Timing starts after hitting "OK" on the autosave screen. Timing ends when you collect/purchase the last object for 100%. Cutscenes may be skipped.
Go in the category and click View Rules to see the rules. It lists stuff like that :)
Aww :( So the yellow brick skip is kinda useless ;-; Thanks for reading and replying to my questions tho :)
I haven't speedran LCU yet and I'm not a mod but I'm pretty sure that if you take a break or something, it'd count in your running time. If it crashed I'd think you'd be able to keep going. The in-game time is not very reliable, I'd recommend you look at the timer page on speedrun.com and find the one that you like the most. Speedrun any% LCU first. Personally I'm taking notes to build up to my speedrun attempt and also just remembering some stuff. For advice just look around the forum. As this game was made only a few years ago and 3D graphics (don't know what to call it lol) have been used for a decade there really aren't that many skips compared to a game like Super Mario 64. However there are a lot compared to some other LEGO games. Good luck on 100%... Hope this helped :) ~Quad
At 2:50:10 in the WR run, is it necessary to water the plants? I'm trying to find out all the major parts the run can be improved :P (I consider major anything besides walking to a destination perfectly or driving perfectly)
Seems like a challenge Ozotuh! I just started practicing them. Thank you Niklass, that's what I wanted :) Because the boat skip makes it so that you don't have to build that blue/yellow plane, couldn't you save more time by not picking up some superbricks? Do you know the most out of way superbricks to get? Those could be avoided.
In the WR run I noticed that Waltek didn't use any of the skips in Colossal Fossil Hunt. Is there a reason for this? (I know they may be extremely hard to execute but I'd figure Waltek would master the trick) Also, does anyone have exact times (from the WR run) for every superbrick pickup and for every superbuild? Lastly, did Waltek not use any of the other skips? (I'll eventually watch the whole WR video, but I'm gonna start practicing today so any improvements from the WR will help me practice) Thanks for reading my questions :) ~Quad
