Someone recently told me about a new glitch that greatly reduces the time of a run.
Skip to 19:30 to see it in action
Now because this glitch changes the game so drastically I propose it be added as a new variable for any%. So the runs on the board be changed to any% no level skips or any% no infinite height glitch and runs using the new glitch be any%. I will do some more runs now that this glitch has resparked my interest so thanks to PYTHON 77 for letting me know about it.
Yeah, I could help mod if you need me to.
Here's a completed run of the new any% route
The only issue I ran in to is that the game always froze at the loading screen before the Shao Kahn fight. So the only way I could get around it is to save and reload before the final battles which solves the freezing problem. Saving/Reloading loses a significant amount of RTA time but maybe only 10 seconds (if even) of IGT.
As for renaming the old any% runs the best title I came up with would be "All Medallions". The medallions are the items that give you extra abilities such as long jump, double jump, etc and lead to beating the game in a normal progression. It would also allow the infinite height glitch to be used because it's not useful in allot of places when you play the game "normally" but could still be used creatively in a few places. Even with infinite height allowed I'm not sure that Kung Lao is the best character in "All Medallions" because the small amount of time he could save in a few areas (with the glitch) he might lose that time on the boss fights.
Modded you. Do what you gotta do man!
I'm subscribed to these forums, so I'll be around.
Changed the old any% runs into all medallions with rules posted. Added all medallions to hard. Deleted "Alternatively, the player may show the in-game time on the save file after the credits" because the game does not save your IGT after completion.
Hey, I'm looking to start digging into the Any% run soon. Is there a guide anywhere explaining this glitch in further detail and how to perform it or anything explaining the route beyond the one uploaded video? I assume based on the rules that timing is IGT and not RTA?
@theboyks Try getting a hold of GameGlitchGuy through one of this listed contact methods. He knows more about this glitch than I do, but I don't think he's subscribed to this game.
