What is "Super Object Throw"?
3 years ago

I'm thinking about running glitchless (currently run no sla) and the rules say super object throw is a glitch. I'm not sure what that is, so I might know how to do it but don't know that so I accidentally do it in a run. I would also wanna do it in no sla because im guessing it's a good cube throw so could someone tell me what it is and how to do it? I also checked resources and the speedrunning doc and couldn't figure out what it is.

tldr is I wanna know what super object throw is and how to do it because I can't find it anywhere online.

its like a normal cube throw but you put the momentum of releasing crouch into it and it causes a really powerful throw. i think not 100% sure

Ok so basically you start crouched, then uncrouch and throw it? I thought it was just left clicking for some reason because for a while I didn't know that threw it further than E lol

Okay so 12 cube throw is gonna be alot easier next no sla run. Also I did a glitchless run, got 27:27.82, but of course obs didn't start recording when I clicked the button :|, but is that good for my first run?

That is a good first run, but remember that every run is always improvable, no matter how good it is.

That always helps me continue on my journey and I hope it helps you continue yours! 🙂

Yeah I know it could be improved, I didn't learn any strats, only knew from bad no sla strats and watching ripper_pheonix, zoochable, and ericpr46 on twitch. In e02 the turret wasn't aiming at me when under the platform for the last 2 cores, had a low fps, and 16... Well I didn't do any strats, just intended, then at the end I died and forgot to save so I had to wait for the dialogue again. Probably could've been a 24-26 if I had done those 2 things better, and not done 08 intended.

Also I hate 18 glitchless more than 17 now because for some reason I couldn't shoot through the gap in the door when the camera was keeping it open.

Practice is the best way to go!

The thing is I can't do a bunch of runs at once, I get tired after just one run lol, and I feel less tired after a coop run with my cousin, which makes it hard to do lots of runs and see what I can do better.

My run just got rejected because of a superthrow I did in 13, when I didn't do a super throw, what should I do about this? (video is here if u wanna see it )

When performing a super throw, throwing a prop and then pressing "+use" key it makes it go further, a way to check it is the fact that it makes a sound when throwing it and I was fairly sure that the sound was present on the last 2 throws you made.

I rewatched chamber 13 and I heard the use sound on the second to last throw, and also it didn't go any further than a normal throw, if you go into the game, look at a 45 degree angle, walk forwards and jump it can overshoot, not all the time but sometimes, so I don't think I did super throw.

That was a super throw yeah. the sound you hear is basically you picking the cube back up and throwing it again, making it go much further. It can indeed overshoot with a normal throw as well, but I'm pretty sure this is a super throw. If you want you can submit demos so we cna check properly, but off of the proof we have, that is a super throw.

I really don't think the last one was a superthrow, I think with the angle and me moving forwards and jumping it would've overshot, and I only heard the sound of picking it up in the second to last one. I don't have demos for this so is the only solution to get another PB or submit my first glitchless run?

Eh I'm trying to move to portal elevators because my friend is running that and there's less downtime so I might just not submit another run then (to glitchless at least because im too lazy to download the auto demo recorder, still going to submit inbounds no sla probably). At least portal 2 has built in demos which means my laziness won't stop me.

Audio requirements

Starting today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
