Hey!
Today I've decided to record a little yt vid to show my friend what basic portal speedrunning looked like (no crazy setups cough e01 turret glass break cough) and being the lazy guy I am I've just recorded it in challenge mode so as not to mess around with livesplit and obs. Now, I intended to use the double fling on the second flinging section (without going to the room on the left) but I managed to do it in a single fling. Is this "super jump" glitchless or inbounds?
It fits glitchless rules. Though I don't understand why you go to the spot through walking instead of just portalling.
Well, about 10 minutes after uploading this I've learned how to do the fling right after the lift and got a 31...Doidn't record, though. I've also learned how to do the ch. 14 skip from the elevator and some more consistent setups in the escape sequences. The last thing is to learn how to do the skip that makes all pistons stationary and with a good run I should be able to do a sub-20. My 24 was timed with pauses and was poorly optimized, so that shouldn't be an issue :P
"how to do the skip that makes all pistons stationary" it's trigger-based. Use showtriggers_toggle to see the triggers and to learn which triggers makes the piston moving. 31 is still high, though. Don't worry you will get sub 20 with enough practice.
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.
