Bar Brawl strat
4 years ago
Poland

Sorry if that was already discussed, but can anyone try if a strat I uploaded can be faster? I know you need to make a clothes replay (which is 3.1s as I saw in another video) and you have to use Infernus instead of PCJ, but did anyone check which strat is faster? I would check it myself but I'm just a noob, who can't do it consistent. I throw a grenade in a cutscene if anyone wonder.

Well, yes. But if you get a nice setup, you can throw a grenade in a cutscene, and rush to your Infernus (I don't know how far is the closest point in which it won't despawn, sadly). You might be in a car before a cutscene ends.

Not having the PCJ for the next two drives will easily lose all the time you gain from this strat, not even factoring in the lost time from making a clothes replay.

Poland

OK, thanks. Just wanted to ask. :)

Poland

OK. I think I got it though. First you can easily get time wasted for a clothes replay back by breaking a cutscene in a bar like in first video. Then the second video surely has to show a faster way. It's very inconsistent now, but I believe community will find a way to make it better.

The first part is over 3 seconds slower compared to normal strat (due to making the clothes replay) and the second clip is only 1 second faster wich is still +2s.

Poland

The first video is faster than a WR by 2s. And about the second: you compare the best player to a total noob. I wasted at least 2 seconds, cause I didn't know where enemies are, and how to kill them the most efficiently. Also I believe it would be better to get off the bike right away, shoot them and get back on. Also you're much closer to a next mission at that moment, so that's another 1-2s. If anyone wonders my input was "d" when a cutscene started, and then still hold "d" and add "w" when a camera changes.

And BTW, my replay is much too long, cause I prefer to wait a little before pressing F2 again, and I'm playing on an HDD. All those things should count.

Poland

When I said 2s I was talking only about a marker part. But still. I'm 3s behind. Then you say I'm 1s better, and I was playing terrible at that moment, I was moving a bike back for like 2.5s without any reason, and my shooting wasn't efficient at all. And you have to add a time for being closer, and a few more for long loading, and long replay. I'm not saying I have to be right, I would just want someone with much more experience to try it, cause it feels faster.

Oglądałeś w ogóle drugi film? Nie tracę PCJ.

Making the replay shouldn't lose much time since you kinda wait for the call to end anyway, and the chainsaw thing would be p epic if you get em both in succession

I did get them both 2 times, and it's easier and sadly slower, as their bikes keep driving until the end of a cutscene.
