Hello There! Kinda new in the speedrun community, and I thought RER would be my first game to speedrun (even though there isn't much active speedrunners...)
My question is, is there a consistent way to dodge? Cause even though most of the time I can dodge ennemies attack, sometime, it just look like Jill doesn't want to do it, even when I spam forward + "action" ... Does someone have any tips?
All I can offer is my anecdotal evidence. For me it seems like dodging is more consistent when you're directly facing the enemy and you're pretty close to them. Spamming hasn't worked well for me either. Just finding right timings and having good reads on the wind up animations.
Also, if you're playing on Casual, you only need to tap forward. Forward + action is for Normal and up.
I believe i made a video about dodging it should be in the guide section in a playlist.
Timing is different for each enemy.
Before you perform a dodge though stop holding forward and hold it again very fast. You should see jills run animation change before i dodge on the video.
Well, thank you for your replies, I'll try to work that a bit more... Is there a discord server, or any other social media where people talk about speedrunning of that game? or is this forum the only place?
If you need anything just ask in discord in the #revelations channel
Honestly...it just takes timing and practice. I never do the action+forward when I dodge..it is easier to face the enemies and stay still for a second to dodge. What I recommend is going to raid mode and playing as Diver Jill (she has a normal dodge stat) and practice with all enemies and all their attacks..I learned most of my timing from raid mode and trying to do trinity runs etc.
