Gex 3 PS1 Wrong Warp Setup?

Ok, great. :) So what are your thoughts on having just the NTSC WW in the video or both the PAL and NTSC WW in? If we do both then could you upload the PAL version without the text as well? Thanks :D

Since the Donkey TV Cancel also only works on NTSC, it would maybe actually be better to just put the NTSC Setup in the video. You could then maybe just put the link to the PAL Setup in the description (And mention it in the video) :P

Also, I did the PAL setup in a normal run I tested on emulator, and it didn't work this time on NTSC emulator. Maybe I just got a lucky savestate when I recorded/tested it, or other things may also influence the Wrong Warp. It definitely works 100% on PAL console (and emu?) though :)

Also, in Army Channel we would get 2 Remotes and 3 Coins, just like in No ID. But would skipping the Cutscene (after hitting all tents) be faster? I think it wouldn't be faster, and the fastest way I THINK would be: Destroy all tents and get hit 3 times from the mines. Go to the Coin in the 2nd area (ontop of that climbable wall) and get hit to respawn beside the TV. After that just the No ID route (Tank Remote + Coin in Tank area, then enter level again and collect last Coin in the underground).

Ok, that makes sense to me :) That is interesting about the PAL setup not working on the NTSC emulator. So that setup only works with just that one savestate that you have created? I tested your way in the Army Channel and it appears that your way is 5 seconds faster then the old way, great thinking :) I also timed if the snowboard skip is faster or not in Holiday Broadcasting and it appears that going on the snowboard could possibly be faster in a TAS due to it being at the same speed with Gex’s karate kick. When you are on the board, it seems like the gates and the bonus coin have a wider hitbox as well. What do you think about me being on the snowboard or not? If so, I’ll talk about the snowboard skip in the description :D

What way seems to be 5 seconds faster? Not skipping the cutscene in Army Channel? :) I personely hate being on the snowboard because it is so hard to hit the elves with it for me. But I don't know, I personely would just do the snowboard skip and mention that it's easier without snowboard, but maybe a little bit faster with snowboard :)

Not skipping the cutscene, getting the bonus coin and then respawning is 5 seconds faster :) I will do the snowboard skip and mention that it is easier. For the video, I did mini segments and it appears that this category can go down to a 25:xx.

The title will be “Gex 3 New PS Any% Route”. At the beginning of the video, it says “This video is meant to show the new Gex 3 Any% route for the PS version, nothing else. Please read the video description for more info. Thanks!” and at the Wrong Warp part of the video, it says “Tigame's NTSC Version Wrong Warp Setup Video. The NTSC Version and the Pal Version Setups are in the Description.” Is that good? :D

That sounds great :D Doesn't have to be an totally good edited video, as you said it is just meant to show the new Gex 3 route we came up with :)

Also, that it can come down to sub 26 is amazing! I thought sub 30 would be possible, but that it can go "sub No ID" is amazing! :D

The Rez Strat you used in your last 100% run are the fastest, right?

Yeah, it is great that this category can sub the No ID WR :D But the runner had to have an extremely insane run to get a 25 though, having very few minor mistakes. 26 can happen for sure though and it is amazing that this category can go this low :)

The Rez Strat that I used wasn’t the fastest. The fastest strat that I use is this: Bounce on the first fly TV and eat the bug. Shoot at Rez and then tailwhip the TV to get a fly around Gex. After you have the fly going around Gex, go towards Rez. Go to the left side of Rez. Line yourself up in a certain spot right next to the platform that have the next fly TV. When Rez’s shoulders go up, that is your cue to get within range where Rez will open the target again. After hitting Rez again, make sure to eat the fly after Rez has his target covered up or else you will run out of time. Keep on getting within range and hit Rez 2 more times. Next when Rez has his shoulders up, it is time to make a jump to the platform that has the fly TV. I prefer a karate kick to get there. Tailwhip the TV to get another fly and eat the fly. Shoot at Rez the final time. This strat saves around 20 seconds faster then the one that I used in my latest 100% run but the last jump if failed can loose a lot of time.

There are also many ways on hitting Rez 5 times just as fast. I’ll do the strat that I just described to be in the video. I also want to show the 100% ending for fun, is that ok with you? :D

Thanks for explaining, that sounds good! And I don't mind if you put the 100% ending in the video :D

Awesome showing of the route! Did you really play all of this in one "run" except the Wrong Warp and the Final Level? Because that would be a REALLY good run until WW then :D

N64 Rules Update

Hey everyone. There have been a few rules updates/clarifications, mostly regarding N64 categories.

  • [N64] Item duplication is now allowed in No Wrong Warp, No TV-Cancel and All Remotes. It remains banned in 100% and No Item Duplication, as it would defeat the purpose of those categories.
