ItalyHi, I'm new to the game. Is Lone Wolf allowed in any categories? I don't find it mentioned in any thread or game rule. Thank you and have a great day.
You clearly didn't practice at all so nice run! Keep trying and you will see progress.
it turns out this is not 6.000, that's why it felt so hard to replicate.
It is now clear that individual levels are not timed properly. Since those levels are very short, full precision at 30fps is necessary.
I propose the following criteria:
- first frame (frame A) is the frame in which Flagman is in reset position. This is the start position of the level and it is ALWAYS available, even without pressing "reset" and even if there is a setup like the boss boost;
- last frame (frame B ) is the frame in which Flagman touches the opened door, and it is determined by the presence of the black border. The black border is star shaped and it determines the end transition of the level.
Also, I suggest that all future full runs (glitchless and any%) are timed the exact same way. First, a check of all the run is done by eye, to see if all rules are respected. Then, frame A and frame B are determined, with frame A the first frame in which Flagman is in reset position in level 1, and with frame B the last level ending, at the appearence of the black border.
Do you agree? Maybe we need one more moderator to help retime all individual levels.
This is probably almost frame perfect, it's crazy how hard is to replicate
Definitely beatable, so one of these days one of us will break the record :p
As already mentioned before in other threads, It's possible to use the reset button or menu button to basically conserve the vertical speed in flagman.
This opens a possibility to perform the "boss boost".
Here an example which clearly shows how powerful can be for individual levels.
I found them all :p
Yea this boss is a pain, it's very inconsistent. I actually hate this level :p lucky I found that glitch for any% category, because I'm not going to try this boss again, not soon at least.
that's very cool, I was wondering if one could apply the first jump also after the flag drop. You did it.
I can start telling you that you may check runs from individual levels and also from the glitchless run category, so that you can see how me and others defeat the boss.
As you can see, the boss can kill a run easily. This game is far from optimized from a speedrun perspective and you should not try to get a level frame perfect. Start by just trying to get clean runs, then you should try to dive deep into perfect corner cuts, jumps etc...
Another thing important is to understand the timing. When you hit the boss, there is a cooldown in which he blinks and is basically immune to damage. If you don't wait enough time and try to damage him, you will just die. You don't have to wait the blinking effect to stop, check my run to see this in action.
With good timing, you should give him 4 hits before he starts going to the left side of the map. You can defeat him before he reaches the left side, but it is not that easy.
