EDIT: Nevermind, no breakthroughs, definitely just a glitch uploading times with Steam. Just a bunch of casual players unintentionally doing something special to trigger this ;)
About half the top 100 scores on RE.net are 20 seconds on this fight for Steam only. I can't imagine getting below 40s.
Anyone know what's going on?
Haven't been able to find anything, seems like all the top runners in any scenario are getting around 45s.
Wasn't sure if there was a legit strat to knock this down by 20s, or if the boss fight timer triggers are being glitched somehow.
On NG+ I tested magnum, I can beat her in about 20-25 seconds, if you time her iframes you can kill her pretty much as she spawns in, on NG I pretty much perfected influencing her spawns and I can take her out in 40-45 seconds with the shotgun
No it's a bug I'm sure. I've near perfected it as you described, and you and I are sitting at about 36s for the fight (NG+ easy w/magnum). But even if I got 20s somehow in this scenario, there's even MORE people with near perfect 20s on madhouse lol.
20s on madhouse I don't know, but trust me 20s marg is entirely possible, 25 is more likely, I'll see if I can get it on video, it takes about 7 seconds for her to get out of the window, you can deal half her HP before then, another 8 seconds or so to get her to spawn downstairs and an easy 10 seconds once she's down from the hole
She does, she essentially always takes damage so long as you can see her model and something hitscans her; she can't die while currently in a stuck animation though, so if she's already part climbing out of the map she can't die, but will be taken to 1hp essentially.
She can't die when: on the ceiling, on her back on the floor, climbing in or out of the map, is screaming at you or loading her next move (e.g. She jumps back sometimes, she can't die during this jump load but once she lands she can). This is how I know you can kill her in like 20-25 seconds, if you can time her iframes like I've done, you can maximize damage done while she can't die, then when iframes are up, poof, one shot and dead.
In my NG+ runs sure I've had bad fights even the VODS show that, but during practice I've done it
Here's 36s for reference on easy NG+. It looks like the time starts when you jump down the hole, and ends the second her "crumble" animation starts.
Okay I see where you're saying "36". When I time a boss kill I time it from the moment the boss spawns in to the moment the boss death animation starts. That took you 17 or 18 seconds right there, there's no reason to count the time it takes to reach the boss from entering the area and the time you wait around for her to drop the item, this is also probably what the leaderboard does; it starts the timer when the boss enitity enters the map and ends when the boss hp reaches 0
