Mirson has had 2 runs in pending for a while now due to the fact that I have been stalling thinking of what to do with them, and I'm making this thread to type out my thoughts on the subject and see what others think about it (because I don't want to see those runs in pending anymore).

So, the runs use quitting and continuing to reset the in game timer to the time it was at when you first reach a checkpoint. This, in my opinion, is fine for certain situations (like if the game literally can not function after a certain checkpoint), but I kind of don't like the idea of using it to the point where it's technically faster to restart the level, but you keep a small IGT anyways.

I have two solutions for this. Solution #1 is a new rule that bans the use of quitting and continuing outside of situations that stop you from playing the game. Solution #2 is swapping the entire leaderboard to real time.

So let's talk about it.

I can't record anything for it right now, but I found a new oob that skips the fight before you enter the courtyard. It's kind of hard to get first try, but if you get it first try you can most likely save 7-10 seconds. I tried it while messing it up (which is pretty slow tbh) and I still saved 3 seconds over fighting everyone. There is also a VERY slim chance you can skip the whole courtyard fight altogether, but I'm honestly not sure how to do it. I spent 2 hours last night trying to find some way to do it and found nothing. I'd say there's a 20% chance of finding a courtyard skip here compared to the basically 0% chance before.

This is kind of hard not to mess up but if you don't mess up it's really worth it.

I'm just getting into running the alien campaign and I was wondering if you guys have any tips I can use. My Research Lab is really good already but I have a little bit of trouble in the later levels (especially Jungle) so any tips around the later levels would be great.

This is a really easy skip

I've been looking for a skip like this for a week and I finally found one.

I got really curious trying to find stuff and I found this. There's actually 2 different ways to go out of bounds, this way is the hardest way. If you go to the very top of the wall and go under the blue line you go out of bounds more consistent.

Although I didn't record it because I still don't have a capture card, I still want to tell you all what happened. I decided to run the full game any% new game+ because I basically only do IL runs. I messed up a lot in the beginning (if I remember right I got to sandman around 1:05:00). I messed up sandman and vulture a bit and then beat my scorpion PB by 20 seconds, and then on deadpool I skipped the tidal wave dialog by zipping to a pole and killing myself. After a pretty dreadful act 3 I went into mysterio really wanting to end the game, I ended with 8:51 and got a final time of 2:43:13. I'm really looking forward to actually recording a full game run now.

After taking a little break from running this game I'm going to work on getting 2 different times, a sub six on kraven and a low 7 on hobgoblin. I probably won't record it since I don't want to use up a bunch of memory recording on my phone. So instead of recording, I'll just take pictures if I do it and maybe some of you guys can try to record it, I'd give details on how to do it if needed. Here are my current pb's for the two levels (these are on easy). Kraven: 6:03 (not recorded) Hobgoblin: 7:45 (not recorded)

Wish me luck if you even care, I'll post the times in this thread if I get them.

Or some kind of role that can verify, I check the website regularly so I could review new runs within the same day of posting.

Hi, I just started running this game today and I'm loving it so far. The bad news of all of this is that I play the game on xbox 360 and I don't own a capture card at the moment. So my question is if I were to do something like an IL speed run could I take a screenshot of the time and submit it? and if not then could someone at least tell me about any cheap capture cards that I could use?

I took a pretty long break from the game to focus on other runs but it's been months since the last record was set. So I'm coming back to focus on optimization and finding new tricks to use in future runs. Maybe I'll find more things, I kind of lucked out with the double jump so I might luck out again. Hopefully I could get ALL of the records by November (you know, cause year and stuff). I'm putting this message here in the forums because I kind of want all of your help too. The more people we have doing this the faster we can lower times and get some world records under our belts.

I got the final hit on Wooly when he was half-way off screen and when I did, he disappeared, and game was stuck in the fanfare. If nobody knows about it they should be careful.
