Hi, I'm really new at speedrunning GTAV so... For the rules, I'm not able to say anything, and in fact I don't even know if the DLCs that were in console versions are included directly in PC version...

I just would like to say that you (zoton2) said me on witwix's chat that any% NMS was actually the most popular category, and it's not classic%. When I first came on the speedrun.com's GTAV main page, the category that was showed as the main category was Classis%, but in fact, it was not. But perhaps I just didn't understand what you said, and Classic% is still the main category, but any% NMS is more popular for the moment...

Also the Classic% guide by ToriksLV that is one month old looks already outdated. He says to buy couple grenades after the mission Complications and to use them to deathwarp after Daddy's Little Girl. Perhaps this is the only outdated part because you said me that Classic% was outdated so I looked at the differences between Classic% and NMS and, until, the long stretch, that's all I saw, and I didn't look further :P

ok, thanks :)

Thanks a lot for all your anwers :D

I will continue to practice this game butI won't run Trevor%, just because my favourite missions come after the run ends, so I prefer to learn it my way :P Also I set for the moment the population density to the minimum, but I will try to check sometimes if the rule has changed.

Also, when I looked at the Dekap's run I saw he moves the camera under the car... Is tihs important or it doesn't matter?

Hi!

I recently played GTAV thanks to the PC release and after having finished it in one week, I wanted to try to speedrun it in Classic%. I went on speedrun.com, quickly looked at the begining of the Dekap's run (not the wr because I downloaded Dekap's splits and I wanted to see where to split) and I checked the first link of the section Guides. I learnt lots of things about the ways to be faster but I have some questions that are not answered (or I didn't see the answers, in this case I'm sorry ^^)... Also I have some questions about the way to learn the run.

Why to do the mission Pulling Favors? Is PC version slower than old gen (just to know)? Because it looks like some things have been fixed (for instance, in the mission Complications they added a plant on the wall that allows to climb dirctly in the house, without killing anyone, but their is just to park the car next to the wall and jump on the car to climb that wall), but with loading times... Also in the PC version you can set the population density, does it change the traffic density too? If yes, is their a specific setting to have for the run to be legit?

I think I didn't forget to ask anything about the run itself, but I also have some questions about the way to learn it. The indicated route to go from a point A to a point B is apparently never the one indicated by the game. Did you learn by rote every optimal trajectory or you know the map by rote? And is it more important to learn the optimal trajectories of the full run or to know the strats of the missions?

Here are all the questions I have for the moment... Thanks to answer the questions you know the responses :)

I asked sovlo again and he said me he was to bad to get a certain saw cycle et the end of the level, and he gets it with this strat. I still don't know if a full second is saved for him, but time is saved for sure. You can see what I mean in his actual PB.

Also, I found another strat wich could save the same kind of time but I don't know where to post it... Should I create a new forum for every possible strat? Or maybe it could be interresting to take all the existing strats and to put them somewhere for beginners, dans in the same place we could post ideas...

Hey! I wanted to try the spawn glitch in some levels, and I found that: (sorry for the quality of the video :/ )

Do you think it could be useful? You gain a small time with the walljump at the begining of 5-7, and maybe a little bit of time with the cycles at the end of 5-7 (I never did a "perfect" 5-7 with the spawn glitch so I am not sure at all). But, you lose a bit of time making a pause-buffer, and you lose a bit of time finishing 5-6 with a slide, because you have to go on the wall, and that is longer than finishing directly the level.

I already asked Sovlo, and he said me that it could make gain one second.
