SwedenI think it would be cool if viewers on-site could get to participate. Like "King of the hill" kind of competitions or challanges against speedrunners (not full runs but maybe a stage or a certain elemtent of a game). That is something I believe would increase the on-site attendence and overall interest for speedrunning. At the same time it also could provide the online audiance with something new and exciting!
I've recently figured something out concerning how Bosses block attacks.
In my route, this is valuable for the Blade and the Turk fight. On their last breaths, before they go down and stay down ("die"), they might start blocking your attacks alot more frequently than in the earlier phases.
How to get around this: Dash hit AFTER they rise!
What I often do wrong is that I initiate my hit BEFORE they rise. They will still get hit from the attack. The attack probably deal the same damage - BUT! The following attack is not as fast as it would have been if your attack hit while you were at dashing speed. When you attack before he rises, your attack will slow you down, and while writing this, I guess the first attack will not count as a dash attack? Seems logical. The secound attack will be alot slower, and most certainly be blocked. If it isn't blocked, I would assume it has to do with the distance between you and the boss, and also how far away you were from hitting the "sweet spot", when he rises.
Sorry for the wall of text and my english!
When do we get to know if we get our submissions accepted or not?
Hey there MyOhMyke! Really fun that you're thinking of picking up RCR! It's a fun game to play (can get really frustrating with gang patterns though)!
Someone might be better at explainin than me. I would prefer to show you :) If you ever happen to catch me streaming I would love to show you! But for now I'll give it a try to explain how I see it;
When you run at hit without stopping, your first hit will be concidered a dash hit and deal more damage. The secound hit after that gets faster if done properly, but will be condidered as a normal hit. For normal gangsters, a successful dash double hit will be enough to knock them over. But for bosses you'll need a 3rd hit.
One way of doing it is throwing the item you're holding. If you're using a tire/create/thrashcan, your attackspeed will not be enough for a third hit to cause them to fall down. But if you got the Iron Bar or the Chain, you can knock them over by hitting them with weapon 3 times, since their attackspeed is that high. If you're using knuckles, stone or wooden bat, I don't think it will be easy to knock them over with 3 hits in any way. You have to throw the item and combo in a run hit / run kick as a 4th hit, which might be really hard at first.
After you down a boss, like Rocko, you can keep downing him with 2 hits if you get a successfull dash double hit. If you're too close to him, I for one experience him to block more often. If you try to keep as close to the maximum hitting range as possible, your hits will be more concistently successfull.
PS: A useful hint! Anyone holding an item cannot block!
I've confirmed that the problem was me streaming in 60 FPS.
Also uploading the AmaREC VOD as I write this (its 16GB for just 8 minutes so it will take an hour to upload. Will add youtube link here when it's done) -edit- added link:
I get the same result when I time with Livesplit on the online twitch vod:
Is this because I stream at 60 FPS? Or is it because my bitrate can't support 60 FPS? I don't understand. I'll try stream some with 29.97 FPS.
I timed the local vod and it's all fine. So there's nothing wrong with Live Split. There's something with either Twitch or my Xsplit settings towards Twitch.
I don't have AmaREC local recordings because I did this under a practise session. But I do have the Xsplit vod:
(Its the last run in the vod. So you have to forward to ~09:10)

I did time the youtube clip after I uploaded it. No problems there either.
Bubbles like this?
What's the opinion of using powerpacks/everdrive for runs?

I'm not going to arrange any group trips, but if you want help with anything I'd love to help! Same goes for questions concerning activities here in Skövde, just send me questions in PM and I'll do my best to answer them!
If anyone is interested in working out during ESA, I could lead a Viking Expedition to the outside gym ^^
Other than that I plan to fix some on site events myself. Not going to spoil what those are yet though!! :]
If it's like past events I believe we won't have access to the areas marked in red (offices, storage rooms, theatre area).
The 2nd entrance was the one used for ESA 2014 when Freja and Loke were designated sleeping areas. If you open http://goo.gl/YmERj8 you stand in the main entrance.
