South Yorkshire, EnglandHow to bloodbowl:
I had a thought a few weeks ago of phone-call starting bloodbowl to take advantage of gaining control during the opening scene of the mission and getting to the first marker before the opponents. Of course, this would be deemed slower than just starting bloodbowl and getting lucky with the markers and hoping the other cars don't snatch the time bonus away. But hey, ffzPussyStrats
How to remove traffic from the roads:
The most interesting discovery after playing around with this strategy (or more likely my fails) was that the roads seemed somewhat empty. When this occurred I had failed bloodbowl by getting wasted which spawns you just outside the stadium.
So to partially remove traffic from the roads, simply phone-call start bloodbowl twice (2) and get yourself wasted as soon as the mission begins. There's a problem of the mission flag in doing so and starting any other mission, main or side, will crash the game so you'll need to either pass the mission on the second instance (leaves a big grey box on the screen) or simply let the timer run out.
To completely remove traffic from the roads, phone-call start blood-bowl 3 times but you'll notice on the 3 time you'll be unable to move and/or get wasted. This is important to ensure the mission flag is off to prevent the game from crashing when starting any main or side mission. Additionally, phone-call starting and getting wasted once gives CJ 30+k MP5 ammo (not like that is any use).
Known problems: There's no cars except for fix spawn car locations (ofc). Switch to the MP5 on the second start-up or else the weapon you're currently holding will be equipped in the car making it more difficult to get wasted. Passing the mission on the second instance leaves a the grey box of the result of bloodbowl on screen.
In the video I show how to phone-call start bloodbowl and also complete a main mission (Jizzy) to demonstrate it's application. I mess around with police stars and you'll notice a lack in police presence on 6¤s.
Any thoughts on implementing the strategy for any% & 100% would be welcomed but I understand being stranded in the middle of the desert is not exactly fast. Although, this strategy should make optimal IL's easier to achieve.
I believe the Cholo's were attacking the Sharks while I was trying to take over this particular business. After killing the other Victor's, I entered the Empire and the game hardlocked. Cool game.
Bubblebobbler: I match your one Toni and raise you many Victor's :)
Also, I was testing the teleport glitch when this occurred to time taking over businesses earlier in the run.
I was using the Vice Port warp glitch after Nice Package -> Three business near Leafy Links -> Deathwarp -> Balls
Not only is it slower (~30secs) but it would also lose more time on the drive from the end of Blitzkrieg Strikes Again to Lost and Found. It would be possible to change the route order (Blitzkrieg Strikes Again -> So Long Schlong -> Lost and Found -> Domo Arigato Domestoboto -> In the Air Tonight) but doing so would lose 90secs on the current route.
Any% strats from the end of "Jive Drive" to the start of "The Audition". Entering any building (safehouse or Ammunition) will extinguish the fires on the Vice City map. Firstly, you need to make the fires spawn so getting into a firetruck is a must. Secondly, the Cheetah will despawn after the cutscene so I'd advise putting it inside the safehouse garage. Lastly, enjoy a Cheetah during this mission.

Yet another firefighter skip in the 3D era of Grand Theft Auto. Unlike other 3D GTA's (including Liberty City Stories), you're able to exit the emergency vehicle for a maximum of 30 seconds. Entering any building (safehouse or Ammunition) will extinguish the fires on the Vice City map. This method will also extinguish fires on the mission "Hose the Hoes": http://www.speedrun.com/gtavcs/thread/6kx30 I've tried using the same method on Fire Copter but this mission works a little differently and I've been unable to get this to work.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
