Phoenix, AZ, USA@Fioressa Thanks. With the Chief Engineer one I think your route is probaby faster with optimization, but I think that mine is probably slightly easier to pull off and is probably better for full game runs.
Currently the rules say that throwing an item doesn’t count as beginning the run, but only moving counts as the beginning. However the personal teleporter is a throwable item so technically someone could throw the teleporter instead of walking and still not have "started the run". I suggest you add an exception in the rules regarding the personal teleporter do that people don't use this loophole. Thanks
The Personal Teleporter, which is obtained via COR-V tokens, may be able to be used for some interesting time saves. The first of which is a large time save in The GrayWater Blacksite or Mission 18. It is very useful for skipping the laser section and an entire section of the level. It could probably be used on the Train level too. For now though here’s the video of the level. And for the moderator, I will submit a new run for the Mission 18 level on the leaderboard, so please review the video and approve it when you have the time. Thank you.
Yeah. So far with all my testing I've stumbled upon a few glitches. None of them are extremely useful but it show that there are definitely some pontential applications and I could at the very least take off a couple of minutes. Maybe even skip a whole level.
Update: So far I haven't found any sequence breaks. The biggest use for it is sections with lasers that are supposed to be avoided. You can use the Personal Teleporter to skip those. But other than that it appears that the the people at PixelBite did a pretty good job at preventing the player from doing things they aren't supposed to. If anyone does find something though please do post it in a forum as it's possible there's some sort of strat taking advantage of the item.
How much could the teleporter be used in Any Gear Speedruns? In this game there is a Personal Teleporter (unlocked by Cor V machine) that can be thrown and it teleports the player to wherever it lands. There are couple interesting things that can be done with it like skipping over certain stealth sections and enemy encounters. But what I'm more interested in is if it can lead to any large sequence breaks or in any way skip certain sections. I'd have to do some experimenting but just off the top my head couldnt you use it to teleport past the wagon in the Barrel of Grog level and skip most of the level?
