California, USAThanks for posting this. Yeah, its a shame that ch 2 will forever be locked, but let's be real here. Ch 2 was even worse and there wasn't as many opportunities to break the game
Sprint Jump: Running and jumping repeatedly while releasing sprint mid jump and reengaging it upon landing. Essentially doubles your movement speed and mitigates stamina loss. You can move the mouse to somewhat control where you're going in midair
Pause Falling: Pause the game at any point when near the ground after falling from a great height to prevent getting any sort of fall damage.
Who all is in favor of this? I've been doing runs already and I believe it's feasible. I think the only challenges would be the wolf trials. Those are nuts lol. Full run category would be brutal too. I don't see many people attempting that lol
We all knew this was coming. I've already got a few runs mapped out
Would be cool to have a category for IL, or the full training sequence.
Falconer and I were talking about this the other day and I think it would be a good way to not only get new people to speedrun this game, but encourage competition as well as make level grinds all the more fun to do.
that definitely sounds interesting, though if it's submitted, I feel like there should be a video or something showcasing it because people might think of it as cheating, especially SDA, but you never know. That is interesting though. I'll probably check it out and see what I can do with it. Idk if they patched it in later versions considering that preexisting glitches still occur in those versions as well.
I will say that I heard about this glitch before, but hardly anyone replicated it, especially for a run.
We finally got a game page up for this game. https://speeddemosarchive.com/MechWarrior2.html
Mewyabby has been very inactive even in the mech 2 page. Also sad that this message was written 3 years ago
Well, we now have a game page for Ghost Bear's Legacy on SDA. Hopefully this will get more people to run this game in the future.
this is the same time, I just decided to include the splits
Nice! Also, the first two trials can work with a normal campaign run since they're right at the beginning, so we could go by the first mech time, but idk if people would be willing to play the first couple of missions before attempting trial 2. Either way, I'm ok with it
We could do that for the trials, but the first one technically succeeds after taking out the first mech. The first 2 are also early game, so the player can still grind with relative ease. The third just seems weird since it can just be skipped. Idk, it's up to you whether or not you want to do a run of trial 3 or not
Any difficulty, no bloodright missions (for obvious reasons), using IGT for calculation. We have this in Mech 2 as well except we use medium difficulty for those. I think it's a fun way to practice this game and still compete for the fastest time. The only problems would be the trials since hitting F12 at the end doesn't really apply, plus trial 3 can be skipped entirely, so you'd probably have to be in the middle of the campaign to accurately time it. Here's an example:
@MattyAlanEstock jet tapping is when you rapidly tap the jet key and you can basically jet forever; however, it isn't as effective on modern hardware, and it uses up a considerable amount of jet fuel, so I think it should be allowed more or less. A ban for it would not be easily enforceable.
I mean, sure, but what would the rules be? Obviously medium and no jet sliding, but should we allow for jet tapping, or no?
