Here is the TTC 8'52 non-TAS run by cyberwrath: http://download.yousendit.com/FAE9FA896462DED7
Sorry that I used yousendit instead of providing a direct link.
I haven't watched the latest WIP, so I don't know if there is any new strat in the vid that Sami doesn't use.
He didin't push witch switch, didin't take mumbo tokens and dont' finish the stage.
Thanks bkDJ. If someone worder why I walk to the bottles and go up and then down there is reason. I have to wait those eggs getting inside Leaky and if I go straight up and talk bottles, those eggs wont go inside Leaky. That is very weird because I dont' chance camera angle :/
I did it ;) I get combine Bottles and Leaky cutscenes :D
That was really hard trick. Every angle and Banjo place must be perfect because eggs bounsing randomly.
Well it looks like you nailed everything, especially picking up jiggies in flying mode which is a bitch to do on console.
Only thing I can think of - if you can get lucky enough with the hippo, you can acquire the jiggy during the cutscene if he's standing in the right place when you throw your treasure to him.
Do you think my route is best possible in TTC?
I try manipulate Captain Blubber come closer but its hard :P
Damn. Now I allmost fix half level because ladder mistake, there are new timesavers >.<
That Leaky timesaver I have really think because it's earlier as chest Jiggy where I have really serious freezing problems.
My sloppy test run is complete. time is 9.27 WR time is 11.05. I don't put my test run here because it's really sloppy :D I found best route I think :)
JSmith: I can't do that glitch when I get purple Jingo because water level is raised so there is not slope anymore :/
I should have mentioned this earlier, but on the ladders in TTC with notes along the edges, if you jump at the edge of the stairs by the notes in talon trot, you'll slide all the way up and collect the notes, because the tiny platforms on the staircase give you a boost by ejecting you upwards. I think this would save around 1.5 seconds over the three ladders.
Damn :/ I have some freezing problems in TTC so if I start fixing that problems appears again -_- but I think that when CC test is over.
Now I start make a Clanker's Cavern test run. I don't even bother make a map because only who can understand it is me :D
Haha, my own route (Line 134) cuts over 2:30 off marsh's, and I only skip the honeycombs (and walk right past both of them anyway). You're not the only one who knows this level. :P
Meh, I watched your TTC test run, and had some notes on that, but I noticed you uploaded a new wip, so I will watch that before giving my notes, so I can see first what you changed. I have not had much chance lately for speed running, on account of I am sick and busy with a site, but I should be able to watch this soon.
Though I should note, inside Nipper's shell in the test run -- awesome. Seriously, you just trot in there all casual-like, pummel one crab and swipe the other, grab the Jiggy and walk out of there while they're still writhing around on their backs. Total badass. :D
I have diffrent route as you have. What is your time when you exit the level. I tell when my test run is finished
