AdrianVG Stream Highlights 5 - PS2 Killer7 Edition
13PS2 Killer7 Videos Playlist: • PS2 Killer7 Videos
Stream Highlights Playlist: • AdrianVG Stream Highlights
Here is a compilation of PS2 Killer7 glitches I've come across in the last few years. Due to Twitch's new storage limits, I've been archiving my Twitch channel, and I realized I had quite a bit of PS2 Killer7 footage. As such, I decided to kill two birds with one stone: make a single video that is both PS2 Killer7 documentation and a stream highlights video.
PS2 clips can be found in Stream Highlights 2 ( • AdrianVG Stream Highlights 2 - Killer... ) and the PS2 Killer7 Videos playlist ( • PS2 Killer7 Videos ). I recommend checking them out first as many of the glitches shown here are variations of already-documented anomalies.
With one exception, all of these videos were recorded on my PS2 Slim with the discs. Not only that, these clips cover all three PS2 versions: North American (NA), European (PAL), Japanese (JP). While I'd like to say that every glitch shown is possible on every PS2 version unless otherwise stated, I can't quite make that claim as I haven't tested every glitch on every version. That being said, since many of these glitches are variations of one another, it's probably safe to assume so within a reasonably margin.
The clips are arranged in a broadly chronological order with their original titles; I couldn't get the exact day for every clip, but the month/year are fairly reliable. I also did not edit them beyond the original highlighting.
JP Emu - "Did the thing fall again?" [August 2018] (0:00)
Not only is this the sole emulator clip, it was previously included in Stream Highlights 4 ( • AdrianVG Stream Highlights 4 - It's B... . I included it here as it fits this compilation better. This sound glitch *can happen on console*, but I didn't have a good highlight, so I took the easy route and re-used this clip. Unlike most of the other glitches here, I have only seen this one on JP PS2.
NA - "Did Con just say something?" [March 2020] (0:25)
NA - Can't pause...? [July 2021] (1:20)
The right stick sometimes gets stuck on PS2, possibly due to it not always resetting to neutral. It's also possible this is why I couldn't pause.
NA - Bizarre sound effect glitch 2 [July 2021] (4:32)
The sequel to Bizarre sound effect glitch: • PS2 Killer7 - Bizarre sound effect gl...
Still utterly baffling to me.
NA - Laser dying from Bombhead [July 2021] (7:54)
Not a glitch, more of a curiosity.
NA - Hitstun canceling [July 2021] (8:19)
Hitstun mashing/canceling exists in GCN/PC/PS2: upon getting hit, mashing buttons/rotating the analogue stick will save a little time. For whatever reason on PS2, hitstun mashing is absurdly good.
JP - Random Con sound effect during load screen [July 2021] (8:35)
JP - Collateral Shot sound effect glitch [July 2021] (9:05)
JP - yet another ps2 audio glitch [March 2022] (12:23)
NA - Dream cancel [March 2022] (12:45)
Can also happen on GCN/PC! [Need to make a clip]
NA - Strange beeping after dying to Speed Smile [March 2022] (14:28)
Died due to the right stick getting stuck, naturally.
PAL - Angel Leaving Bathroom Con Voice Line [March 2022] (15:00)
This clip doesn't fully show it, but after flushing the toilet, your character automatically faces the door: • PS2 Killer7 - Normal Speed Run in 3:1... The same thing happens after finishing the terminal passwords in Smile 2.
NA - Kaku Basement sound effect weirdness [April 1, 2022] (15:23)
NA - Freeze at Kaku Building Panel [April 1, 2022] (15:53)
NA - Cloudman Micro weirdness [April 1, 2022] (19:09)
Although I said "sound effects," the real glitch is the shot getting deflected off the Micro. My theory is that the Micro has a scripted entrance where it is invincible, and I shot it during that entrance.
NA - Sunset 2 Micro Shot Deflection [April 3, 2023] (19:26)
NA - Cloudman Micro Deflection [April 3 2023] (19:35)
JP - Angel Parking Garage Weirdness [June/July 2023] (19:51)
JP - Angel Harman's gun sound effect missing and Kun Lan's model [June/July 2023] (20:33)
NA - Cloudman Missing Coyote Gun Shooting Sound Effect [June/July 2023] (25:15)
NA - Encounter 2 Missing Con Running Sound Effect [June/July 2023] (28:10)
Another glitch to note:
In a Normal speed run, both the wind and fire sound effects got stuck for a while: • PS2 Killer7 - Normal Speed Run in 3:1...
It seem like every time I play the PS2 version(s) of Killer7, I find something strange and new. Despite (or perhaps because) of its glitches and flaws, Killer7 on PS2 has its own strange charm to it. Looking over these highlights again, I experienced a mixture of fun and confusion, so I hope you all enjoy them, too!
