Stolen [PC], Any% (Segmented Run) - 1:10:25
2This is a segmented run. Everytime you see a red box in the bottom left corner of the video, a splice has occured.
This run was done for the RouteBreaker event done by the Italian Speedrun Community.
In this event two teams competed against each other in finding new skips and strats for the game. Both team had to create a segmented run (both shown in the live event) and select a runner to play the game live in a RTA race.
We both used RivaTuner to cap the game at 60fps but we both capped the game at 15fps to perform a few laser skips. In the video there is a clip in which I forgot to cap the game at 60fps, oops :)
The biggest time saves compared to AnyaRomanov's run comes from better movement and better enemies cycles. We also decided to restart from the last checkpoint to reset enemies position to have better cycles, so if you see a reset it's most likely due to that. Other than those things, we found a few glitches and skips that were used for the run:
19:08 - Fall damage cancel: if you crouch when falling, Anya will land without taking any damage. Here is an example of this glitch but this has been used in multiple occations throughout the run
19:41 - Sonar unlocking doors: this is the biggest skip we found. Normally the door to access the terminal is blocked from the outside but it's unlocked from the other. To access that room you need to do some parkour and enter from the top, but if you interact with another section of the level (like exiting and re-entering the room or using the sonar on a door) the door will be unlocked also from the outside. This glitch works also with other doors in the game but this is the only one useful for this run.
44:40 - Laser skip: this skip is possible with lower framerate. We decided to go with 15fps because the skip was easily done with this framerate, but it should also work with 20fps. For sure it doesn't work with 60fps.
1:03:01 - Another laser skip.
1:12:10 - Bonus clip: after loading a save Anya's animations were completely gone, I have no idea why lol
