Jak & Daxter | Any% |

This happened faster than I expected...
Only day 6 of runs, but still went through a whole lot of frustration to get it.
Finally got the time I wanted to push for almost 2 years ago!

Oh right, I kinda forget to drop a comment rundown of where it goes from here... So this was pretty good, maybe not quite as clean as my previous PB but it does have some harder strats in FCS. It does also feature a much more consistent strat in Volcanic Crater which was by far the worst split in my previous run, so that's where most of the timesave came from. A reaaally sick run with these strats could go sub 15:40, but I'm not gunna push for that at the moment. Adding in new strats from the TAS could lower it even more, by anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds depending on what you add, but everything we could add is pretty ridiculous, and I really mean that. I've given the jump over the boulder in Mountain Pass some work, but I don't feel any better about it than I did before, so it might be a while before I add that in as it'll make this already very very hard run totally stupid (if I ever add it in). My current objectives are just to keep playing Jak 1 Any% occasionally to stay sharp on FCS, while I derust and really improve my Jak 2 & 3 Any% times in order to go for some Trifecta runs in the near future! If I manage to PB again in Jak 1 while doing that, then great, but I'm not gunna grind for a PB again in the category at this time.

Have you beat this yet?

9:40 I always love seeing new tech in this game. This community is nuts, bravo to the peeps who figure this stuff out lol. Nice performance on this run mate!

[@The_Stellar]

Thanks, and yeah rarely are the things in these runs found by me or other world record contenders it's often other runners/glitch hunters behind the scenes!

Excellent job gg

[@bagginshield8251]

What’s the purpose of the long pauses for lava tube? Sick run btw!

[@The_Stellar]

Setting up a trick called an "Idle Deload", which requires standing still waiting for the idle animation to play (the dances Jak & Daxter do after you are idle for 30 seconds). If you ever see someone standing still for 30 seconds in this game, it's almost certainly for that reason.

[@iPhoneFactoryYT]

do the lavatube zoomed backwards to the lavafall and get the blue eco and try the citadel skip

[@The_Stellar]

Yes that is faster, no I wont be doing that any time soon :)

[@iPhoneFactoryYT]

@@The_Stellar what is the consistency someone could do it?

[@The_Stellar]

@@iPhoneFactoryYT The trick at the end itself is pretty inconsistent, it's not even in the world record of No LTS. It is in other world records (like Orbless for example), so it has been done in top level runs, but it saves so much more in those categories. In this category it would save

You’re insane dude GGs. Glad I caught this live
