Resident Evil 2 Remake - Hardcore Claire [2nd] Speedrun -

[@ghines38133]

Thanks for posting the imperfect run. It's not always fun to watch only perfect runs. Looking forward to this category

[@heathers.7755]

Run actually starts at 3:45

[@raptorrodger]

Heather S. Thanks , when he did the first run fail I was like what?

[@Shad0wmoses]

im glad im not the only one who loves how Irons says "Dors Lockttt!"

[@EricToTheScionti]

lol

[@underratedcritic1983]

What about how his face warps whenever you pause and skip that cut scene where he grabs Claire?

[@m4w5]

Dude i noticed the way he says loct and was like "I cant be the only one who feels this way when they hear loct" 😂

[@Maxelya]

I spent the whole run thinking : "Omg there's no way he is making it to the end with such bad luck, no ammo and no grenade launcher".

[@Man_3336]

I will always love this game over any other Resident Evil, this is my game.

[@19ninetynine]

I haven’t been interested in RE since the gamecube remaster and was really interested in VII but didnt get around to trying it, but I bought RE2 remake and I can’t put it down!

[@pushthebox]

Of all the RE speed runners, you and Dudley are my favorites. Very helpful!!

[@PatrikTothMaster]

Why am I watching this? And why do I suddenly feel the urge to try it myself?

[@billyshirley3769]

Patrik Toth it's harder than you think I thought I could literally just copy him but nope

[@animefan1836]

It ez bro Just copy his movement I dojt copy his gameplay though I copy top 1 pro speedrunner Ez boom. All S rank

[@ALISTOSmc]

Uploaded on my 29th Birthday!! Crazy run mate! the spirit of "Never Surrender"! Amazing

[@HenryMyth]

Hey thanks finally got S+ using this run as a guide. The knifes damage being tied to framerate made the first Birkin fight really frustrating on console, but I eventually did it.

[@freesir91]

Wtf so 3 slices kills the eye???!?!? Are you kidding me . I filled that thing with led

[@instrumentaldude8349]

Same problem and I can't beat him and the knife does not work for me so I have some serious questions about that 'hardcore' diffeculty in this playthrough...If I try to knife I instantly get eaten by Birkin

[@EdwardSpliffHands]

@@instrumentaldude8349 it has to do with his high framerate

[@wrxrob2589]

Knife does 3x times damage on PC

[@otakon17]

Only works on PC due to higher framerate, the knife hits on larger hitboxes do more damage and thr knife hits multiple times on higher framerates, ergo literally double to triple the damage.

[@alexandercatz5214]

Did on a regular old PS4 with the knife. You have to wait about 5-6 footsteps from the door then slash like crazy when he's close. Have to test on Leon but Claire for sure can do it.

[@sunbeames]

Leaving a like and comment as a form of thanks. Though i don't plan on speedrunning, I was able to unlock the le5 and minigun thanks to this video. Admittedly I deviated alot after getting to the cheifs office, but I don't think I would have been able to get there quite as fast otherwise.

[@drtofuu]

This ended up being a GREAT run, congrats Bawk!

[@wileecoyote5749]

Unfortunately he was found dead

[@ImASillyName]

The credit song is so sick

[@Rattattattatt]

LOL I ran out of bullets my first hardcore run on claire b, and I remembered seeing you use a knife. I looked up how you did it. I copy you and hit it three times, and it's still alive! Lol, so 4 hits later, it died and everything was all gooood. Thanks for the strat you saved my hardcore S run : )

[@jasonofa3633]

Yo, this was insaaaaane watching live. More optimizations to go, but you got this, Bawk!

[@odw1n307]

Birkin 3 oh boi :D Einstein and Hawking is impressed by your calculatingyour dmg output :D

[@DaithiSan]

Trying to replicate this on console is difficult, the controls aren’t as fast, can’t snap on enemies as quick :/

[@ouka6686]

Maximize your camera speed when not aiming, use control style C (R1/RB for running; L3 for ammo swapping), and get used to holding run and tapping O/B to quickly change directions and camera; when running it works in all 360 degrees. The aim part comes from pre-aiming by either looking slightly up or down. The biggest issues console runs into is actually the lack of increasing the FPS to deal bonus knife damage (most runners use 120fps), and the slower menuing/puzzles. The latter is actually slower on console since it seems to run at 30fps during those bits.

[@Shad0wmoses]

@@ouka6686 great idea...gna have to readjust my muscle memory. the L3 for running has always been so janky to me. always got me bit in really clutch scenarios when im trying to skirt past alot of things.

[@blueberryblues5644]

E1V1A knife is still strong and good to use, just doesn't delete bosses like it does here.

[@dustbagwx5186]

Well I must say that run was ridiculous like WTF!! The final part with 3 hits with the knife. You gotta be kidding me. My best 1:11:23 today.I get grenade launcher right away. Kept improving my time then hop on and see this. I probably give up. You are the winner. This looks nearly unbeatable.

[@dustbagwx5186]

I didn't give up. I just beat this haha!

[@benzi1521]

xwDUSTwx haha good job

[@ShaneChaffin]

I don't think I've ever seen a more interesting run of this game.

[@ryanbothwell1445]

Totally agree, this was wicked. Carcinogen does a no hits run for Leon that's pretty interesting as to how to tackle certain encounters without taking damage

[@Shad0wmoses]

@@ryanbothwell1445 yea when i saw his recent upload i was like finally something to help me out for that S+..then i realized some strats are still scary as fuck lol. and its mainly for pc.

[@anthonylai5719]

You are the man!! The best speed run

[@isidrolopez3797]

This actually helped me with my speedrun thank you!

[@Iritis-]

Man, I felt you with those last two Birkin fights. I recently lost a no save Claire B run to G4 because I went in on danger with no health items. lol

[@fatarchon]

You run faster in the Caution state as Claire FYI - It's on the RE subreddit right now Love watching ya play man!

[@3babylon3]

hey nice been waiting for another 2nd run run. all i have left to do for my s+'s

[@MeCrazy516]

this will probably sound dumb....but i think it would be neat to see completionist speed runs....like get everything and kill everything (within reason, killing all the Ivy might not be an option)

[@KurtAshing]

2 slash for the final boss??

[@MaverickneoGamer]

For those of us that are non speed running pros and just want to unlock first the sub machine gun and then, possibly the Gatling gun or Rocket launcher, can you please do a speed run for us? Guide? Something? The only thing I managed to unlock is infinite ammo Gun. Is it easier to get with Leon A? Claire A? Leon B or Claire B?

[@420Mrgreenkush]

MaverickneoGamer yeah, this is insane. He knows all the tricks and got all the skills. I don’t think I have the time to try cuz it’d be so much time consuming to achieve it

[@noobofalltrades9766]

best thing to do is just play it over and over again and familiarize yourself with everything. Leon A is probably the easiest of the two because of the weapons he has. Just know the areas you need to shut off or kill most zombies when you know you have to come back on an area. Other than that, repetition is always key. Like you at first I had doubts, but seeing that sub 2:30 run being pulled off is a great feeling.

[@benconnor3206]

MaverickneoGamer i literally just watch these and pause as i go and always end up with an extra hour on there or so, but they show you the best and fastest ways and routes, just follow them. Rinse and repeat bosses and those trusty 3 saves until you get through , practice on standard and unlock unlimited samurai edge and you’ll get a feel for what you need to do and some good practice with auto aim off, standard is truly still difficult at times and I just used it to practice for hard-core and then I got into the sewers for first save, that helps a lot

[@dfmh1]

+Ben Connor hey thanks for the commment. Mind if I ask what “trusty 3 saves mean”? I just beat Leon A for the first time last night and am doing a Claire 2nd run (B?) now and I want to unlock the cool guns and shit like I did back in Re5

[@MaverickneoGamer]

SunbroSolaireTV to unlock the rocket launcher and Gatling guns you only get 3 saves total. Usually people save before each boss

[@Nothing-lf6py]

I love ur runs

[@alvo621]

There should be bullets hidden in the dark corner behind the very left bookcase you move over.

[@Valiant_Requiem]

He knows where they're at, but at that moment in the run, you can hear Mr. X right behind him. Had he ran into that corner to get the bullets, he'd have been grabbed. Not to mention the only reason he would've needed to grab those bullets was due to the bad RNG of zombie placement causing him to have to use bullets to stagger more zombies than one would need to in a perfect run.

[@athapl5264]

21:35 That zombie eater in the library only remains eating if you do not go up through that ladder neither fall into hole.

[@apcsox]

I love watching these speedruns. I especially love the baiting of the zombies and Mr X to get past them.

[@lew4031]

I'm gonna use all your runs to get S+! You're also chill as fuck man, congrats on being the RE GOAT 🐐

[@DaakinsProductions]

You didn't pick up the revolver ammo on the third floor where you grab the spade key. You ran right past it.

[@burzzz3009]

Watched you run RE2 on GameCube for GDQ, you were very entertaining. Hoping your strats can help me get through Claire hardcore RE trophy 😉

[@Shad0wmoses]

i like how people in the chat still like to tell him when he missed something as if they dont have a specific route/set of items needed for the run

[@mezzuna]

Just got my first S+. Thank you brother

[@PositiveOnly00]

Where did you do your 3 saves? i think i fucked up with mine. might have to do all over again.

[@mezzuna]

@@PositiveOnly00 the first time you get to the chiefs office 2- after or before chess puzzle before Birkin 2 3- just before you get Sherry's vaccine / in the nest when you walk down the corridor with the red bulbs on either side the is a save room to the right. This is just before the triple Birkin showdown. Using the knife on him works, this is not a cheat, Capcom left it in on purpose. You can use the infinite knife and still get S+ (AND MINIGUN)

[@syxx7wun]

In standard difficulty, I found machine gun ammo and a first aid spray in the orphanage's 2nd floor bathroom

[@iGingerYT]

Great run, dude! The B scenario seems more stressful than the A scenario for some reason. Question though when did you get the launcher? I didn't see you get it from the weapons locker in the station. I was watching the whole time, but didn't see you get it.

[@seonaidhkennedy6784]

Jacob Hedeen If you miss the grenade launcher at the station it spawns in the lab in the room where you leave Sherry.

[@JustSendMeLocationPlease]

You don’t need it until you get to the lab so when we speedrun we generally don’t get the shotgun or grenade launcher. You can but you lose like 2 minutes.

[@TheDragonstare]

You would think that in the Claire 2nd run they would give you upgrades to the quick draw army revolver sense they give you tones of ammo for it

[@TheSeeker225]

G2 doesn't have to be "down" for the crane to kill him. I've beaten G2 using just 2 flash grenades before. Its easier if you down him with weapons first but it not required.

[@wrxrob2589]

Do enough damage and you can knock him down with one crane hit, and earn the trophy “gotcha”

[@otakon17]

@@wrxrob2589 I found it takes at least 4 downs to do that though, in the same amount of time you can just trigger the crane twice.

[@lycanfawaz]

nice run man

[@underratedcritic1983]

Bawk can beat this game with his fucking eyes closed.

[@truthofdsp]

At the start, just use the granade if you get trapped a second time... Also speed suit ftw!

[@frickedeeky]

Hi Bawk do you plan on replaying the game in first person? They already have a mod for it and it looks amazing

[@ThatOneGuyWhoWearsGlasses]

Where is Leon when this is all happening especially at the start when you first see him then he disappears

[@drumsno]

Yes this doesn't translate very well

[@chugero4524]

It is not a clip. It is a magazine. And on top of that, revolvers do not use them.

[@tanookigt]

The speed loader for the revolver fits the technical definition of a clip.

[@kevinhurd6756]

I don't know the game very well but I do know that you can pretty easily bait zombies to try a grab and then just back step real quick then run past during their animation. They seem to have a cooldown before they will grab again. Why isn't Bawk doing that and instead using ammo when he doesn't need to? Didn't need to shoot that guy in the lab with the grenade launcher and there were several other instances he decided to shoot when he didn't need to. Is it just for the sake of speed?

[@XziledBlog]

LOL that ending with the KNIFE!!!

[@killerqueen3071]

Thanks man because of u i can get inf gatling,welp i only need inf atm4,please make a leon speedrun

[@petemartin1891]

Gutted u can't do this on console. Don't care what any one says I followed this too a T too the first boss and the knife goes half as fast and he just swings and gets you

[@Pixel-City]

Pete Martin knife trick only works on Pc

[@Valiant_Requiem]

Yep. To answer further, the reason why the knife only works on PC is because if framerate. The way the knife works, the higher your framerate, essentially the more hits register all at once, allowing you to practically do three times the damage with one swing.

[@eznor5103]

I did the knife trick on console but u need to use the flashbang took a couple tries tho

[@Valiant_Requiem]

It's not a knife "trick" though. Literally, it's frame rate. He's doing three times as much damage in a single swing than you do on console. That's why it takes multiple flashes.

[@Brigada91RealBriggy]

@@Pixel-City nah, knife does a lot of damage on consoles as well. Might not work as fast but it works. Just gotta know when to hit and keep hitting with infinite knife ^^

[@SylvianLight]

nice vid. this help me get a few trophies. thanks

[@SephirothXValentine]

Is it just me, or does the room where you find the quickdraw feel the safest? Lol. Probably because it's not INSIDE of the station. But again maybe it's just me.

[@lovetap4238]

why not save ammo and hit G2 with the container twice? does it take longer? i stay my distance and just let the container do the work.

[@ijxssie]

yes, it takes longer.

[@xxIKONICKxx]

That first encounter with Mr.X in the STARS hallway, everytime I dodge his hook, I IMMEDIATELY try to run past him, but he always fucking grabs me. It's getting frustrating because these streamers do it with 100% success, but I do the exact same thing and he always grabs me while hes still recovering from the missed hook.

[@Grom84]

it seems that you need to run from the side with which hand he was punching, so if he punches with his right hand you need to run around him to the left otherwise he will grab you with his free hand which he holds to the back during the punch.

[@xxIKONICKxx]

Well I mean yeah I've done EVERYTHING and he still grabs me. If you look at Distortion2 he literally touches Mr.X after a miss and he never gets grabbed. I always get grabbed no matter how he punches, no matter what side I run to. That's what the issue is.

[@Grom84]

@@xxIKONICKxx you can do that, you can basically run through his fist after attack animation finished.

[@ryanbothwell1445]

That's part of the charm bro, narrow hallways add to the claustrophobia and dread, it's very well executed I think. Also Resi 3 is rumoured to be in production and DLC for 2 is out next week I believe

[@Rogers1000]

@@ryanbothwell1445 there's claustrophobia then there's tedium on the scales I'm sure this tipped over on some people's play through's in fact one of the main criticisms of this game from everyone I heard was a Dodge feature, yes the defence items are nice but I'd have swapped them for a button prompt to dodge instead. Like I said it was only a minor thing and even on my second playthrough it got like every other RE game surplus ammo, 6 or 7 mixed herbs left over by the end lol

[@ryanbothwell1445]

@@Rogers1000 There was no dodge in the original, old fans, including myself would kicked up a fuss about adding QTE's to Resi 2, they are a massive culprit in why the franchise began to die. As they increased button prompts in 4, 5 and 6 they caused a change from Survial Horror genre into shit Action games. The people requesting a dodge feature are just shit at the game, simple.

[@Rogers1000]

@@ryanbothwell1445 a Dodge feature is not a qte it's a button press like in batman Arkham series or any other game with a Dodge feature.

[@ryanbothwell1445]

@@Rogers1000 As have I, and don't presume seniority as meaning you're more right, the fact is limited defensive items are still part of the inventory management system which is a core element of survival horror and classic Resi as a whole. The ability to dodge an attack when prompted is not limited and honestly would require no skill if you could just do it every time, for all intents and purposes it's just a mini QTE. Stupid button prompts like this are what nearly killed the genre. Capcom stayed true to the roots and the game sold over 3 million units in a week, I think the games just fine as is based on that.
