Strat Update for the GTAV Speedrun (September 2019)

[@FriendlyBaron]

if you got questions or want to see any of this done live, check me out @ www.twitch.tv/friendlybaron Many people are probably going to ask what Strats i have found myself, so i will answer it here - most strats i have found myself or worked on are older strats from a few months ago. recently, i have been doing my preferred action - instead of finding strats myself, i am usually busy confirming other peoples strat ideas either offstream or in videos like this one. the new routing reloe found i did alot of testing of, and found many little notes about the gauntlet dupes by just doing them within runs. coming up with strats from scratch is not something im very good at nor enjoy much, so i try to give back to the community by helping test as much as i can and confirming what strats are and are not actually faster. its not a requirement for people to make strats anyways, and lately theres been a culture of EVERYONE MUST CONTRIBUTE STRATSwhich isnt right. some people just dont enjoy that side of speedrunning, so no pressure on anyone if its not something they take part in. is just a game fren (if you reply to this comment i will read it but youtube makes it hard to reply to, if you want a reply then add a new comment to the video, not to this pin, thanks

Im bad at speedruning anything, juts love wtaching ur speedruns, sadly i dont watch all your streams because u start streaming late in my country. Much love

[@Aspect46]

FriendlyBaron do u think there will be a sub 6 hour run ?

[@ScReamOut93]

11:10 correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a faster strat? If memory serves right you can set michael on fire with a molotov, which allows you to run at normal speed with the heavy armor. You can skip the whole shootout and carry the fight into the last room, right before you hop on the train

my older series, like casual vs speedrun, had 100s of strats and was basically impossible to credit people on, most of the information was just lost to time, 2013-2014 especially. but these new vids are doing up-to-date strats so i can make a proper effort to credit people in-the-moment.

yeah its two separate things really, improving the run's strats but also improving your own play. i could hammer another 2 minutes off the run just by perfecting the driving, and no other changes if i really worked at it

[@raigntk3294]

@@FriendlyBaron I would say perfect driving later, or at least somewhat later. I think some of your biggest saves could come from the sections where you get pushed from the cars trying to get in front of you. Granted I don't really know how much time this would actually save you on your runs.

[@FriendlyBaron]

[@gustavodarosacunha417]

The running strat can be used in Repossession to get closer to the fence or to run through the alley on right and have the biker spawn in a different location. Both are quicker, but going right is a little harder because it is a hard turn while running that way

[@FriendlyBaron]

interesting never though of going right. though theres a new strat - just shoot the biker later - that way hes already facing the right way when you blap him.

[@SgtPepper892]

[@antonholm2]

This may be a really dumb question since you runners prob already tried this. But in Pack Man(driving Devins cars upp to paleto), why dont you jump down into the dry canal(dont know what its called tbh) right at the start and then jump back up by the train yard? I would assume you tried it and its slower but shouldnt you be able to kerb-bosst and keep a higher speed on the concrete than when you otherwise pull out on the train tracks?

[@FriendlyBaron]

tried that, its slower. the kerbs from going up/down the canal sides just arent worth it, and you don't carry enough speed into the dirt uphill onto the freeway to make it cleanly up
