[@markoadam6619]

I know it's not a very popular speedgame, but actually I have one story which hardcore speedrun fans may find interesting. In Jazz Jackrabbit 2 you have checkpoints on each level. If you die on a level you can respawn on a checkpoint and continue the game. The interesting thing that you actually don't have to touch the checkpoints its enough if you shoot them. Around 2014-2015 players figured it out that if you have enough speed your shooting range increases and you can shoot checkpoints and if you die you respawn there and finish the level faster. This stategy could be used on more levels but the weapon(Electro Blaster) you need to shoot through is only can be found on level 17 of the 24 levels, so you can only use this strat in the late game. Luckily I had an idea, with specific circumstances you can shoot though walls with another weapon(Bouncer with powerup) and you can use the death warp on another level - he I can show a video how does that work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5qUpWWZgMudjq8 This had no problem because we already needed this weapon to kill a boss fast. But things have changed really fast because in a week because I found another faster way for that boss which does not needed to get the power up on Bouncer. Geting the powerup without without timeloss was too inconsistent and difficult so no player would went for that strat. Years past players became better and better and as time flyed actually this seemed to be more viable for a run so I decided to go back on that level and search for strat development. The life can be sometimes very strange because I actually killed my strat once again - I found an even more game breaking glitch which saves more time - if you get hurt and spin a pole at the same time the game can't handle the two animations at once and you can clip into wall and go out of bounds - I also have a video of that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoe7pGWFeNCceJI . The glitch itself wasn't find by me I just found that one usage of it. So thats how I killed my strat two times :)

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

You killed your unused strat by find a better one. The mission was a success, you only needed to change the goal.

I have 2 people i like to listen to. The legendary Alan Watts and the lore champion Ryan White Goose

[@AHurdOfBronies_]

There was one theory I had for Cradle which might as well be debunked outright. The theory involved farming for a nade like the old strat, then running through the right hut instead of the left one. At the bottom, you would r-lean to throw the nade across the path so that it would explode right underneath the floor at the same spot used for the current strategy. The time-saver would be that you wouldn’t have to wait for Trev anymore, and even get a lucky boost from one of the guards at the start. The obvious flaw would be that one explosion might not reach both Trev and the console at once, and even if it was possible, it would have to explode in such a precise spot that it would be impossible for human input. The fact that you have to open the doors as well could also lose time.

[@Sterlin18]

That was an old strategy theorized in the late 1990's - Even with todays mainline world record there was a theory that you race Trev to the hut like normal - Open the RIGHT hut door and then prime the grenade to throw in at the drone and trev (or R lean) as the left hut door is open (on the optimal line near where we shoot the drone however closer to right hut door area that we just opened (trev isnt in the left hut just yet as we open the right hut door) Its almost like what if the depo like grenade throw could work up here in this area somehow (also with the fluke chance that our grenade somehow fluke drops Trev and his grenade drop for console A - Its just a theory and just is not fast enough...probably good for 34/35 however very low chance at A completion....The one strat you talked about above had been talked about plenty of times over the years however nothing has derived from it as the grenade from "below" magically doesnt get into Trevs hut unfortunately from below....maybe we just haven't found the ideal spot/throw area though that breaches the LEFT hut and takes out 2 birds with 1 stone...

[@Sterlin18]

There was also a farmed grenade strat but WASNT quite fast enough as the current mainline WR 33 where we "build speed" moving into the left hut for Trev (faster than shooting the drone THEN going in) would be like half a second faster or there about - Which we would then be firing at the console from the TREV side and NOT going around left then out of the hut - You can actually shoot through the equipment completing OBJ A by eliminating the console however there would be a boost (as the left route gave a boost yet youre going more out of the way as youre not on the TREV side) - The only thing with this strat (having to farm a grenade with the strat above is that....) if were TOO fast going into the left hut (which were trying to be .5 faster then mainline 33 record strat and moving into the hut optimally) that Trev goes into his slow mo sequence which is not good... - We would need him to get to the bottom plank as were right on his tail and CONTINUE to have him be a few footsteps infront of us as well as moving at NORMAL speed NOT in slow mo....so its REALLY close - We would then throw the grenade on OPPOSITE sides of the antenna (he would be at the bottom of the ramp and then go right where as we hit the bottom of the ramp and go LEFT)...thus priming the nade as he makes his move RIGHT at the bottom of the ramp (his second spot) or even be priming before the bottom of the ramp so when we get parallel running across from one another that we throw the farmed nade across at Trev and he is eliminated....the final door is generally OPEN still at this point (as its a later elimination of Trev so the all the hut/final doors get OPENED just as we get to it before the drop (finishing the level) - This was the OG strategy of farming the nade and used for 37 on agent....its probably good for 34 if executed perfectly however the farming of the nade is just awful and the mainline strategy anyways produces 33 - ** This OG Agent 37 this way (which maybe someone could of got high 34.. or definitely 35 on a cooked run didnt utilize the shooting of the console on the TREV side or any building speed to enter Trev's hut optimally...so again this OG strategy is good for 34-37....maybe even 33 if someone wanted to farm the nade and perfect the strat...again its been documented by myself in 1.1 since 1999 on video just never optimized to todays standard....

One strategy that I used to think about a lot was to throw the Tracker Bug on Frigate right after you had boarded the frigate, since it MAY have been possible to throw it in a parabolic pattern from that place so that it landed on the helicopter. But then it turned out that the helicopter didn't load properly if you didn't face it in a particular way while throwing the Tracker Bug the normal way.

Goose interviewed the real life Dr. Doak who talked about that, how flattered yet baffled he was at how deeply speedrunners continue to obsess over the most minute details of their game.

[@dynamixdj9506]

Nice vid! Myself and TimmyTamze tried using the nade throw technique to blow up the console on Cradle, but we discovered that Bond *has* to be in the console hut when *throwing* the nade for the console to take damage. We tried a number of things, the main one being to prime and throw the nade from directly underneath the console on the final run towards the end. No luck! Also, as I found out on a recent any% run, on Control the console in the drone room can be destroyed without a nade or a mine by shooting the three tables surrounding it. Not sure if that could be used in an IL run, but it definitely saved my RTA after my attempt at back swapping ended up throwing my last mine lol.

[@MetalFoxDioxymore]

Great video ! As a "viewer only", I always wondered why those "throws through walls" weren't used more ! Probably a noob question from somebody who doesn't play, but isn't it possible to use the "throws through walls" strat mentionned in part 1 to throw the plastiques through the walls in Silo ? By doing so, you could plant all the plastiques from one room (and so pausing only one time) ? Plastiques can't be thrown very far, but maybe doing it from the last room (which seem higher) or using a R-lean could help ?

[@mitchellbaker4847]

As a another question in this same vein, with the change weapon animation to warp doors/get through tight spots etc, could it be used to take tighter lines on corners? Going to be messy explain here but imagine l < vs l< Where the vertical part is bonds trave and the angle is the corner. Or ( < vs ( < where the bracket is bonds travel.

[@sheepthehack]

Hey GOOSE!!! Great video as always.. Your voice is so unique.. which is GOLD when it comes to narrating youtube vids.. but that is paralleled only by your efforts in the research dept.. I just wanted to thank you and ask a question... If thats cool!!! I hope so.... In the video... you mentioned the speed run where at the end it would rely solely on a 4.5% chance of a nade being obtained... but.. also.. there would be other obstacles BEFORE that... so.. my question... do you guys.. (when discovering NEW techniques) sometimes ALTER the code to make something happen 100% of the time... I mean... lets say... you have a theory... but, like in this situation, you would have to pull off 3 or 4 highly unlikely events during the run... so.. to make sure it CAN be done... do u ever ALTER the code on an emulator.. or EVERDRIVE (i think its called) so that the guards drop 100% of the time... or.. obstacles go in ur favor 100% of the time etc.. OBVIOUSLY!! not cheating.. but JUST to make sure these theories are sound... or.. is there so much mistrust etc in the scene.. people just stay away from that sort of thing all together... I hope u understood the question... I thank u once more for an amazing video... i enjoy every single vid u put out... and finally i hope u and ur loved ones are staying SAFE and WELL!!! :)

[@pr6138]

I am not GOOSE (obviously :-P ) but as he told us in some of his videos (this one included), some theories are getting tested and/or debunked by using Tool Assistance...which is in fact playing these games in emulators with special tools and trying not to only to make the movement EXTREMELY precise (to levels which are not able for human players) but also to manipulate certain (semi-)random events (sometimes random events are not random but triggered by very specific movements/camera angles/which items you got or other seemingly unrelated factors). Arbitrary code execution would be the most effective manipulation, in which you can alter parts of code of the game within the game. I think this is the nearest to manipulating a game (and these random factors) in some ways...Exept for this special edition someone made for Golden Eye in which you can not only see the ending time of a level, but some checkpoint times on the way to it just to see if one strategy ore another is quicker when it comes to times less then seconds. And this version even runs on real hardware (with a repro cartridge or an Everdrive or something like that) and is not altering very much gamecode...Never heard of any other Romhack like that... But i think this is a very good question, i never heard of Romhacks in which just this kind of specific values (percentage of spawn guards or nadedrops etc) are altered (and i don't know if this technically possible, but looking at some impressive Romhacks i really think so)...could this really cause a problem by increasing the mistrust? like: just don't show us your movement on the gamepad (to make sure that you are really playing it), but show us your console and your official, not altered cartridge to verify that it's not an everdrive with an altered version/romhack? Or is this a great idea to validate/debunk some theories? Does anybody have some further information to this topic?

[@TheMaster627]

Does plastique have the same properties as a grenade as far as going through objects once unloaded? I'm not sure how the Silo rooms are laid out in relation to each other and it seems like a simple idea after seeing the video but I know in speedrunning the obvious is usually the last thing to be thought of and implemented, but, could plastique be thrown up and through anything unloaded in order to attach it ahead of time from a completely different area of the map? I'm assuming either unloading in Silo doesn't work properly, or there isn't anything loaded for the plastique to stick to while flying, or it simply doesn't act the same as a grenade in the first place, but I thought it worth bringing up.

[@HarryKoakuma]

I suppose it's not possible to combine the ideas for the first debunk and second debunk, to throw a plastique through unloaded ceiling/walls in hopes of getting it into a fueling room early to save a pause?

[@handsomebrick]

I remember an older Goose video where he mentioned someone doing a boundary break in Silo, maybe I misunderstood but it looked like that level had a strange way of loading, you could unload ceilings and walls but you'd probably also unload the entire fueling room.
