What is the MINIMUM Attacks to Beat Rayman 3?

I've done a LOT of Rayman 3 runs in my life, but the run that always seemed interesting to me was finding out what the minimum number of attacks is that you have to do to beat the game. The run requires a lot of resets, but I think we can learn a lot from my final spreadsheet to all improve our runs in the future. Enjoy!

[@GroovyLeon]

The absolute amount of love and care you put in your videos compared to your subscriber count is astounding. You deserve SO MUCH MORE. I truly hope that one day you'll hit the big score (and with quality like this is just a matter of time) and that you'll keep being motivated in the meanwhile.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

cause if it were, it wouldn’t be obscure anymore :P (I had to make that joke)

[@TheAlvaster]

For that turret section, I feel that if you're counting "attack button presses", you're good to count it as 1 attack, but you'd have to include grabbing the rings. If you omit grabbing the rings because you're not "attacking", and just pressing the button, then we're back at defining what an "attack" is. I would say it's sending out 1 offensive object, like your first or a bullet. I'd personally treat each turret shot as an attack. But this is just fun brainstorming, haha! The video is absolutely fun and chill and I'm enjoying going through your stuff. :)

[@captainbucket3397]

It blows my mind how you uploaded this video just after I discovered the last year one, great work on them anyways!

Great video! For the Hoodstomper fight though, isn't walking over enemies technically not an attack? It still squishes them but you don't have to specifically attack them

I think it depends how you look at it. I decided to be objective and count it

[@VALL_es]

I loved this game so much when I was a kiddo... I played the PS3 version about four years ago and went back in time for a few days. Cool to see that you have uploaded content from this game as well. Keep it up with the videos, you're doing great ;)

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Good to hear! And why did you stop playing?

[@VALL_es]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 Even it was my favourite videogame back then, there wasn't any specific reason for stop playing, I guess... I simply played other stuff, then started being busy studying at the university (now working, which is probably worse xDDD) and it was like 4/5 years ago when I decided to play again the Rayman saga. The games have aged very well and whenever I can I play Rayman 2/3 in their PS3 versions (much easier than waiting for my PS2 to work whenever it wants). It's great to see some people trying new stuff in this game after lots of years. As I said, you're doing a great job with these videos... You deserve way more subscribers and I hope that will change quickly in the future. It's hard getting popular without uploading mainstream stuff but you're doing amazing.

I got Rayman 3 on the og xbox when I was only 6 years old. I did not speak or could read English as it wasn't my first language. The part 2:42 where you needed to side step to be able fist attack around the wall was not my 6 year old brain could figure. I was also to stubborn to ask for help from my mom or dad. Att that point I yeet out Rayman 3 disc and did not touch this game for straight 6 months. Time comes around and I give Rayman 3 another try. I figure it out instantly at first try and enjoy Rayman 3. Now it is my most favorite game all time

[@fabioelcazatesoros]

27:00 Bro you can actually just use fully charged attacks on the machine to beat it, the time needed between attacks is larger when you do a fully charged attack so is easier and you cut off a lot of the attacks. I think that you just need 4-5 attacks to get the bar high and damage it

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

So I've heard. Tested it since and you guys are right! I've been playing that part wrong for years!

[@fabioelcazatesoros]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 I just tested it and it only takes exactly 5 punches to damage the machine

[@williampaabreeves]

Horrible Machine can be done with only charged fists, as the bar doesn't drop immediately if hit with a semi charged or fully charged fist. Fast hits are the worst as they cause it to immediately drop. You can easily save 15 or more attacks there

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Is it? I should look into that, I was done with it because of the frustrations😂😂

[@ParallelogramCH]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 Do the whole playthrough again but with the Horrible Machine optimization :D

With the big machine, the red mark stays up for way longer if you use fully charged punches which it's also faster as well as less hits.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

People taught me to do this way better after uploading this vide👌👌

[@linhero797]

The way I prefer to count things on weapons where you hold down the fire button. Is to count based on enemies killed.

[@alicejansen1332]

you planning on doing anything Rayman 2 related in the future?

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I don't know how since there is no regular of Revolution version in the ps stores. Besides, I Don 't really know what kind of challenges I can do there since you cannot start sudden levels without enough lums for example

[@too_oden2199]

do you think there are some things you can bypass in order to reduce the number of hits by a greater number with glitches and bugs?

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Yes, you can. But I only have acces to the PS3 HD port where a lot of those glitches have been fixed. And on top of that, I really dislike those glitches and you will almost never see them on my channel. Every challenge I do is finding something out by playing the game 'normal'.

[@LasagaMan]

Would you consider going for any other rayman games (I.e Rayman 1 without collecting any power ups)?

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

There are a bunch of Rayman 3 video's I have to make first. Plus, I think I have no way to play and record Rayman 2 for example

[@permissionBRICK]

For the hoodlum machine i think you can keep throwing charged punches, after a charged punch the meter does not reset as quickly.. or did I miss a rule or does that not work in the HD version?

So I'm confused. Why don't you just keep using charged punches for the Horrible Machine? That makes the bar go up faster right?

[@tanglelover]

New video!

[@PidgeyHowler]

As far as holding down attacks go, I would just count the number of things you kill. If every enemy theoretically dies in "one hit" and you killed 20 enemies while holding down the attack button, I argue that's 20 attacks, because if you had been able to have better control over it, you would've taken 20 attacks to win that battle, and so on. Though I guess its a little harder with bosses since you don't just insta-kill them.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I get that. Although, the final boss gets really jarring then, because the shield refills itself very fast

[@PidgeyHowler]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 Yeah, that's why I recognized it probably wouldn't work for the boss since its not as clear how many hits its taking to end the fight.

[@Cakepants]

You could trim down a LOT of these with super jumps, is there a specific reason you didn't use them?

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

You will always never see me use glitches in games. I feel like they take away from the gameplay experience. Plus, to my knowledge the super jumps have been patched in the HD remaster, which I will always be playing

Got you bro

[@TheBrummi10]

you can "defeat the shoe" without boosting right? so in theory the attacks you counted there can be removed from the total minimum count as well, bringing it down even more. I mean yes, it would take months for the other shoe to accidentally run into you while you do nothing but I would say just driving around and "whoopsie, we collided" is also not an attack, is it? :)

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Not really sure if that's a feasible scenario, but if it would work: technically you are correct!

[@MrZuo123]

30:00 -> Honestly? I would rather count it as an 0 attack overall and just don't add up these stages to the equation. Just because this segment is completely different then rest of the game.

[@MakoTenseii]

Having seen some speedruns, you can defo do this in way less. At least with glitches

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Maybe, but I don't like them. Then you play a totally different game. You will almost never see glitches on my channel. But exploits like jumps you are not allowed to make... well, that's part of the game

[@user199x]

To make the counts less inconclusive and vague, the run could be simply about the amount of times you have to press the actual attack button? I mean already with the hooks there's some weird inconsistency since you don't count when grappling them but unless I'm misinterpreting the footage you seem to count shots that are missed altogether? Including missed shots on the hooks...?

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I chose not to include the hooks since it doesn't feel like an attack to me. Also, sometimes I attack more then the minimum, but everytime you see that you can also see me reset sooner or later. Sometimes you have to practice before the best attempt

[@jorenaldo]

Great video, keep up the good work. Also, an idea, at 3:25 maybe you could jump in that small bit of platform under the screw. I've seen it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4GZlomgacaokK8 at around 8 minutes, but it's a TAS, so I'm not sure how difficult it would be or if this could only be done in a specific version.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I don't think you can do that on the PS3 HD remaster

[@Raymanfan86sk]

Request: Highest possible score!

I will look into a 100% speedrun video, even though I have never gotten 100 percenter before. Should be fun😂

[@Kaitalise]

28:30 I don‘t think you need that many attacks on the machine. By ALWAYS using fully charged fists the meter stays up long enough to fully charge again and then it only needs like 5 hits to reach the top IIRC.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

You're right. I corrected my mistake in my Rayman 3 Speedrun video. Comments helped me al lot with this!!

[@Rib_]

There are definitely more optimisations here, there are a few places you can skip some spinning mushrooms (including the "impossible" one in the fairy council), anywhere with multiple hoodlums can have them hit each other at the same time, and the machine boss meter can be raised to the top in 3 or 4 charged punches.
