Indivisible PROTOTYPE Speedrunning & Secrets Discussion

inb4 the real winner never streamed their runs or posted in this thread.
definitely going to happen
 
Well, I'm sure that I didn't win, but was fun ( and a little stressful ) all those runs. Never did a speedrun before but now I understand what speedrunners feel, even I did sessions of 12+ hours, can't believe it.

Anyway, at least the campaign was a success.
 
My final count since I started using livesplit was 3411 attempts, it was much more stressful than I expected...

Woah if that's the real Narcissa Wright this feels even more special, haha. I am excited to hear who won too! Spoiler alert: Not me.
I wish I took time to work with the community more during my attempts after seeing all the input you guys were giving each other. As long as we don't have a big reveal where the winner is John Cena I'll be happy.

You mean 6h 10m, though. (^.^)

[edit]
Man, we went to sleep, we don't know who the winner even is yet!
But I can't WAIT to watch all those runs! :^)

That's good enough for first place right? I didn't look at any of the other times
 
I only did that one time.
 
yeah I asked Mike about that. And it turns out that it's kinda random. That 99% of the time you'll just trigger the battle before hitting the cat.
 
If you could like kill cat like all of his live, then yeah why not, but onnly first one is kinda meh. Still nice found, I head about it, but never know that is so random.
 
So yesterday I watched the stream. Winner of Art and cosplay was mentioned (gratz to them) but before the stream started, Mike came to the chat and said that he have to get to the place where others are and he still need to see winner for Speedrun.

Someone already said there are winner to all contest - https://www.reddit.com/r/Indivisible/comments/3vj4cm/winners_of_the_indivisible_art_contests/

So did I missed this, or the speedrun still need to get the winner ?
 
Now I understand why he never showed his run.

Congrats.

It's been on the post where I put the screenshot for a while now, but thank you!
 
Ha, really? Didn't noticed that.

BTW I noticed that almost always 2 or all 3 rodneys attack you when you don't start a fight in the edge of the cliff, only 2 times no one attacked me, sadly those times I didn't did a good run.

Edit: Ah, but that was after the contest ended and in the old post.

Anyway, congrats.

I can't believe I forgot he can jump after you off edges... I actually had that happen to me so many times in different areas but didn't even think about how it would be USEFUL.

I forgot to add that to my initial speedrun post but this is something I noticed while speedrunning the prototype.
@Mike_Z this is kind of disrupting - especially for quick walljumps - and they're the only platforms that do that to this extend, any chance for a fix in the future?

Finally updated the first post with the winning times. Let me know if I missed anyone.
 
Watching AGDQ made me wanna go back to this and try some more runs. Got a new PB of 37:22.68 tonight. Tried to blindly replicate some of the WR strats (thanks so much for the detailed annotations @havick9!), not sure I got the group XP trick right and I couldn't for the life of me dodge the big guys, but just having a rough idea of the route and knowing which enemies to fight was helpful. Unfortunately I spent waaaaay too much time in the pit 'cause I hadn't tried this in a while/am just plain bad, but at least this time I did kill the cat first try so that's something.

I think with a little more practice on the pit I could probably get down to a sub-30, gonna keep trying.

Edit: Starting to stream attempts and got a softlock for it. Couldn't even run. Fuck.

Edit 2: 29:23.51! Still a lot of mistakes I could improve on though, maybe I'll do a few more later just for the hell of it.

Edit 3: 24:28.86! Sub-25, I'm pretty happy with that. Think that's enough for me, maybe I'll come back to do runs of the beta later.

Bonus cat trolling.

Y'know, if it were possible, I'd love to watch some Prototype races between you and some of the other runners one day. It's been a long time since the game's been on any streams, and you all had such great runs.

Aww, still not biters yet huh?
 
I'm waiting for the next beta to try playing this game fast.
Honestly I'd just love to watch a 3-way Race between Havick, Senvy, and Mike.

Looks like that's what everyone is doing.

Aw, that's a shame. I have a bunch of info and questions about this prototype but it's too late.
No one seems to be interested in running with me right now.
 
this makes me think there's a way to turn on debug controls on all the prototypes

maybe it's the reason a bunch of new enemies pop up everywhere after you kill the boss
