Lego Star Wars II

[groobo]

i've just finished ep4 in 31:23 on super story mode, my goal is sub 31:00 as long as no new tricks/strategies are going to be discoverd (i've got an .avi if someone would feel like watching it) or maybe someone already has a better time  ?

imo this game is ALOT harder to speed run then the prequel

Wow, nice time. I wasn't really working on a run of my own but trying to get some base times down for people to stomp quickly.

Having said that, I would have gotten around 45 minutes on Ep V story if C3PO didn't decide to not build after I got hit while his limbs were being attached during Ch. 6.

Ditto for Ep VI, got around to Ch. 4 [Battle at Endor] and none of the AI would cooperate at all at the switches so I just gave up. These are my last 2 Gold Bricks needed too.

Good luck with your run though.

I actually gave up with this project as I see no one has any interest towards it. And anyway this game seems bugless to me...almost no time-shaving shortcuts can be used, only minor tricks. As a result this run is going to be veeery very boring. If someone would help in finding some major tricks I would eventually return to it.  

PS. got a 30:46 in episode IV (yes, 30:30 is possible)

A game doesn't have to have bugs to make for a good speedrun. And yes, there are people who are interested in this.

[groobo]

So there are... I'll eventually get  back to it   And what i ment is that this game will be actually boring for me to speedrun, and noone watching it will be like WTFOMG!!1@ due to the above mentioned lack of tricks... But I promise that the time will be still low  

edit: Daogbah (or what ever is it called) is a shortcut paradise, ch5 also has a neat trick. I've judged the game too quick (before eaven running ep5)   My first try here was 42:16 with ALOT of unluck (sub 35:00 is easy for this ep, if I get to that point I'll estimate the final time). Any help with finding shortcuts would be awesome ppl!

I just finished the last Chapter of Ep. VI today. I believe that the second game is quite a bit longer than the first. The bad thing was that I was always trying to get true jedi so I was always afraid that a Chapter was about ready to end...so maybe in that way it just felt longer.

I don't know if I'll try any of the episodes since I have quite a few other games to play right now. Of course now I can go back through and just see how fast I can do each one without collecting extra crap.

BTW: I don't know if anyone else knew this. When you are fighting the emperor at first I didn't know that you could control both Luke and Darth/Anakin. When it comes to the guys in red its very easy to just use Darths death grip on them...in case someone just stuck to Luke for this Chapter.

[Yoshi348]

Don't you have to swap anyway when Palpatine uses Force Lighting on you?

[Mkt2015]

Yes, but at first I thought that I had to fight them both...so I'm like...jeeesh...I can't even get close to the guy when he does the lightning. I just had to figure it out.

[groobo]

Not being able to execute all tricks that I found is extremely frustrating. Instead of cutting 1 minute, I usually end up 1 minute slower. Like I can redo those tricks flawlessly once per hundred tries, which disqualifies them from a ss run.

Anyone else finds it frustrating too  ?

[groobo]

I got a little borred with running whole episodes, so I did a bounty hunter speed run. I hope you'll like it

TOTAL = 6:08.96

Regarding the timer, it starts from 3:00.00 and ticks down untill it hits 0 so a finished stage with 2:30.00 on the timer was actually finished in 30 seconds.

Enjoy this untill I finish running the orginal episodes  

[Yoshi348]

Doesn't it like actually start at like 2:59:37 or something stupid like that?

[groobo]

No, it starts from 3:00. TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT GOD DAMNIT  

edit: And I finally abandoned running super story mode. I'm sooo fed up with it you can't eaven imagine. If someone would eventually get to this project by him self I would be glad if I could help with routes and strategies  

[Neotracer]

...don't have to make the AT-AT in order to get past one of the fences. I was also able to jump back in one try.

I wonder how you managed that. Do you mind telling us?
My friend and i are trying to make a two player run on the PC-version.  

[groobo]

It can be done but only at the first fence that leads to a double score zone, it could be usefull only for a 100% run. I can show you some tricks if you want  

[Neotracer]

That would be nice.  
Thanks.
