Fighting Force (PSX) Speedrun (Smasher - Normal Difficulty) in

Ойындар

((Cool stuff down bellow, be sure to read it all))
First of all, I greatly appreciate the support and every single view, every comment, or any kind of feedback, feel free to say anything, truly, thank you :)
Fighting Force is a 3D, beat-em-up game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive in 1997.
I've played this game many times, ever since I was a child. I still find it very fun to play, as I really don't know of any other 3D beat-em-ups....this one however has earned a spot in my heart and that's all that's important to me.
And because I haven't found any speedruns of this game, I thought I could do one myself, because I know the game in and out (mostly out haha), so people could see it, and maybe pick up this game again to have fun, or even speedrun it.
As for this run, I chose Smasher, because he is the strongest character, and ever since I started to speedrun this game, he kinda stuck to me. It wasn't really my best run, because my PB is 42:04, but it could still be worse. This is my second recording attempt if you are curious.
As for the game choices, the first one is easy, Park, Mall or Bronx, I choose Mall all the time, because it's one level and the other ones are two. The second one, I choose Naval Base, just because of the boss fight. Naval Base route is two levels, Air Base is one, but you can beat the Naval boss in 20 seconds, don't know how much the other route takes overall, might test it with Hawk next time. I certainly will do runs with all 4 characters, just don't know when. But it will happen.
Feel free to ask anything about the game, about the runs, my config, how I am, what did I cook for lunch, I'll answer everything, I promise.
If you have made it to here, I personally thank you EVEN MORE for watching, you are a great person :) Until next time, have a great one.
Software I used:
To play the game: ePSXe 1.9.25 - www.epsxe.com/
To record my gameplay: Fraps - www.fraps.com/
Time Splits: WSplit - www.speedrunslive.com/tools/
(I deleted my splits for this run because I am a moron O:) but I do use this program to see how good/bad I do throughout a run)

    Ben Jackson AKA Smasher Height: 6'4 Weight: 280 lbs Background Smasher serves multiple life sentences and prison is very fond of him. The police have been renting Smasher out. The public doesn't know about it but it cuts down inmates deaths and it brings the prison a lot of money every time he gets sent out. Hawk wants Smasher to be set free. He made a bargain to "contact" Smasher 15 times. There have been problems, because Smasher is a loose cannon. He smashes everything in sight. His temper is immeasurable during heated times and no one knows if he turns on them at any time Man, if Smasher is a loose cannon he can beat the living hell outta Zeng henchmen and carrying heavier things such as a car engine sums it up

    Right now, I have nothing to do with/in this game to be honest. I could start running the japanese version, but the thing is, I don't have the equipment, time or incentive to do so. I have a job now, and I have things to do. Moving out of the house to live on my own, possibly college/university, maybe go to a foreign country. Hell, if I had some competetion in this game, like I had recently with Trilby and TheWispsOfTime, I would probably squeeze some runs out of it. But right now, it's up in the air, on a hiatus that ends who knows when. Sorry.

    I even have two speedruns of it uploaded, of course I have played it. And those minor visual changes were probably done to resemble Streets of Rage more, as this game was originally supposed to be the 4th entry in the series.

    In the car you can see after the gate at (1:00), there is a bazooka and you can use it to blow up the whole truck that will come later, skipping that part completely! ^_^

  • @FightingForceSoulless

    7 жыл бұрын

    Well I know there is a bazooka in the police car, but I don't use it, because it's kind of gimmicky with the autoaim the game is providing, the positioning of the enemies, plus the car takes some time to break. I just don't use it, at all. I would probably use it if I ever get to doing runs on hard, but for the time being, I doubt it's worth it. But I could try, for the keks. Also not sure about the "blowing the whole truck up" part. I know you can destroy the cars after they have stopped, not while they are coming to the spot. So what exactly do you mean by this. Like, when the Z truck comes, shoot the car and the 4 dudes surrounding it will get killed by the blow? I have no idea. I have to try today. But you could provide some more explanation.

  • @delfo8063

    Ok, unfortunately it is something that I remember from my childhood memories (and they are pretty broken XD). I remember that as soon as you broke the police car a Bazooka would come out, obliviously you can't make the whole truck explode while it moves but as soon as the Z-truck stop you can shoot with the rocket-launcher and blow it up before any single character come out from it, skipping the whole fighting session with the dudes coming out from the van. I'm not sure if it works but I'm pretty sure it does. If i remember correctly you can even do it while it's slowing down, try that! I played a lot when I was a kid and if I'm right I think I can give you some more suggestion about a speedrun but, if it doesn't work, I guess I just had some dreams about it. XD

    Well I mean it sounds reasonable, but I am a lazy f..k and I haven't played the game in like 2 months. If it works, it will be gamechanging, I don't know how much time it could save, but hey, certainly better than nothing. If it doesn't....I won't hate you. Maybe. I will let you know as to how it went, when I try to do it. But even before, thanks for the suggestion :)

    You welcome (and sorry if it won't works) and if it does work I also remember some little tricks I used to do with this big guy like placing a huge rock in the middle of the street in "The park" killing every single motorcyclist coming from the end of the level and some other idea for the airbase (even though I saw that you preferred the navalbase for the speedrun). I'll download the game right now and I'll try something for you ... If I'll be able to find a proper ehm... way to do it.

    Well, I tried :D It doesn't work, sadly. That would be a game changer, but for the runs I am doing, that being easy and normal (as of right now), the bazooka isn't worth it. Had this trick worked, different story. But thanks for the suggestion anyways :) I don't go through the park very often, since Mall is the fastest and Bronx is the most interesting I would say, but I remember accidentally discovering this too. It's hilarious. Almost like them breaking against the invisible wall on the High Street. As for Air Base, it's kinda meh....like the level is okay, the boss is....okay-ish, though Vulkan only takes few seconds to beat, but the Airship (or whatever, the level after Jetpac) is sooooo annoying and long. As for the tricks, I know that you can break the Jet and get a huge cannon off of it, and I know that in some version(s) (though not my main one), you can break the side gate to the lower right, and there are barrels, grenades and health kits. Probably a pistol too, but not sure. And that's it for that level I think. If you know of anything different I might have somehow missed, let me know.
