[Segmented] Poki Skip 2.0
Фильм және анимация
Crazy how much has happened in the last months. With slightly better execution in some parts and taking into account SSD loads (which would save ~5 seconds), this could probably be brought down to sub 4 minutes. Moreover, RTA single segment poki skip is now more possible than ever. Run-wise, it seems to be faster, though no conclusive timings have been made. The real split time if this was a run would be closer to 4:20 (nice) because the load screens between batalia and orxon are also factored in. The segments skipped are almost 6 minutes in total. However, not having thrusterpack loses time in a couple places, most notably, on veldin 2 where drek skip cannot be preformed
Anyway, both of the new proxy methods (yes there are 2) were discovered by @cank2111
As for the RaC1 ng+ segmented run I promised a while back, it's going go be a while until that finishes, as I lost all progress 2 weeks ago when I forgot to backup the files before formatting my pc.

So i calculated the estimated timesave wrongly when i first wrote the description. Poki skip is actually faster it seems!!!!! TL;DR is it saves around 50 seconds optimally. I have corrected the description now, so head there for more information
This is awesome. I really cant believe this is still slower than doing Gaspar and Poki though, if this saved significant time it would be worth trying some day

I honestly can't see how this could be much faster than this. Even if there's a faster way to go from. Pos2 to pos3, I don't see saving much more than 20 seconds. Clank is just so slow

Think it's about time to make that update video on the old mystery, or you still letting this cook before documenting it, Rixer?

Even if you don't want to do another full video on poki skip, the next time you make a ratchet video could you at least mention this discovery.

I hope he makes it into a short
History in the making
I may not be a speedrunner, but previously having watching Rixer's video on the history of Poki Skip awhile back makes this amazing to see. Here's hoping that now that we know it's possible, that you, or fellow speedrunners/glitch hunters could hopefully find a bit more to make Poki Skip something we could see in NG+ runs!
Visuals are stunning
It's almost as if all the pieces and bugs were always just conveniently there waiting to be found.

For the longest time, until the first version was found, it felt like the opposite was true. Everything was just out of reach. Now I feel the same way you do

@@Pentali I bet. All these techniques just make me question, How in the world did someone find that out? Especially the levitating technique with the punch, that somebody found out after 10 hours straight of colliding the tiny robots together with clank and a wall. Like, what made him so sure it was possible in order to spend 10 hours dedicating to that specific thing before it even being successful once to prove it's even a possibility? I wholeheartedly wish to know.
So wait, Poki skip is not only doable, it's at this rate *possibly viable* for the current state of R&C speedrunning?! When shall the word be properly spread to the public?! The theoretical old gamechanger is back with a vengeance against the unbelievers!
I feel like this might be able be optimized more with the new proxy trick. Moving the camera is faster than opening the saved scenes. And its possible theres a jump out there were missing
This was completely insane
Omg you are a hero
So now we just need to find Drek Skip with the helipack only
POKISKIP REAL!!?!?!!1
insane
Holy Sh@t! You've done it! This is porbably the new way to Speedrun! Not only you save the time to skip Pokitaru & Gaspar you also save the time to colect the Infobots at Orxon and Batalia. This is way faster!
cool
hold UP
Holy shit poki-skip completed????

It will be when someone eventually get wr with it
man its wild to finally see this possible RTA and be actually possibly viable. How difficult is this split overall compared to some other technical/difficult splits in the run? are there a lot of fail points with no reasonable recoveries?

I'd say it's definitely much more of a coin flip compared to the normal route. The magnerail proxy and the last proxy into the magneboot room are still not completely figured out. But the only real threats are the birds, the proxy from infobot position 2 to 3, and maybe the first magnerail proxy. Then there is also the problem of doing everything fast
Did you use the camera to block the rockets 💀 what??!!

Yea, the camera in this game is like a Swiss army knife
Will we still play as Ratchet once we go to the Gemlik Base after Hoven without the O2 Mask from this skip? Or how will the game program us to play as for the Gemlik Base
@Pentali

the game never actually checks for o2 mask ouside of orxon (and when youre in water). So all planets where you would use it, such as gemlik and fleet, are the exact same as if you had picked up the mask
Just a question, Apparently you can use quit exploit on all of the classic ratchet games including RAC1 on the ps3 to change your items, can't you do that to obtain the O2 mask and directly have it on your first orxon visit? Rac3 has a category with QE but seems to be the only one of the 3 to get one it seems

Rac1 actually doesn't have qe because "quitting the game doesn't make the loaded save counter set to -1" (according to isaki). Rac2 did have an ng+ qe category, but no one played it because it was really boring so it got removed (literally just started your ng+ file on yeedil and played a single planet)

@@Pentali oh ok I see haha that's a nice little fun fact
Dude this is insane, do you think theres a chance we can potentially optimise this to get better times ? Almost makes me wanna pick up and learn the speedrun tech so I can help research to see if this would be viable to speed up
@Pentali

This already saves time over the combined comgolds of the planets that are skipped. However, it also entails a lot of randomness compared to the normal route. But finding the right setups and maybe a better way to get to position 3 could potentially make this the standard route

@@Pentali Damn dude Ive rewatched this like 4 times lol, if anyone can make this viable its for sure you. Keep up the amazing work !!!
On a scale from 1-10, with 1 being doable by even casual players and 10 being TAS-only, how hard do you think this would be to pull off in a full run?

The magnerail proxy and the last proxy into the magneboot room are still not completely figured out. But the only real threats are the birds, the proxy from infobot position 2 to 3, and maybe the first magnerail proxy. So I'd say it's about 7/10 in difficulty, where it'd be possible to do it in a single segment if you put enough time to practice and also get a bit lucky. But getting it to actually save time in a run is a different beast
wtf
The things Clank fans will go through to avoid playing as Ratchet.
you have too much free time
