A run of a contract I made, could be optimized further but I'm pretty happy with the route. Fun to do these once in a while. Contract ID: 1-02-7755814-10
Syphon Filter - Theory TAS #3 - 55:18
Переглядів 1,2 тис.7 місяців тому
This is a *tool-assisted speedrun* created with savestates and real-time play, incorporating discoveries made in the years since the last one. It is intended to show what a highly optimized run using only RTA-viable strats might look like. It is not a real-time speedrun. Played on Bizhawk, which has PS1-similar load times, which over the course of a full speedrun are roughly 2 minutes slower th...
Syphon Filter - Explaining CBDC Cover Sections
Переглядів 1787 місяців тому
This is an explanation of the hidden mechanics behind CBDC cover sections in Syphon Filter for the PS1, using the one in the first level. The later ones have a few unique quirks, but all the principles they operate by appear in this one. This video is part of a much larger project I'm working on: breaking down mechanics across the whole game and explaining how to make use of them for the speedrun.
(2006) Syphon Filter - Segmented Speedrun in ~1:18:00
Переглядів 877 місяців тому
This was my very first speedrun, Syphon Filter on NTSC Playstation 2 with Fast Disc Speed, done in 20 individual segments and recorded on VHS. I played it over about a 6-week period in my dorm room at college. I've finally compiled all the segments together into one video for archival purposes. My original comments for the SDA submission are here: pastebin.com/yGYYd0r0 As I mention in the comme...
Syphon Filter Speedrun in 59:44
Переглядів 6 тис.7 місяців тому
Played on Bizhawk (PS1 emulator with similar load times). PAL version (which runs marginally faster than NTSC due to not waiting for Vsync) Time from Game Start to when the final cutscene starts playing. Real-time World Record as of 10/30/2023. No deaths, messy Stronghold 2. Would be roughly 57:4x on Playstation 2 with Fast Disc Speed. Pretty solid, can still bring it down more. Watch live at w...
Syphon Filter - Washington Park Fast Entrance Tag
Переглядів 1048 місяців тому
Found a faster way to tag the first viral bomb in Mission 4: Washington Park. There are a few approaches to this, including a 2-handed version. The controller motions are kind of finnicky - after you're on the ledge, start a stationary roll, then immediately hold up-left, L2, and X on the next active frame.
Syphon Filter - CDBC Tiptoe
Переглядів 2778 місяців тому
By passing over the spawn trigger for the CDBC agent but not going any farther into the hallway, the global timer for the section will eventually complete the objective. This is very silly and has no use in a speedrun, but it was useful for measuring how these sections work. If I had to guess, there's a slight delay on the spawn and the timer is 45 seconds long. Longer mechanics video on these ...

Faster run here: ua-cam.com/video/6T2ZzsshGdE/v-deo.html Played on Bizhawk (PS1 emulator with similar load times). PAL version (which runs about 15% faster than NTSC) Time from Game Start to when the final cutscene starts playing. Finally got a deathless run with most of the optimized recent discoveries. Happy to break through the slump and don't even mind missing the 59 that much. More to come...

Syphon Filter - Bugged Camera
Переглядів 978 місяців тому
Managed to disconnect the camera from its default position while dropping off the power switch platform, started recording afterward. Very weird glitch, tank controls seem disabled, you can hold backwards and Gabe will run the other way while the camera attempts to swivel and keep up.

Syphon Filter - New Catacombs Phagan Route Comparisons against Top 3
Переглядів 848 місяців тому
I wanted to get a sense of how much time is being saved with the new route, which I'm getting more confident in being able to do consistently. It saves 23 seconds against my PB and about 20 seconds over the 57:47 Theory TAS. Sorry about the rapid cutoff at the end, I apparently didn't have the entire timeline selected when I exported.

What exploit is being accomplished by constantly switching weapons? Is it a speed boost? Iframes?
When your parents allowed you to play the console for just one hour...
I like how 2k people wants to hear "My god, Syphon Filter."
booster dose vaccine mission
You know every time I watch a gameplay or I replay the game there is always one dialogue that I hadn't heard before. You think "there is no way I can interact this way with that" but turns out you can!
I love this game..way better than today games
yuip i miss that time i was playing a lot
I like the way you speedrun Rhoemer fight 😎
This game needs more recognition...
Wild
LOL Why did you kill Aramar at Expo?
Gabe and Lian have a long dialogue during the level fadeout, which you can skip by killing Mara, triggering Lian's "We needed her alive" line. The level still completes, and it's a few seconds faster since you don't have to wait for the regular dialogue to finish.
Awesome work, man. Good job. Two questions: Is there a higher quality version of this somewhere and do you plan on doing a Syphon Filter 2 TAS?
Thank you! There isn't a higher-quality encode, but I still have the input file and could make one eventually. I mistakenly used a lower bitrate OBS profile when I encoded this one. As for a SF2 TAS, probably not. It's a great game, but it's missing a lot of the mechanics that makes SF1's speedrun interesting for me. I don't know it confidently enough to do a TAS project like this justice. I did start a tool-assisted longplay a while back, though, optimizing for entertainment rather than speed, and I may someday finish that.
Pretty awesome
All is cool. All is cool.
i really like the way you left bill choking while looking at pictures haha
Damn man, what a comprehensive video. I have to give you credit! 👍👍👍
OMG MAN My Childhood game

Dude, this is insane.

Игра детства. Так приятно посмотреть в исполнении мастера. Я то её месяца 4 проходил 😂
Thank you! This video is done with savestates, for researching the fastest possible speedrun. My best real-time run with no savestates is here: ua-cam.com/video/6T2ZzsshGdE/v-deo.html
The only thing that could have made this any better was if you used Clairvoyance on the Cow Piece. It sees Raz as a Cow, too. I also thought "what if you set it on fire," but it just jumps around, so that's not missing a lot.
When I just found out you can buy it on PS4.
For 11$? Naaaaah
Very nice RUN!!
I laughed so hard my snot almost came out. Nope, i'm not joking.
You beat Valk. Congratz.
20:18 . . . what did you do there in the menu?
On the approach to this fuel tank, I look to see if Gabrek is approaching the corner, as he can be aggro'd by hearing enemy gunshots or seeing you as you come down the corridor. If that happens, it's very hard to kill him while also dodging the enemy wave that spawns nearby. So as soon as I tag the fuel tank, the game checkpoints me and I go into the menu and load to the nearest checkpoint, which I just hit. It costs about 5 seconds, but it resets the guard positions and I can take Gabrek out without being shot by the very difficult guards in this level.
@@Baronhaynesthanks for the quick reply! You explained it very well. I haven't played this game since the early 2000s so I forgot about being able to load checkpoints. It all makes sense now.
Snake uses a stinger. Logan uses hand grenades 😂
3:03 lol taking the other door
Right on 😎
👏👏👏
Glad GDQ finally let you run the game.
So this is a Human TAS? Is this you playing with safestates and not a computer (TAS) playing?
Bro, the roll under the burning helicopter. I yelled. This run is so good. I see a few places where some seconds can be shaved off, happy to outline them, but overall, excellent effort!
What happened at 28:25 ?
There are two inventory glitches that can be combined - the main one is an animation interrupt where you use the weapon wheel during a fall or roll, which confuses the game and equips both weapons at once. The other is an inventory ID glitch, where specialty items like C4, keycards, and the viral antigen use the same slot as grenades, and by double equipping them with the PK-107, allows you to throw grenades while firing it in first person. I use the animation interrupt while falling off the top boxes at 28:17, combining the antigen with the PK-107. You can see it worked because I'm holding the PK-107 in one hand. I fire it in first person on the ledge, and Gabe auto-targets the scientist in the room behind the stained glass with a gas grenade. At some point I'm going to make a video explaining this glitch in greater detail, but I do the same trick in Mission 8 at 20:17 with a roll interrupt, to knock out the motion sensors with a grenade without having to go through the fence.
Very impressive
43:21 That was a close call, couple frames late, the run is dead.
My eyes went dinner-plate wide and stayed that way until I hit the checkpoint lmao
As would be Lian lol
A lot of this is unsustainable in a general speedrun, but sub-hour is very doable if you get half of this right.
interesting
So this virus eventually turned into a zombie virus and became Days gone ,(you will find a text in Days gone talking about Syphon filter)
Poor Lian getting neglected
nice watch used to love that game
How did you find out all this?
SF speedrunners had a good sense of what was happening after years of running the game, but I also dug into it using savestates to see how things changed based on what I did. I can't see the actual timers, but the results are consistent.
Ah the memories... how far we've come indeed.
NTSC version?
Yeah, original US release. The PAL version of SF1-3 run faster than their NTSC counterparts due to not waiting for Vsync like NTSC does.
Since I know it's likely to be puzzling: at 32:09 I throw a gas grenade despite having already killed the scientist, because the grenade glitch defaults to standard grenades *until* you've used a gas grenade in that level. I was thrown off by an extra guard spawning near the test subject and wanted to do my usual strats rather than improvise, which didn't work out very well, as I missed the grenade glitch setup anyway.
Congrats on the sub-hour club! One day I hope to join you there.
LEGEND! Impressive as hell well played sir!
Perfect
I should make a note here that the timers are incorrect in this video: They work on PAL Syphon Filter's native 50fps, but the recordings are in 60fps. The time saves documented here appear bigger than they actually are. This will be fixed in future videos.
Nice bro, I was gonna re-watch the last one but saw a new record in the description ❤
