Caneras FAQ

Q: I never beat this game because I didn't want to hunt down the tribals, do you have to save them for an any% run?
A: Yes.

Q: All of them?
A: Yes.

Q: If you have to do that for any%, what's the difference between any% and 100%?
A: 100% also collects all of the weapons and keys for each character as well as all of the weapon and health capacity upgrades, multiplayer totems, and expert Floyd mission medals.

Q: How long have you been speedrunning JFG?
A: I've been running it off and on since the summer of 2013.

Q: What's WR for any%?
A: It's posted on the bottom right corner of the stream.

Q: Why didn't you collect tribals in a certain area?
A: I come back later and get them because I can't reach them all without a jet pack.

Q: What are the boss names?
A: Tawfret Boss - Fett Bub
   Ichor Boss - Lurg
   Eschebone - Mechantids

Q: These cutscenes are so long, can't you skip them?
A: I skip all of the ones that I can.

Q: What's the difference between the English and Japanese versions of the game?
A: The only difference that matters for speedrunning is that the Japanese version lets you skip certain cutscenes.

Q: What normally makes you reset?
A: Losing a tribal when I need to save them immediately ends a run. Other than that, it's mostly just slow running that makes me reset.

Common run times that often lead to resetting:
  Goldwood 1: 7:57+
  Anubis 1: 13:50+
  Floyd Cutscene Ending: 20:55+
  Failing the Anubis Floyd mission (about 2 hours into a run)
  More than a 6 Cycle on Gem Quarry (about 2 and a half hours into a run)

Q: What's a 4/5/6 Cycle?
A: The Gem Quarry level requires you to shoot gems into a machine. Every time the gems are dropped to be shot is a cycle. A cycle is NOT a full rotation of the machine. A 4 Cycle is the best possible outcome and is difficult to consistently achieve.

Q: What's with the red logo above doors?
A: It's a life force door. It unlocks when I kill some or all of the nearby enemies.

Q: This area has a life force door, so why aren't you killing all of the enemies?
A: I only kill the necessary ones.

Q: Why does the life force door unlocking have a cutscene in some places but doesn't in others? Is it RNG?
A: It's consistent across every run, but there's no telling why some doors have a cutscene.

Q: What are your cats' names?
A: Bert (the big fat one) and Oliver (the little fat one with one eye).

Q: Why does Oliver have one eye?
A: His previous owners were neglectful assholes.

Q: What do your JFG themed emotes mean?
A: TribalDown - Dead tribals
   TribalThump - If I forget a tribal, especially if I don't find out until I'm trying to go to Asteroid
   MissedOne - There's a drone that I didn't kill that's keeping a life force door locked
   NotDeadYet - A drone keeping a life force door is on the ground writhing but hasn't faded yet
   TankerZ - Lupus segment
   KingDouche - Jeff, the tribal chief, is a dick. Seriously, fuck that guy.
