| 3 | - | Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? |
| 3 | + | Q: What is RNG Manipulation? |
| 4 | - | A: No, I play on a Gamecube through a Gameboy Player using a Gameboy SP as a controller. |
| 4 | + | A: RNG stands for Random Number Generator, but in this game it isn't so random. In several instances, the randomness of the game can be manipulated to do exactly the same thing. Such a method is called RNG manipulation |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | - | Q: Why do you choose Mudkip? |
| 6 | + | Q: How do you do RNG manipulation? |
| 7 | - | A: Because the Mudkip evolution family is the best for the speedrun, without it, my time would not be nearly as fast. |
| 7 | + | A: It'll generally start with a save and reset, and then a specific set of events. Sometimes it involves using psynergy in the overworld, sometimes it will involve attack canceling, somethings it'll be timing when to trigger certain events. |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | - | Q: Do you really need to use Mudkip specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon? |
| 9 | + | Q: What does using psynergy do? |
| 10 | - | A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge my World Record. |
| 10 | + | A: Using psynergy in the overworld will advance particular instances of the RNG. Using Mind Read against nothing, for example, can change the next encounter from 2 Oozes to a Gnome, and allow me to be able to flee from it instantly. |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | - | Q: Why do you catch Rayquaza then? |
| 12 | + | Q: What is attack canceling? |
| 13 | - | A: Because outrage outrage outrage |
| 13 | + | A: Attack canceling is when you go to attack, and then cancel that attack by pressing B. Simple right? This simple action can also manipulate the RNG, generally is used to change to RNG from not being able to escape battles, to being able to flee. |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | - | Q: Why did you keep reseting after getting Mudkip? |
| 15 | + | Q: What is retreat warping? |
| 16 | - | A: If it looks like there is no reason, it's generally because my stats were bad. I need to have great IVs in attack and special stats otherwise I can not complete the run fast enough |
| 16 | + | A: Retreat warping is a glitch where you have less than 6 PP, use retreat, and go through a loading zone. In certain locations, it will warp you to the incorrect location, which will advance you through the game quicker. |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | - | Q: What stats are good and what stats are bad? |
| 18 | + | Q: What is save retreat warping? |
| 19 | - | A: I check my stats as soon as I pick Mudkip. I will reset unless I have at least 13 attack, 9 speed, 11 special attack. |
| 19 | + | A: Similar but a bit more complex, save retreat warping is where you have less than 6 PP, use retreat, save and reset. This reloads you on the first room of the dungeon with the co-ordinates of where you were. In some cases, you then navigate off screen, and find doors there that progress you quicker than normally. |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | - | Q: About what are the chances of getting a Mudkip with stats you will keep? |
| 21 | + | |
| 22 | - | A: I will keep about 1 in 9 Mudkips. |
| 22 | + | A: The current world record is 4:37:49 real time, 4:17 game time |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | - | Q: Why do you want to be on low health? |
| 24 | + | Q: Does this game use real time or game time? |
| 25 | - | A: To try and activate Torrent, which is the ability of Mudkip and its evolutions |
| 25 | + | A: Real time, due to all the saving and reseting, game time is not viable. |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | - | Q: What does Torrent do? |
| 27 | + | Q: What is 100%? |
| 28 | - | A: When Mudkip is below 1/3rd of it's max health, its Water type moves are boosted by 1.5x making him much more powerful, and thus faster. |
| 28 | + | A: All Djinn |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | Q: Why isn't Deadbeard included? | |
| 31 | - | A: The current world record is 2:50:32 game time, 2:55:42 real time |
| 31 | + | A: Deadbeard is just some guy, no collectible is gotten from him, it's just some other dude. He has no real relevance at all. |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | - | Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time? |
| 33 | + | Q: Is all stone tablets included in GS2 100%? |
| 34 | - | A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM |
| 34 | + | A: Yes it is, and even then you don't need to fight all optional bosses (You can get Iris without fighting Dulluhan, for example) |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | - | Q: Why do NOT you choose the girl? |
| 36 | + | |
| 37 | - | A: Because the male is actually faster, because the female counterpart has lower defense stat pokemon. Also she is NOT cute :3 |
| 37 | + | A: Not really, with all the RNG manipulation this game is like 5% luck 95% skill in my opinion. |
