Resident Evil 2 Remake - Hardcore Claire [2nd] Speedrun -  

lol

What about how his face warps whenever you pause and skip that cut scene where he grabs Claire?

Dude i noticed the way he says loct and was like "I cant be the only one who feels this way when they hear loct" 😂

Heather S. Thanks , when he did the first run fail I was like what?

this

Patrik Toth it's harder than you think I thought I could literally just copy him but nope

It ez bro Just copy his movement I dojt copy his gameplay though I copy top 1 pro speedrunner Ez boom. All S rank

Same problem and I can't beat him and the knife does not work for me so I have some serious questions about that 'hardcore' diffeculty in this playthrough...If I try to knife I instantly get eaten by Birkin

@@instrumentaldude8349 it has to do with his high framerate

Knife does 3x times damage on PC

Only works on PC due to higher framerate, the knife hits on larger hitboxes do more damage and thr knife hits multiple times on higher framerates, ergo literally double to triple the damage.

Did on a regular old PS4 with the knife. You have to wait about 5-6 footsteps from the door then slash like crazy when he's close. Have to test on Leon but Claire for sure can do it.

Maximize your camera speed when not aiming, use control style C (R1/RB for running; L3 for ammo swapping), and get used to holding run and tapping O/B to quickly change directions and camera; when running it works in all 360 degrees. The aim part comes from pre-aiming by either looking slightly up or down. The biggest issues console runs into is actually the lack of increasing the FPS to deal bonus knife damage (most runners use 120fps), and the slower menuing/puzzles. The latter is actually slower on console since it seems to run at 30fps during those bits.

@@ouka6686 great idea...gna have to readjust my muscle memory. the L3 for running has always been so janky to me. always got me bit in really clutch scenarios when im trying to skirt past alot of things.

E1V1A knife is still strong and good to use, just doesn't delete bosses like it does here.

Totally agree, this was wicked. Carcinogen does a no hits run for Leon that's pretty interesting as to how to tackle certain encounters without taking damage

@@ryanbothwell1445 yea when i saw his recent upload i was like finally something to help me out for that S+..then i realized some strats are still scary as fuck lol. and its mainly for pc.

I didn't give up. I just beat this haha!

xwDUSTwx haha good job

MaverickneoGamer yeah, this is insane. He knows all the tricks and got all the skills. I don’t think I have the time to try cuz it’d be so much time consuming to achieve it

best thing to do is just play it over and over again and familiarize yourself with everything. Leon A is probably the easiest of the two because of the weapons he has. Just know the areas you need to shut off or kill most zombies when you know you have to come back on an area. Other than that, repetition is always key. Like you at first I had doubts, but seeing that sub 2:30 run being pulled off is a great feeling.

MaverickneoGamer i literally just watch these and pause as i go and always end up with an extra hour on there or so, but they show you the best and fastest ways and routes, just follow them. Rinse and repeat bosses and those trusty 3 saves until you get through , practice on standard and unlock unlimited samurai edge and you’ll get a feel for what you need to do and some good practice with auto aim off, standard is truly still difficult at times and I just used it to practice for hard-core and then I got into the sewers for first save, that helps a lot

+Ben Connor hey thanks for the commment. Mind if I ask what “trusty 3 saves mean”? I just beat Leon A for the first time last night and am doing a Claire 2nd run (B?) now and I want to unlock the cool guns and shit like I did back in Re5

SunbroSolaireTV to unlock the rocket launcher and Gatling guns you only get 3 saves total. Usually people save before each boss

Unfortunately he was found dead

He knows where they're at, but at that moment in the run, you can hear Mr. X right behind him. Had he ran into that corner to get the bullets, he'd have been grabbed. Not to mention the only reason he would've needed to grab those bullets was due to the bad RNG of zombie placement causing him to have to use bullets to stagger more zombies than one would need to in a perfect run.

Where did you do your 3 saves? i think i fucked up with mine. might have to do all over again.

@@PositiveOnly00 the first time you get to the chiefs office 2- after or before chess puzzle before Birkin 2 3- just before you get Sherry's vaccine / in the nest when you walk down the corridor with the red bulbs on either side the is a save room to the right. This is just before the triple Birkin showdown. Using the knife on him works, this is not a cheat, Capcom left it in on purpose. You can use the infinite knife and still get S+ (AND MINIGUN)

my first save was going to be right before aligator mr x just killed me in the prison and alll over again i have to do it. ffs @@mezzuna

@@mezzuna i had no flashbang to stun him so i dodged his hit then through a grenade at zombies blocking me then he grabbed me and 1 hit kiiled me. i thought he was gonna throw me or hit like he alway does thats why i had aid sprays with me and herbs.

@@PositiveOnly00 I had assumed that you were playing the scenario that is relevant to this video. Leon's campaign is going to require different tactics

Jacob Hedeen If you miss the grenade launcher at the station it spawns in the lab in the room where you leave Sherry.

You don’t need it until you get to the lab so when we speedrun we generally don’t get the shotgun or grenade launcher. You can but you lose like 2 minutes.

it seems that you need to run from the side with which hand he was punching, so if he punches with his right hand you need to run around him to the left otherwise he will grab you with his free hand which he holds to the back during the punch.

Well I mean yeah I've done EVERYTHING and he still grabs me. If you look at Distortion2 he literally touches Mr.X after a miss and he never gets grabbed. I always get grabbed no matter how he punches, no matter what side I run to. That's what the issue is.

@@xxIKONICKxx you can do that, you can basically run through his fist after attack animation finished.

@@Grom84 yeah I've just chalked it up to it being a bug in my game. Oh well. I can still s+ hardcore with that bug in the game anyways.

yes, it takes longer.

Yes this doesn't translate very well

Do enough damage and you can knock him down with one crane hit, and earn the trophy “gotcha”

@@wrxrob2589 I found it takes at least 4 downs to do that though, in the same amount of time you can just trigger the crane twice.

The speed loader for the revolver fits the technical definition of a clip.

Pete Martin knife trick only works on Pc

Yep. To answer further, the reason why the knife only works on PC is because if framerate. The way the knife works, the higher your framerate, essentially the more hits register all at once, allowing you to practically do three times the damage with one swing.

I did the knife trick on console but u need to use the flashbang took a couple tries tho

It's not a knife "trick" though. Literally, it's frame rate. He's doing three times as much damage in a single swing than you do on console. That's why it takes multiple flashes.

@@Pixel-City nah, knife does a lot of damage on consoles as well. Might not work as fast but it works. Just gotta know when to hit and keep hitting with infinite knife ^^

Oh GOD I was too tired when I put this up :( lulz

@@Bawkbasoup word around the campfire is you can use infinite knife and stilll get S+. Say it ain't so?

Have really good aim and ammo conservation. Also go back for the MG at least.

That's part of the charm bro, narrow hallways add to the claustrophobia and dread, it's very well executed I think. Also Resi 3 is rumoured to be in production and DLC for 2 is out next week I believe

@@ryanbothwell1445 there's claustrophobia then there's tedium on the scales I'm sure this tipped over on some people's play through's in fact one of the main criticisms of this game from everyone I heard was a Dodge feature, yes the defence items are nice but I'd have swapped them for a button prompt to dodge instead. Like I said it was only a minor thing and even on my second playthrough it got like every other RE game surplus ammo, 6 or 7 mixed herbs left over by the end lol

@@Rogers1000 There was no dodge in the original, old fans, including myself would kicked up a fuss about adding QTE's to Resi 2, they are a massive culprit in why the franchise began to die. As they increased button prompts in 4, 5 and 6 they caused a change from Survial Horror genre into shit Action games. The people requesting a dodge feature are just shit at the game, simple.

@@ryanbothwell1445 a Dodge feature is not a qte it's a button press like in batman Arkham series or any other game with a Dodge feature. And back in og RE2 you didn't need a Dodge because things were slower and easier to dodge. I'm 37 I had all re games day 1 release don't talk to me about being a fan lol

@@Rogers1000 As have I, and don't presume seniority as meaning you're more right, the fact is limited defensive items are still part of the inventory management system which is a core element of survival horror and classic Resi as a whole. The ability to dodge an attack when prompted is not limited and honestly would require no skill if you could just do it every time, for all intents and purposes it's just a mini QTE. Stupid button prompts like this are what nearly killed the genre. Capcom stayed true to the roots and the game sold over 3 million units in a week, I think the games just fine as is based on that.
