changing behaviour cancels whatever animation Twinsen is currently involved in, including ones that push him backwards.

Because of the compatibility issues it takes a few seconds to load up the game menu so you'll know what it is when you see it randomly stop. This is usually done with insane timing honed from hours of repetition, but occasionally I do it too soon or hit it once more than needed and accidentally pause it.

all text, cutscenes, and many non-player-controlled animations can be skipped.

I enjoy writing annoyingly long comments, but most of this game (ignoring storyline) is clear to see, so I'll focus on some of the tricks and sequence breaks which will make very little sense to most people.įirstly the tricks that are used throughout the run: There is also slight jumpiness sometimes and even more after a long period of recording but hopefully it won't detract too much from your viewing pleasure. This, combined with the recording and the game's overall graphic instability, has caused a few glitchy moments when quickly toggling Twinsen's behaviours.

Also to Allantois for starting a new LBA2 thread (which I then stole) and VippiN simply for having Twinsen in his avatar, which give me the kick I needed to try again after my original failure.įor this I used a WindowsXP patch (available on ) since the game is too old to run properly otherwise. Thanks to Radix an all the helpers of this great site, as well as the bizarre but friendly dwellers of magicball forums. I left it for a long while after that, but by coming back to it and discovering such neat routes and tricks my positive view on the game has increased tenfold. Of course I considered this for a speedrun immediately, but all I ended up with was a doomed single-segment attempt that I'd recorded with a video-camera on a dodgy laptop and clocking around 2.5 hours. This game has been a significant part of my life for years, I played through it repeatedly many years ago and came back to it at annual intervals to enjoy it again and again. Available in three versions: normal/low/high quality DivX. Speed run of Little Big Adventure 2: Twinsen's Odyssey in 9 segments with death abuse, completed on July 18 2006.
