[Segmented] The Unsolved Mystery is no more

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- We have finally done it. Almost decade after the first development of this theory, speedrunners have finally cracked the code
For anyone wondering, this is Poki Skip. A way to bypass having to get the O2 mask from pokitaru which consequently skips planet Gaspar as well. Sadly (and maybe luckily), this doesn't save any time as the "intended" planet order can be done really fast.
Watch @ThaRixer's video here for more information: • Ratchet & Clank's Unso...
Fun fact, the proxy that made all of this possible was found exactly 3 years after ThaRixer posted his vid. Coincidence? Probably.
Wow. Being one of the people who worked on making this a reality for several years this almost makes me tear up a little. The way you reach the second location is some of the best out of the box thinking I've ever seen when it comes to speedrunning. It's such a beautiful thing to see this happen after over 10 years of trial and error and trying out the craziest strategies imaginable. Congratulation sir, you have truly defeated a giant here.
Great job guys
I hope you make an updated video
Sadly, this probably won't happen, as Ricky already has a lot going on
Bro's gotta update his video now
I love your work Ricky. I am still waiting for the updated video.
@@Pentali ah I see. It's a shame it's not possible on the PS2
3:28 the crabs were so impressed, they decided not to attack Clank out of respect
Maybe they don't attack until your second visit to Orxon
RaC speed runners doing everything they can to skip the vacation planet, cause they never take a fucking break 😭💀
The vacation planet also just happens to have the longest "autoscroller" section in the game.
So I see that as a win
They need to switch off their nerd circuits and have some fun
Clank: ''Ratchet! I've managed to get the Hoven infobot! Chairman Drek is planning to blow up and entire planet with a giant planetbuster, we need to get there now!''
Ratchet: ''Great... does this mean we can go hoverboarding now?''
real
"dude i could be gaming"
Clank making sure Ratchet doesn't waste time on the beach.
He's like: "I guess I just gotta do it myself"
Better not let Ratchet see this one.
The way he just backhands the birds right as the snap at him is the funniest thing I've seen in a while
"kindly, shup up" clank says, bodying the bird without even stopping

@@snowworm4601phenomenal thank you. I've rewatched it 8 times now and I'm still chuckling
22 years and we're STILL learning new stuff about this game!
It's kinda insane. And it's not only this game. Rac2, UYA and all the other games in the series also still get big developments
What about Size Matters?@@Pentali
I remember seeing the hype around trying to figure this skip out, it's crazy that it's now a reality. Good job!
now the endless trials to optimize it.
My god! The giant has been beheaded! I remember seeing all the bounties out for this skip and the time estimates yeaaaars ago, this was just a pipe dream till now. Incredible work!!!
One thing I find incredible about glitch hunters and speedrunners is the way they always seem to make the impossible possible!
I only just got into ratchet and clank speed running, but seeing the poki skip finally done after such a long time of dreaming for it, this is truly a moment in history for speed runs
Kinda interesting that in order to do poki skip, you need to get Pokitaru first
You don't need to, but it's faster because it teleports you towards where you want to go
@ps3archive159 that's cool. It looks more risky considering the snappers and frogs
@@Pentali Be cooler if pokitaru wasn't even grabbed at all
As a longtime fan of the series, the fact that this skip takes six minutes to get the infobot, the exact amount of time the Plumber suggested Clank go back in order to save Ratchet in A Crack in Time, almost makes me want to cry.
Poetic, isn't it? Surely it was all planned by insomniac
Learned about this from ThaRixer video. So cool to see it so early after being uploaded!
So as theorized; Poki Skip isn't even a timesave. But it exists!
Exactly. Just knowing it's there and it's possible is more than enough for me
Am i wrong or would Poki Skip even work since wouldnt you need the Thruster Pack for the ground pound after the Drek fight?
You do need the Thruster Pack after defeating Drek, yes. However, the game hands it to you during the final phase. So it's not really true packless, but rather a "don't purchase any packs" kind of situation
Congration! This is really slick stuff. You guys did awesome!
This is incredible! Im curious to know what the save would do on veldin orbit during the space walk sections. Since the o2 mask isnt in Ratchet's inventory would it still equip?
It just equips. It's like the Thruster Pack. If you don't have it and enter the drek fight, the game just gives you it. Only real difference is not being able yo breathe underwater
@@Pentalieven if you somehow don't have it, I heard that there aren't any death triggers for not having it in, so you'd just do the section without the helmet
Yeah, the game never actually checks whether you have the mask or not except on orxon and if you're underwater
Im not even that deep in the speedrun community, but i have dreamed about this!! Thank you so much for not giving up and trying (and erroring lol)!
I went through all kinds of emotions watching ThaRixer's video lol. Thanks for everyone who contributed to making this dream a reality
Go fanboy somewhere else
@@lukemorgan6166 I don't really see what you're getting at
This honestly made my day more then Christmas.
Ain't no wayyyy!!!!!!
Congratulations So much i've Been waiting for this for long.
Great job man 👍
This is amazing! We have lived to see such a historical moment!
No way!!!! 😮 wow amazing. Literally this specific lore is what got me into RAC speed running. So cool to see if get solved all these years later!
The fact that you got this and in sub 10 is phenomenal. Good job
Because of clanks normal movement speed, it looks like clanks going on a stroll untill he breaks tge laws of physics so casually and just keeps going
This may only be segmented, and I only heard about this from Xem just a few days ago, but I really hope that in the future, this legendary skip that was once unsloved, becomes rta viable.
If anything, I'd like to see Poki Skip as another speedrun category for RaC1 NG+, like "RaC1 NG+ w/ Poki Skip" for example.
I may not be a speedrunner, but I'd think doing that would serve its honor, since its probably slower than the current route
I don't know if Poki Skip could benefit 100%, it may not, but I'm just guessing.
There is one category so far where poki skip would be faster, which is ng+ packless. And people have already discussed doing IL (individual level) runs of it, which ig could be a good way to implement it into the leaderboards
Massive props to the whole community for this
Been waiting to see this for years, that pos 2 proxy is slick as hell
dude mad respect seriously, i didnt think id even see it in the next 10 years but i knew the community was so close, ricky just made it seem like an impossibility youve conquered!
Just a few days ago I saw a nice documentary about the unsolved poki skip and that only one bot location was still not found how to skip and how close we are. Amazing job
Very Epic, even I kind of want to see some runs that use this just so that it gets used.
Wow. It took years of finding the exact possible glitches u could do. Proud of the community
I just randomly felt like rewatching ThaRixers video on this yesterday, you're not weshansen7892 but it'll do. Incredible
I've also dreamed of this after seeing ThaRixer's video on it and it feels so unreal it finally happened! A shame that this doesn't save any time... unless someone figures out how to do it faster, but that's bit of a stretch since this already seems pretty much as fast as it can be... maybe in some niche category this could find use...
Been waiting for this moment. Congrats!!
After all these years.... What an honor to see this....
That was awesome! My jaw was dropped throughout the whole video. I'm gonna be sharing this with my circle of squares lol
Woah! I'm alive to see it!~ I can't wait to see this done unsegmented~
Actually, I feel like I'm a little late to the party, still an utterly jaw dropping display~
This is absolutely incredible! As a layman I have to ask, how feasible is this for RTA? I'm no speedrunner but most of this seems pretty feasible in my eyes
I can definitely see it being done RTA. The plattform boost is kinda random but there's an alternate way to get there. The only real problem would probably be the second location, which requires a frame perfect pause after a proxy, which sucks
@@Pentali Thank you for the response! :) This should save a good minute or two if done optimally, right?
@@ZPixel17 sadly not. The current speedrun route for the planets that are skipped with this sits at about 6:15 while this run would be closer to 6:45 if i used the same timing as rta runs. And with the lack of movement that clank has and without a consistent plattform boost, i don't see this ever being faster in an RTA setting. And honestly, im kinda glad it slower. This would be a real pain to do in runs
@@Pentali Darn! Still an amazing achievement either way. What I would like to see is a RAC low%, visiting as few planets and getting as few items as possible. This would be useful in such a run at least :D
Hate to be the one to bring the bad news, but this only works in ng+ because you need the goodies menu
This probably won't save any time due to how convoluted the routing is
Bro i cant believe you actually got good job man
I'm mostly surprised that people figured out super jump before all these spots where you can apparently just.. punch away from a wall to clip through? Speedrunning is weird sometimes..
(But now I'm just curious if the game cares if Ratchet goes to outer space areas without ever getting the O2 mask)
It doesn't. Also there have been some recent developments which have made this skip 2 minutes faster than what is shown in this vid
This definitely deserves a Deadlocked Victory screen.
Wait i should've done that lmao
@ps3archive159 It's the best song in the series, it's triumph encarnate.
You dropped this moving so fast 👑
From this day on "Glitch hop" is not just a music genre
Do you think it could be optimized in order to save time in speedrun?
Honestly, even if it was optimized (for example a proxy from position 1 to up to the plattform where position 3 is), i don't think people would actually go for it due to the sheer difficulty.
Though it is already theoretically faster for ng+ packless, so it's not completely useless
7 min to get to the planet buster, 3 min at the planet buster
What are you referring to here?
@Pentali this planet was 7 min long and the ice planet has a strat to fly over the ravine and instantly start the turret segment, before again flying back over the ravine
dang can't wait for tharixer to make another in debt youtube video about poki skip.
HOLY FUCK I CANT BELIEVE ITS DONE
I really wanna see some of the original insomniac devs react to this lol
sick
.....SO THAT'S HOW A SO LONG GRINDING OF THE COMMUNITY LOOKING ALIKE, HEHE
.......WELL, WHO WOULD'VE THINK, THO.....ABOUT NO COLLISION AT THAT POINT
Skips a whole planet yet doesn't save any time, man Clank is so slow lol
Unbelievably impressive nonetheless, good work everyone!
Cryosleep!? there's no way I'm gonna (DED)
This is insane!!! How many planets/ info bots are required to finish the game?
Minimum setup (any%): 19 planets (i think)
Maximum setup (ng+ qe): 1 planet
Ng+ with IMG: 7 planets
Ng+ no IMG (the category of this run): 16 planets
0:53 why the jumpcut?
the video is spliced of different takes because this skip is too hard to do in one take quickly
Still very impressive@@isakaaa431
Omgg congrats! Thats rlly cool
incoming rixer video
we did it guys... (i did nothing but we did it)
Very Nice!!
Omg yes
Amazing!
It's one of nature's greatest my- SOLUTIONS!!!☝️🤓
My gosh
¿And the pokitaru skip?
New category maybe? Min items or something
Ng+ low% is now possible without collecting/buying a single item which is cool ig
It really happn🥲🥲
Wow, just wow 👏👏👏👏
This is sooo insaneeee!! i was sure was impossible
no music?!
Makes the cuts much less noticable. I think I'll be editing in some music when making a full segmented for this game sometime in the future
Holy shit, it actually happened
let's hope someone crazy enough gonna try it RTA
that's wild dude. crazy!!
I thought it would never be done bravo ratchet community bravo
hot damn
Why kill the bird at 0:40 but not the one at 4:01 ?
I cried
we did it 🎉
POKI SKIP REAL
Impressive
What is the time on the normal route this would skip?
The segments that are skipped add up to about 5:50
@@Pentali with that timing, seeing your 2.0 version's runtime... if that route was RTA viable, the meme may not be dead yet. Pokiskip could be a genuine improvement to the any route. The challenge is to find an run viable version that loses less than 1m30
The thing is, some people (mainly me and a runner called ataappi) have done it in runs. Though I don't think anyone's gotten it fast enough to actually save time yet. Check out my ng+ packless pb, and you'll find it. It saves much more in ng+ packless since there's no timeless due to all the planets being slower
could this allow for a possible min% run? also the footage is apparently considered of the third game by youtube
The problem is that it's only possible in ng+ dues to the goodies menu being required. But sure, ng+ low% could also be a fun challenge.
Also, YT kinda sucks at categorizing games, so ig you just have to live with it
@@Pentali you aren’t the only one, so fair on the 3rd used I rate as of the first. Also I believe other games uses extra files for their min% run, so it isn’t a stretch for me.
holy **SHIT**
Madness
What's with the skips/edits at 00:44 and 3:51?
Its a segmented run, so its a bunch of clips spliced together. I always try to make them as seamless as possible, and it seems like i have succeeded seeing as you only noticed 2 out of like 20 or 30
@@Pentali I see, thanks for explaining. I believe I noticed quite a few more, but I thought those ones were all in-game stutters! You really did do a great job.
GREAT GOING EVERYONE
Dude that was awesome
OMG finally
LETS GOOOOOOO
rta viable
Surely
what the pog
But what about Gemlik?
Lyckily, there is no death trigger for whether you have the o2 mask or not. The game just assumes you do
Oh so an O2 Maskless run is possible, gotcha. That's actually hilarious
Congrats mate :)
Looks harder than find my father
Relatable 😞😞
It easy get some milk, but not come back after it. Some "man" cant do both@@Pentali
NO WAY
WOAHH
Damn that’s impressive gg
no flippin way
