White Rabbit: Let's sacrifice stealth for speed.
Alice: *Bitch please...you're the only one slowing me down rn*
I just finished this game and it took for me 16 hours. And I'm gonna say that your speedrun is absolutely crazy and it's fun to watch😄
Deserves more than 1500 views, I'm sad that this fun, incredibly unique game has fallen into such obscurity
Considering it's not even available for purchase anymore outside of ebay it's surprising it has the following it still has. Other than that yeah, it would be nice if it was less obscure.
@@madandy7197 You can also purchase it digitally from Humble Bundle and the Microsoft store.
Простите, что пишу на русском, но хочу в любом случае выразить уважение к вам и к вашему прохождению! Играю в Алису с 5 лет(я не шучу), но никогда не достигнуть такого мастерства. Сейчас снова перепрохожу и возьму пару приёмов для прохождения из вашего видео.
Сидела всё видео с открытым ртом просто! А ещё на протяжении всего видео эти возгласы Алисы забавляли))) Ахахаха
Я рада, что про эту замечательную игру не забывают даже спустя 20 лет. Спасибо вам за видео!
Thank you so much for your words, lets hope that the community can keep this game alive for a long time still =)
@@madandy7197 ❤❤❤
фанат Алисы?)))
Уважаю
Тоже вот сейчас собираюсь перепройти сначала первую часть,а потом уже и вторую
Уж больно люблю я эти игры
Кстати,рекомендую посмотреть спидран по второй части,вот там я реально сидел и просто офигефал от всего происходящего.
@@godeater1599 первую часть прошла, теперь уже вторую почти)
@@madandy7197 Большое спасибо за speedrun, хотелось бы видеть ваше наиболее быстрое полноценное прохождение (не сегментированное), но в любом случае очень интересно было наблюдать!! Очень круто что у данной игры есть speedrun community!!!
This game really fascinated me as a kid, and still does, the atmosphere is so unique. Graphics were top notch when it came out.
Bossfight was so epic, I want to cry
Just finished this game for the first time, took me 12h.
Now I can enjoy this speedrun with no concerns.
wow I never knew the ice staff could be used to make shortcuts! amazin run man, it was really impressive how you killed the queen in her cutscene lol
Quake 3 Announcing New Gladiator : Alice!
I think I would've liked this game. I remember seeing it on store shelves but I never managed to convince my parents to buy it for me and for one reason or another never ended up saving the money myself. It's fun to see playthroughs and speedruns of games I haven't had a chance to play myself. Good job!
I'd still recommend playing this game, although it's dated its art style and atmosphere is like no other. It's hard to find but a copy on eBay pops up once in a while. If you haven't played it I'd recommend the sequel as well :)
It was amazing dude omg
The game is still a gem to this day, I played it for the first time last year and was one of the best games experiences I've had , I found some parts really hard tho. If u have a console the game is included as a dlc on Alice madness returns
I imagine how was Mad Hatter gobsmacked, when Alice just took the Pocket Watch and got away to rescue Griffin.)
This is a masterpiece I must study and lurn from
"Ah!"
- Alice
Red Queen: (Preparing her villain speech which is about to be given right after Alice beats one of her tentacles.)
(few seconds later)
Also Red Queen: ....
33:41 WHAT!
great job brodie!
Geez, this is a crazy run. The way you use the damage boost from the screams is top notch. How many tries did some of those take?
Thanks! Depends on the boost in particular, some are not that hard while others took hundreds of attempts to get it right. The RNG portions of this run such as enemy placement, enemy damage boosts or getting the Jack Bomb through the gratings in the door on Mirror Image are what took the most time to do.
@@madandy7197 Was you hitting the ant guards with the cards a few times a way to make them throw you faster? I always thought them picking you up was random. Also, I have only played this game a dozen or so times and you beat it so fast this isn't an annoyance to you... But those f'in Beetle bug things that drop bombs constantly are the worst enemy ever. Like holy shit for a casual player like me they were always bothersome. Anyway, this is such a good speedrun it looks like a damn TAS at times. Good for you.
@@jinc.6180 Thank you so much for you words, glad you liked it 😁 The beetles are not really an issue when speedrunning, you're going fast enough even on an RTA run where they have no chance at even hitting you, but for casual play yeah, this game is filled with annoying enemies.
As far as ants are concerned, that's actually a technique called Ant Clipping. When they pick you up you are momentarily in a noclip state and if they release you into a solid object you can be flung on top of the world/blocks or go through walls. I use the cards just push them to the right angle where the clip can happen, if you want to see this trick used to the fullest I might suggest checking out my Ant% speedrun on this channel aswell, where I beat the game in 17 minutes 😊
incredible finesse
So, this is Wonderland for Alice on drugs with energetics?
P.s. good job mate. Love this game
American Mcgee has quite the imagination xD
Amazing!!!
I just got into this game not too long ago, even though it’s pretty old, but i really like it and once i finish it im gonna try speedrunning, the ice staff skips are pretty difficult for me and idk if its because im just bad or because im on console, im pretty sure the jump boost is also not possible on console but im not 100% sure, anyways the game is still fun enough to speedrun without those things, nice gameplay, also what difficulty do you play on? im guessing the easiest since that is usually allowed for most runs of any difficulty based game
sorry checked the beginning, saw that its easy
Hey! Jumping in general in this game is tricky enough on PC since everything is pretty "slippery" so on console that would just be that much more difficult. But you know, practice makes perfect :) Damage boosting if it's not from the eye staff is very RNG and it's almost not used at all on RTA runs, so I wouldn't bother too much with it. This is a segmented run after all and some of the skips took me hundreds of tries while not saving a whole lot from alt strats.
Difficulty is on easy, since bosses can be killed more quickly.
If you wanna try speedrunning in AMA be sure to stop by the discord server :)
@@madandy7197 Thanks i will stop by
Cool run!!!!!!
wow this is truly impressive
Very impressive, although speeding through American Mcgee's Alice feels like sacrilege to me lol.
Here lemme help you with the speedrun for a bit alice 14:15
Wow… amazing
Wow what a don, great stuff
I often replace the soundtracks of other games I play with the soundtrack from this one.
Коэльный сказал навалить лукасов нашему льву. My job here is done))
Man, I am still trying to beat my first playthrough of it lol. The second one is easier for my gaming style now tho. Still love both games!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Oww!
From Koala with love)
Very cool run. Strafe jumping in third person must be a trip at first
It is a little weird in the beginning yeah, but you get used to it 🙂
could you please explain to me what happens at 02:09? is it some kind of bug in the game?
The trigger to make the doors appear and start to flip is at the top of the level, but the door models don't actually spawn, just their collisions.
Woow amazing, great speedrun
how do you do that? (skip some things)
and why do more loading screens appear? can you give me some tips?? xD : c
Thanks! I added extra loading screens for the moments where I use load clipping to clip through triggers. Quicksaving and quickloading is a techique. Each skip in the run is different so, if you want anything about some specific ones I'll gladly explain them =)
@@madandy7197 OK thank you very much :)
One of my doubts is how you skip some scenes. (for example cheshire and the rabbit)
Does it have to do with quick save and quick load?
PD: sorry if it is misspelled but I use the google translator xD I speak Spanish
@@TheLoganuchiha No problem, don't worry =) Yes, skipping cutscenes is basically using quicksave and quickload while holding a directional key to clip through the triggers. It can work for almost all triggers in the game (depending on their size), otherwise for bigger triggers you can use pause clip like i did in Castle Keep.
@@madandy7197 ok I will try to do it xD :), thank you very much for tips
I like how the first spoken cutscene in the run is Alice reading about diabetic getting-small lolipops. Anyway this run is pretty kickass, it's nice knowing people run this game aswell, but I do wonder how did you get your game to look so good? Ya know, widescreen and a really high field of view. I can set a custom resolution for the game but whenever it saves it crashes (both autosaves and custom saves), I don't know if it's due to the pictures it takes crashing the game due to the resolution (ya know the save file pics, it takes em by itself and stuff) or anyhting else but it straight up crashes everytime it saves.
I would've just put the game on a 1280 x 640 resolution that's available ingame (despite my laptop being 1366 x 768), but for some reason whenever I do that it fucks up my resolution and I need to set it back to the 800 x 400 setting. So my only options are to either run the game on a modern custom setting via commands or config altering and crashing everytime I complete a level, or stay with 360 and 4:3 like it's 2000.
Yeah I rambled a bit but for some reason resolution is just very annoying on my laptop for some reason and I did wonder if there was any way to fix the issue. Peace.
Actually i just used the 1280x1024 resolution in-game and recorded it as is, I didn't really do anything else. I tried using the highest one at 1600x1200 but it just opens in a window all bloated, so that was not really usable for me (don't really have a big screen myself).
Anyway, thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed the run :)
@@madandy7197 heh, you're welcome. Well then that's peculiar, seems like my laptop is just being a huge bitch lol.
@@Densester Sounds like the same problem I have with the 1600x1200 resolution, the 1280x1024 is probably too much for your screen to handle :)
@@madandy7197 oof, I see, probably cause it exceeds the 768 height eh? Well then I guess I'll just have to play on 4:3 :p
How you know all those shortcuts and make all those jumps? Incredible
Thank you! Some skips were found over the years, others recently. We find them by mostly trying out some theories or attempting to shave a few seconds off the time 😊
@@madandy7197 so amazing again! That’s a lot of patience!
Quake Alice Edition... 😂😂😂
Well the game was developed on the Quake 3 engine so...it has all the quirks of the base game xD
this game is basically Bayonetta in wonderland
I haven't played this game in a long time . and I played it at about 7-8 years old and then I was very much afraid. and now I decided to see strany for this game . and I was very surprised when I saw that Alice can be passed so quickly. and there is one question about what difficulty you played . and actually I'm Russian, I didn't want to give you any problems about the translation if you suddenly decided to translate.

Speedruns of AMA are usually done on Easy, including this one, since bosses take quite a while longer to beat on the harder difficulties 🙂
@@madandy7197 I see, thank you for your answer
Mad Andy can you tell me something. I started playing this game and looked up Chapters list to see my progress. Everything was fine until I went from "Mirror Image" subchapter to "Crazed Clockwork" subchapter. But according to the list there is an entire chapter in between that i skipped somehow. Land of Fire and Brimstone. Can you explain to me what happened??
Land of Fire and Brimstone is made up of Burning Curiosity and Jabberwock's Lair, directly after About Face (Hatter boss battle). There is no chapter in between Mirror Image and Crazed Clockwork =)
@@madandy7197 Figured that's the case. The Alice Wiki has put fire and brimstone and behind the looking glass in the wrong order. Thanks for confirming.
@@babbisp1 No problem =)
Why does Alice's jumping sound like demon girl recieving damage? UGH
I guess that jumping so high must be a big strain on someone of her stature
36:50 dude wtf? I thought final boss is in its whole new level, why it's behind the curtain?
When you beat the 1st queen the 2nd queen gets teleported into the black box behind the throne for the next cutscene, thus she can be killed before even getting to the final arena.
How did you gott past the falling rocks in Pool of Tears?
The rocks fall only when you activate the cutscene triggers, which can be clipped through by saving and loading while holding a directional key (like skipping the knife in the first map for example)
@@madandy7197 thanks! i'll give it a try. i'm attempting to pass the game without dying and some of the shorcuts you use seem interesting!
WHAT!?
Как скипеть сцены так быстро?Я нажимаю на ecs,пробел но не скипает
19:25 how?
That's load clipping. Basically quickly saving and reloading while pressing a directional key can allow you to clip through triggers without activating them.
how do possible? are you maker?
38
is that strafe jumping?
Yes
@@madandy7197 ok
Woah, the final boss fight is completely fucked up. What happened there? Lol.
Well, basically, by killing the 1st queen before the cutscene is over you regain control of Alice during the first death cutscene. Then I used the dead time watch to give me more time. During the next cutscene the game teleports the 2nd Queen from the final arena to the black box behind the throne, and you have a narrow window of time to kill her, and by doing so activating the end game cutscene. You have roughly 20s worth of time before the queen does an animation which cancels her death and basically softlocks the game, so it has to be done extremely quickly =)
@@madandy7197 Hahaha that's crazy! It's fun to read about the details on how it works exactly. :P
Awesome stuff.
How you jump so far?
Strafe Jumping, you can look at any tutorial for Quake 3 Arena, it works the same in this game.
@@madandy7197 thank you for answering so fast
@@exclairlmao No problem, happy to help 😊
I woyld love to start speedrunning this game but i def need someone to help with that lol
Feel free to join our discord server! Link is in the video description 😊
i don t understand how the fuck you broke the final boss (is a bug when you skip quickly the cutscene or what??) and why you take so litte damage at duchess?? BTW GG and at the ants part i was like: o.O
The duchess is pretty simple, the jackbomb got stuck inside her model and was shielding alice from damage. Also note that while the duchess is doing her "eating you" attack, alice does not take damage from anything else, allowing you to be right near to the explosion without dieing. The queen trick is a little more complicated...I'll attempt to explain it.
There is a glitch to make the eye staff fire automatically, this allows you to charge up a secondary attack with the firing speed of the first, which is about 4 or 5 times slower. Basically, this allows you to kill the queen during the first cutscene, which triggers the second cutscene during the first cutscene. However, as soon as the first cutscene is finished, it overwrites the second cutscene allowing you to regain control of alice. During the 2nd cutscene the game teleports the 2nd queen inside the black box behind the throne, which gives you a narrow window of time to kill her (activating the end game cutscene) before the game completely softlocks. Of course to kill the 2nd form fast enough you need to use the eyestaff glitch, otherwise it's impossible.
That's basically it, hope I was helpful xD
AAhh. AAhh. Ok
bye
He has hacks on 19:06
No, I hit the console bind key by accident while pressing escape to save for the next segment. If you actually pause on that frame you will see that there's nothing written in the console.
@@madandy7197 oh my bad
That was amazing, keep up the good work, sir
Love this game
