Midnight Club 2 - Savo - Stage V - Traction & Stage VI - Apex (Emu Only)
Here it is. The last two races. If I were to rate the races from easy to hardest, it would be:
6. Stage VI
5. Stage V
4. Stage I
3. Stage II
2. Stage III
1. Stage IV
To give a rough idea of how easy the Savo races in LA really are, the city is more open and easy to maneuver out of the three, unlike Paris, which has loads of steep hills, bumpy surfaces, tight streets, and alleyways. Heavy traffic is a major contributor to screwing you overall, but no other city than Paris would screw you harder (which is why it's my least liked map lol). I combined both videos together in this one to show these races took me very little to no attempts to finish with no practice other than normal playthroughs, which explains the ridiculous routes and unnecessary shortcuts I took in V and VI. I restarted once in Stage V, but I definitely could've kept going considering it was that easy. It was just a case of me being picky about how smoothly my run is going, despite not knowing future me is irritated by how these runs look now. lol Looking at the dates on these recordings, all 6 Stages took me 2 days to finish. Stage IV was the one that stumped me the most.
Lately, I've been thinking about doing another run of this, but not sure how long I'll stick to it before burning out again. I was also attempting this on the "howharditcanitbe9" difficulty after this run in 2021 as well. I did make it to Stage I again, but I never passed it, and I restarted for hours. I got super close one time, but made a slight mistake, failed, and never made it again. Meanwhile, when I wanted to attempt again, Steam was fucking itself up, crashing and slowing down for reasons unknown, so I reinstalled it to fix it, but it came at a cost of all my installed games along with my saves. So I stopped for a long while until 2023, when I was doing another Emu run, but on normal difficulty again to warm up after a year and a half of not challenging myself on the game. I made it to Paris and, yet again, got bored of it. Also, I have videos taking place after this footage of doing all the Arcade circuit races in Tokyo with only the Emu, fully accomplishing this as a 100% run, and I'm thinking of uploading all those as one big video even with the restarts as well as some leftover clips from me playing New Challenge, which I probably nearly lost my sanity with. So I might upload that at some point, too, and not take long with it. I still have a long project I've been working and sitting on for 4 years for my other channel, and I'm uploading these to keep the ball rolling. So yeah. Again, enjoy.

Stage II. Yes, this is the same race as that close finish clip I posted earlier. Now you can see everything that happened in that race, resulting in what was a suicide finish. Funny, I thought I lost this video, but it turns out that I couldn't copy the video file to another hard drive when I got a new one a while back. So I thought for a second I deleted it, but remembered I'm a hoarder, so th...

Stage IV. Iirc, this one took me a couple days to accomplish. I am almost convinced that you have to be lucky and persistent in order to beat this one, because going up those steep slopes... with heavy traffic, speedy super cars... and maniac drivers that have nothing to lose but their dignity of being the best... we all... get left... behind.

I feel encouraged to upload these now that I see somebody else is now doing the challenge lol. So I'm gonna start showing off my footage. Stage III in particular, I had problems with initially. One thing was that my burnouts were not making me fast. I went back to Dreemax's videos as a guide and saw his were making him fast. I thought about how old this game was and the effects framerate can ha...

This clip is going on 3 years old now which was initially uploaded on to my bird app account and am now deciding to upload it here. So enjoy it now, I guess. More clips on the way, too (maybe). Yes, you can beat the entire game with the Emu. Also I like St. Anger. Fuck you.

I don’t remember being able to drift like that in this game 🤔
0:01 - 0:14 Me on NFS drift challenge (GBA).
What controller are you using?
@@Kicker.E36 I used keyboard.
Dude I’m glad this game is still alive and well. This game is a true classic definitely load more MC2 content 🤙🏽
0:21 how tf did u get that instant boost?
I did a quick burnout.
love this game
Nailz is secretly the real world champ

St Anger round my neck. He never gets respect… 🎶
Ah Flash by Green Velvet, listened to it a lot of times on Rise FM in GTA Liberty City Stories.
@@briefinggaming4045 Good ear. That's exactly where I first heard that song. :)
My favorite cars game, so mythic, my little boy (5yo) love too, we just ride in Paris father and son it's so cool
I love that UA-cam has finally realized that I have never stopped playing and being interested in MCII. Among the best games of all time imo. Awesome that you beat Savo with Emu and crazy struggle in the end, haha!
I agree that it's one of the best games of all time. It never gets old for me, both gameplay and atmosphere wise. I've held this game so very close to me since childhood. And yeah, that finish was wicked. And I already miss doing this challenge for the first time. The closer I got to the end, the more determined I was at beating the game with the Emu. Appreciate the words, man! :)
@@al3xgaming505 Same man, this game is a part of my life, I do a 100% run at least once a year. Your video inspired me to challenge myself as well for the next run I do. Might try the Emu too since it can easily fishtail. About ten years ago I saw a video on YT where someone beat Savo using the Cocotte, which is absolutely insane. How did you pass Savo's first Paris race tho?
That video you saw who beat those races with the Cocotte was by a guy named Dreemax. The route he takes for the first Paris race has been a route I've been taking in every single one of my playthroughs (even the first time I beat this game on the PS2) What I also noticed is that higher framerate made my burnouts slower. So capping the framerate at 30 and also turning off V-sync for almost no delay certainly helps (if you have GeForce Control Panel, you can adjust those settings through there) After that, you just keep trying until you get it. It may take a while, but you'll eventually get it. Sometimes the AI (especially on the second Savo Paris race) has to mess up in a specific way, so certain races are a gamble. It's really cool to see you felt inspired by my video as Dreemax's videos are what inspired me to do it along with a speedrunner by the name of finalaeon9. I watched Dreemax since I was a kid thinking I wouldn't be able to pull something off like that, but since then, kid me is screaming in excitement. lol I wish you the best of luck on your run, man. :)
@@qinn1996 that reply didn't give out your @ but I'm gonna send this in case you didn't get the notification.
10. FUCKING. MILLISECONDS
Midnight club 2 best racing game
I agree EDIT: wholeheartedly agree
The first guy not making that jump was a blessing
and this is why i am concerned for other people's well being. It's already hard enough to do this with the saikou xs, the knight, the torque jx, but the EMU?! either you have too much time on your hands or you hate the dude that much. either way i could never, great job though!
@Datboi87658 Maybe a little bit of both lol And thanks. Also, if you're impressed by this, I recommend checking out Dreemax as he has beaten this with the Cocotte a long time ago. Still impresses me to this day. :)
that game was brutal
So I see you using speedrunning exploits n stuff, and still BARELY make it... how hard is this game?
@Hahnfruh Well, one thing to take note of is my mistakes. I made a few in this race which can be seen on the full version of this video which almost tremendously made me fall behind, and one that can be seen in this clip where I miscalculate my turn in that small tunnel. Another is the fact that I'm using an extremely slow car to challenge myself (The Emu, which is the 2nd car you unlock in the game). There is also the fact that this is around the time I really started to learn the fishtail technique (the speedrunning exploit) which was 3 years ago already, so I say I'm pretty alright, but not that good as I've seen people make less mistakes than me. But this game took me 10 years to finish when I first started playing this on the PS2 a long time ago (I played this since I was a kid lol), and even playing by normal means the game really is unforgiving with all the randomness it can throw in your face. So, in my opinion, this game does kind of hold its reputation of being the "Dark Souls" of racing games (Quake too if we throw the competitive online game types into the equation) The game starts out pretty easy at least, so there's that. But I can't imagine anybody being able to play this to the end for the very first time with little to no fails as you must know the layout of the map and races very well, growing familiar with the car or bike you're driving, and the overall randomness of the fast racer AI and traffic NPCs that can suddenly swerve into you on a freeway or t-bone you at an intersection. What's even more unforgiving (and this can apply to all Midnight Club games too as the AI never speeds up or slows down depending on your position in a race) is that the farther front a racer is in front of you, the fewer mistakes they will make since traffic AI will never spawn where they are and they can keep going as long nothing obstructs them, but even sometimes they recover quickly after hitting traffic, too. And lastly, changing the difficulty in this game requires you to enter a cheat code lol
Savo's sarcastic "Oh, I hope that works out for you" really sells it
EZ win

we need to bring back those kinds of physics in racing games

@@al3xgaming505 realism this, realism that, what about FUN?
@@luskinhasv3467 Yes, and style.
Early CGI style.
I've recently just started MC2, i always felt that the Emu looked cool but i immediately stopped using it after i got a cool red car from a South American dude
That's why they stopped making car games
ig earning the vehicles in Paris and Tokyo wasn't worth it after all haha :p
all i need is my shitbox :)
Fish tailing is the mechanic of all time
Veloci: i am the fastest car in MC2! Pretty sure no one can surpass my speed! Emu: LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT1!!1!1!1!1!1!
HA HA THE BEST FINISH
Acctually, the Torque JX is the fastest car, by looking at the stats in the career mode car select, you can see that its slightly faster
@@RSMC15 with fishtailing every car is the fastest car
@@qinn1996 Sadly I was never able to do that, I played on PS2 and all my controllers were slightly slow. Always thought it would be fun though.
@@RSMC15I found that there has been someone doing this challenge on PC using a controller this year and got very far with it without altering the difficulty. Another guy also did the 5th Savo race using a Cocotte on a PS2 emulator. Both those guys used manual transmission.
Not the restart at the beginning because the run was bad 😭
I've made too many stupid ass mistakes like that I could see it coming lmfaooo

@@al3xgaming505 thanks man
@@oo0PianoMan0oo no prob
Savo totally pissed tho
Now this is epic!!!
I love how everyone is going back and playing old racing games I literally have more fun playing midnight club 2, and 3 than playing forza horizon, the crew and even the new nfs games fucking suck compare to midnight club but thats just my opinion tho
I feel you, man. Those new racing games just don't hit the same. I never touched any new racing games. They all look like their sole purpose is to make money other than to just make a thrilling experience. Greed has killed passion.
RIP that Jetta
@@TACADD It's been through so much.
Despite being named Jetta at the game files, the model are too long, being more similar similar to the Passat.
I didn't know both "Jetta" and "Bora" versions existed.
@@leandro88888 Bora as the name of model on some countries.
@@Silva_GP Bora is very usual to see in Europe, Jetta is probably most seen in America.
ah, now do the Cocotte challenge that Dreemax did YEARS ago, I believe in you !!!!!
I watched that guy when I was a kid. He is still the best I have ever fucking seen. One day... maybe I will be worthy enough for the Cocotte...
The Emu challenge has paved the way for You my friend, someday I hope to see You attempt it :)
@@VelociJX I've got 3 more Savo race recordings and a bunch of all the Tokyo arcade races I'm waiting to upload. They'll prob be out soon. And lately I've been thinking of attempting this again and getting the whole thing on recording this time. :)

UA-cam turned this clip into a full ass video. Great job UA-cam, the title no longer makes any sense. Also, because of this, the video now has a copyright claim due to the music that played in this map. This part of the comment was also intended to be an edit, but UA-cam won't let me edit my comments on my old channel's videos... for... whatever reason... Thanks, UA-cam. That was very gay of you. 😀🔫 EDIT: Just found out I couldn't edit my comment only because I pinned it. Wow. That's very cool.
Goofy ahh moment 💀💀
Also not even an officially submitted speedrun. Idk why I even went and did this even though I wasn't gonna submit it. Plus I put music over it lol why
