A game like this screams out for glitch-less runs. Respect to those that found and pushed the glitches, but visually and in the spirit of the game; glitch-less 100%
And yet we never really got a mirrors edge 2 in the sense that what was needed. The actual one they did produce was way too big and empty and not structured enough… they should make it fresh. Fans want original mirrors edge on steroids, not assassin creed
@@SpaceCattttt The category glitchless allows for some glitches, like for example kicking mid air to cancel your hurt animation so you can run without needing to roll or wait half a second after landing. Or for example when you enter the stormdrains in Jackknife and stand on the edge of the lowering platform, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intended way of playing the game. Those glitches are allowed by the speedrun.com rules tho.
@@ZeeZeeGaming I'd say they're a pretty dangerous grey area in general. A glitch could be considered anything that isn't meant to happen or wasn't planned by the developers. Like, unless it was acknowledged as a strategy in-game/by text, then I doubt developers planned on that ability.
Glad to see that still some people coming over here to watch this legendary run of on of the hardest games to speedrun ever and one of the best games ever made in my eyes. Love to all the runners.
I had no idea that you could get ahead of Jacknife. It’s also hilarious to see that the dev team never considered that skillful players could beat him.
I know this comment is three years old and I apologise. I'm a big fan of the game and at one point experimented to see if I could ever beat him. The dev team did consider this! Whenever he's out of sight for a moment he'll teleport forward a little bit (if you're too close) so you can't catch up early. This person has fully broken the game by using the wall kick speed boosts lmao.
Hey people, i guess speedrunners are more able to decide the rules than viewers. Damage canceling and that "max speed" technique aren't real glitches, but kick glitch, "button glitch" and all OOB are. Go create a "true Glitchless" category if you want, nobody will blame you ; but can't you just appreciate the amount of hours and skill that have been put on to make this video ? GG Req, I hope someday each speedrun video won't be a debate on glitches.
Isenlyn Oh, didn't know that, thanks ! I assume it is boring af yeah haha ! But I don't get why people keep hating on runs like this one if there's a true glitchless category, i mean watch what you want tout watch...
Gotta love 2:41 specially. SWAT squad commander going in like: -Alright, guys! We gotta catch that g-whatTheHellIsSheRunningTowardsUs!!!? 😲 -Sir, she just ran _past_ us. 😐 -F$&k this job! 😡
Mad respect for the skills in the elevator vents on the last level. Miller literally just finished his dialogue and Faith was outside. The speed is insane, well done 👌
Yo doctors watching this video, how soon into this vigorous parkour video would faith have actually died if she was an average athlete due to exhaustion?
you are one of the few youtubers that still play this game i really worry about this franchise no one ever talks about it on youtube and there no talks about a new mirrors edge game i hope the franchise isnt dead
Aphix_ well theres still no talks about a sequel after that garbage reboot and by the way you know almost none of the original developers worked on the reboot that explain the art style changes
Gosh this brings back memories. Used to love this game so much. Was my first 360 ever and played this like crazy back in the day. Used to hold couple of world records on the offical games leaderboards in in-game close to launch on few chapters. But they got fairly quickly broken 😕 But running the whole game this flawlessly is impressive. So many little things could go wrong in a full playthrough. Only thing I'm surprised is this guy doesn't use the punching trick when crouching in the vents... I wonder is that considered glitch 🤔 Makes crawling thourgh vent maybe twice as fast.
4:53 Faith is being *shot at* as she runs by. Every single person walking on that same walkway with bullets flying past their head "Ah yes, what wonderful day."
Req actually skipped a pretty big chunk of that level right before that part. It's intended for you to wallrun to the other side of the building and go back in just before that, but using game mechanics they got down to street level without dying, which is impressive. Those NPCs are gone by the time you run through there if you go back into the building.
Saw this game first time today. Put on the music (Still alive, Still alive (instrumental)), heaphones on, tune up and enjoy. Cool thing, like anti gravity and wheightless running. Seems to have a special character that game. Happy I found it, might try it out. Thanks!
This is such a beautiful run. IMO Mirror's Edge is the ULTIMATE Speedrun game. This is one of my favorite games of all time, I don't know that I'd ever have the patience to learn to speedrun it though. how long had you been speedrunning this game before you hit this time?
This is the first speedrun I've watched for this game... if I had a dollar for every time I *WTF*d @ every "skip"/shortcut I never knew was possible...
that, as many others in the game, is a scripted AI movement. squads in this game can take seconds before they go from "enter the stage" state to the "detect faith" state. it all depends on how fast you manage to reach their spawn location. here's an example from my semi-expert casual run ua-cam.com/video/UVy9iretVEU/v-deo.html
@@NutmegBGB TAS means tool-assisted speedrun. Basically you program inputs and have some software execute them for you in order to create a theoretically perfect run. This is considered cheating if you use it in a run, then submit that to a leaderboard, but it is a legitimate way to see how fast a game could theoretically be played, develop new strats, etc, and is commonly used. Also, sometimes TAS runs are significantly faster, because there are some tricks which a human either cant execute, or, while theoretically possible for a human to execute, are so precise to execute that its not normally done.
Well to me I was a perfect glitchless run, because I can do 97% of it just by watching this and knowing the function of each key in the game, without knowing any additional knowledge that's only known by the speed runners. Admire it.
Just another note, developers just make the game playable, speed runners make the game legendary. /Some still looks magical to me though, like jumping on bar at 0:34, should be Shift to drop and followed by a jump? the impact cancelling at 2:11, seems to be the games design that sideway damages are ignored, and sometimes that jumping in a long ground running doesn't reduce speed. Those may be against real world physic, but definitely not against this game. /Damn, sometimes I just had the feel that I can really do some of those moves in the real world..
Can someone explain how to skip the dialogue in the elevator at 41:33? I tried to do this but the button still appears when she is almost done talking like usual.
Wait until the livesplit timer pauses to load, then hit reaction time. Pause and unpause until the dialogue begins and it should cut it short. (If you don't have livesplit, just count 8 seconds from when the door closes).
i dont under stand can someone explain how he was landing and not taking hard landings in the jacknife chase specifically at that part where he jumps off the buildng you first zipline too ill find a annotation
@@TwonklerBlue I landed on the box, which is higher than the rooftop it sits on. If I landed on the roof, that would be enough fall height to cause a heavy landing.

That's motivation

always loved that guy in chapter one "DO NOT RUN" like your going to stand there and get shot
I love how the jacknife chase was so glitchy cause the devs probably didn't think people would go that fast
To be fair, this run pushes the limits of glitchless by abusing some animation cancels. I think.
A speedrun by Req in high quality PogChamp
“We get it, you vape bro” feels like the only thing to say to this guys insane movement

signs your someone you know is a speed runner:
they suddenly get super fast and/or walk through solid walls
Now *THIS* is hardcore parkour
the only game where speedrunning means playing the game as intended
I guess you can say this is "Glitch-Less"
