Mirror's Edge Chapter 1 speedrun -
This is a kickglitch-less run done on PS3. Doing a kickglitch at the end saves 15-20 seconds. I might do a run with it some other day, but not now. 4:20 is a good time for a run without the glitch. Using it allows sub 4.
This is about 17 seconds faster than the Flight speedrun I currently have uploaded. I'll probably try to improve this run more. There may be a better run uploaded sometime soon.
There are a few obvious mistakes, these are all the most noticeable:
0:59 Landing on top of the railing would have been nice.
1:02 Getting a speedvault makes this route more worth it, but the wallrun there tends to end early and make that difficult.
1:09 I got the angle of the sidejump wrong. I was going for a vertical kick to skip the roll and got too much backwards momentum.
1:33 Sidejump into doorframe :(
2:16 Kickglitch here to save a couple seconds
2:22 Got caught on the vent
2:27 Very slow transition to stairs
2:41 Average run to door, could easily be faster
2:50 Could improve the speed here too, but this hallway is stupid
3:10 Bad idea to look down here. Looking down that far drastically reduces sensitivity and makes for a very awkward sidejump boost.
3:25 Bad jump down
3:29 Accidental slide, meant to coil
3:35 Pretty terrible bridge. I was having a lot of trouble aiming my jumps. You're supposed to wallboost the pillars.
4:25 Choosing to go left and kickglitch across the street saves somewhere around 15 seconds.
4:41 Should have done a sidejump boost, but narrow platforms make me nervous.
With a little luck, I could get under 4 minutes if I use kickglitches. I don't really like using them for online times, but I might end up trying it anyway.
