NES Friday The 13th Speedrun (3 Minutes 28 Seconds)

Well this might be it. I really think I should take a break from this game. Valientlink's time is just too good. I don't think I can come much closer to it than this.

I'll gladly take second place to him for best Friday The 13th speedruns.

Some notes:
-Played on a FCEUX emulator
-No cheats were used
-A savestate was used
-Played at full speed

OK...so here's my problem...every time almost as soon as I start the game, Jason is attacking in a cabin, so it never plays out like this..anything I'm doing wrong???

If you want this pattern from Jason, then you will simply have to keep on resetting the game until you get it.

Unless you're using an emulator, there's nothing else you can do. I've seen it take anywhere from a few resets to more than 50.

I got fed up with the process and ended up using a save state to start from the map screen. When playing on the actual console, this isn't possible and you are forced to hit the reset button every single time. It's a pain.

@bubufubu well, I have it to the point where I start out playing from the correct cabin, as soon as I enter the woods to get the note from the cabin there, he's hitting a cabin. I mean, I've beaten the game, but it always happens in the cabins, and I can't get these crazy times you guys are getting, even with making all the right moves.

[bubufubu]

If you get the right pattern, then Jason's first attack will be on the children on the lake. He won't go into any cabins with counselors.

If you are going at about roughly the same speed as me in the video, then you shouldn't hear the alarm when you're in the woods. If you do, then just reset.

If you wish, I could more thoroughly explain all of this to you live on cast on JTV. Let me know.

@chuckelator Found my way around the scary part. Just played my own music. Just to find out that I suck at the game. I can't avoid even 1 of his attacks in the cabin fights and I can't beat his mother for the sweater. Sad I can't play this game ... was really looking forward to it.

[bubufubu]

The sweater does not stop Jason from attacking you. It's only use is to reduce the damage that you take.

Jason swam in Part 4, which was released in 1984. This game came out in 1989.

@wallace3542 HAHA...well, at the very least it cuts down on the damage you take, but it should very well stop Jason from attacking you...Kind of a strange dynamic in this game, along with the fact that Jason can swim...WTF!?!? I can't help it still, I love this game!!!

[chuckelator]

@CwalkDarkBoy That's how I felt when I picked this game back up a week or so ago...and I've now beaten it 4 times...I did just now without losing any children for the first time, and not using any vitamins!

I am into this game ATM but everytime I sit down and play it my first encounter with jason in a house scares the life out of me and I turn it off. LOL
