World of Goo 2 History WRs

特别感谢 @无色之绿233 的发现：这关的地形正好只构建到视野边界（需要按住 D 键防止视野回弹），所以在边界处可以抓住球，运到下方。

Special thanks to @无色之绿 for his finding that terrains in this level happen to be placed right on the boundary of the view (you need to hold D key to keep the camera), so you can grab balls and move them below.

I've had 5 seconds since the very end of august, but was so confident that I'd get immediately sniped if I posted it that I held back from uploading until I could get 4 seconds. This time I feel is pretty solid. 3s might be possible, but at this point I don't feel I can keep hiding my record here.

This record took the most grinding out of any record I've done in this game so far. It's not even close.

The latest in Carpal Tunnel Simulator technology. What a doozy this one is.

This is not TAS. I used a mouse to perform this feat in real time, hence why there are pauses in the gameplay as I give my hand moments to rest and get ready for the next frenzied attempt at thwacking the structure all the way to the top. Moving the mouse back and forth at around 7 Hz gets pretty exhausting and many attempts failed long before reaching the pipe simply because my hand screwed up the movement and started jiggling the mouse mostly in place. Over the last few days of serious attempts at grinding this level, I got 4 near-miss attempts before this record which reached the pipe: 1 on the first night (0 collected), 2 on the second night (0 collected for both), and 1 today (10 collected).

Is 0 moves possible? Well, even with this level of insane power thwacking I couldn't even get the structure to hover off the ground at all. All it would do at most is do a tiny little hop off the ground and immediately touch back down as if I wasn't even trying to lift it.

Oh and since you might have noticed: yes, I did switch to playing on a newer version just so I could disable drag panning for this record. The first near-miss attempt I did actually had drag panning enabled, but I determined that it was best for my success rate if I switched here since this level doesn't benefit from it at all. I'll probably go back to my day 1 copy again for other future records and full-game speedruns though.

在有一个小失误的情况下还能10s，我认为有人可以9s
I can still get 10s with a small mistake, so I think 9s is possible

I've been trying to claim the Stumbler 0 seconds record for some time, but today GMD DemonGamer beat me to it. So instead, I had to settle for an allegedly impossible record. This attempt already just barely squeaks under 2 seconds, so I do not consider further improvements to be even theoretically possible.

This run uses the double-fling glitch to make the goolf ball move way faster than normal, and also to redirect the ball down into the hole since any sufficiently fast initial launch won't be able to go in on time otherwise.

first 0 seconds record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never thought it would be possible!!!!!!!

可以15s，尤其是启用屏幕拖拽后，但我手疼。

15s is possible, especially when you enable screen draing, but my hands get tired.

应该是极限了，除非被证明无限，Jelly Side Up真的是太怪了，堪称WoG2未解之谜
Unless proven infinite, this should be the maximum number of balls. Jelly Side Up is so weird, it can be called the unsolved mystery of WoG2

[World of Goo 2] [WR] Jelly Side Up 87 Balls，理论应该是88球，但是不知道多出来的几个理论是什么
Description: The theory should be 88 balls, but I don't know the reason for the 'extra balls'
- comments from player

新发现：JellyEyes提前捣碎可以获得更多球。
New discovery: JellyEyes can get more balls by crushing them in advance
- comments from player

仍然是常规过法，但是发现了这么几个影响Jelly Side Up球数问题：
1.显而易见的：当液体数只有几滴的时候，如果不尽快送到支架上，会干掉的，要么囤一堆液体等单个液体从那个该死的齿轮上跑干净之后，再一起运过去，要么就尽快
2.仍然是显而易见的：该死的齿轮卡液体
3.不是那么显而易见的：Ivy支架会吞一些液体，很抽象，所以唤醒支架之后立刻断掉，不要久留
4.仍然延续SilverHowie的话：“最有随机性的一集，我们仍然不知道这关的球数上限是多少”

Set on 2nd September 2024, 18:42 UTC+10:00
My 2nd record taken by DemonGamer and I got it back too.
I think I can feel the ground shaking, because I think the competition in WoG2 between me and DemonGamer starts now.

Set 2nd September 2024, 18:22 UTC+10:00
DemonGamer is back and took 2 of my records, but I got them all back.
I know DemonGamer is much better than me and I shouldnt stand a chance in competition with him, but I want to at least try.

首先这关的气球是不能拆的，所以极限是 38+4+4+4=50 球。地板都不是全粘的，所以下面的 8 个水球都可以拆，然后上面不和气球连着也可以拆，气球连着的话就取不下来了。
主要问题一个是需要用章鱼刷时间虫，另一个是上面支架的水球其实是脑残球，要保证它被拆的时候要落在上面支架。
最恶心的人的地方就是那 6 个脑残球，首先断支架它们不能从上面支架掉下来，其次章鱼会隔空吸走脑残球把它变成水。
这关拆框架难度比看上去要大很多很多，不建议尝试。

Translate: You cant interact with ballons in this level so theoretical limit is 38+4+4+4=50. Ground is half sticky so all 8 balls can be detached and collected. 4/7 of upper strand are not connected to balloon and can be collected.
One problem is you need a squid to get time bugs so you can't directly kill it for the second one. Another problem is water goos on upper strand also cant be interacted and is really annoying.
The worst part is about the product goo. They fall off a broken strand are you have to redo. They also can be sucked into a squid and turn into water when they are too close EVEN IF they are not connected with strand (why these game features always do negative effects for my records).
Ball record is much more painful than it looks, good luck for trying.

Decided to set another WR "today" while preparing for all level speedrun.
Why "today"? For me, it's 2nd September, while for leaderboards it's still 1st of September.
Anyways, I removed the tie with ds273 in WRs currently holding leaderboards.
翻译：准备打全关速通的时候拿下的。我这儿已经2号了，榜单时间还是1号。反正我在世界纪录榜上超过了@ds273

至今为止打得最累的一集。留了两个没拆，因为拆了就没时间虫了，我的技术还没好到这种程度。如果拆出带有发射器的支架，我觉得56球还是很有希望的，虽然操作难度似乎很大。
Most exhausting level played so far. Two balls left to ensure timebugs. 56 balls is possible if you make a strand with launcher attached, although I think this is quite difficult.

No shot I keep this record for long, my skill set is not suited to defending this record. But at least I'll be recorded as having had a record here :)
翻译：应该没法保持很久，我的技术不行，保不住这个纪录。但至少我现在是有这个纪录的。

That wasn't very difficult, just did a bit of practice today and got the WR.
翻译：这个不太难，今天练了练就破了。

我不理解，我用速度拼死拼活进了 1:29，运气好的人慢慢悠悠就能 1:31。
I don't understand why I only got 1:29 with rather fast building while others get 1:31 with slow building and pure luck.

把能拆的全拆了，这也是经典的科研关。在“风车来了”这关，我发现如果球停在光滑地面上，同时还受到重力以外的力场作用，它的状态就会出错，不会被地面粘住。在“重力桥”这关，很多人都发现虽然初始支架是粘死在地上的，但是弹过去的支架可以畅通无阻，我瞬间就联想到了这个 bug。这关有大量光滑地面，而重力块又能提供类似力场的效果，显然具有触发此 bug 的可能。在实战时，我发现断出来的支架怎么也无法拆掉别的支架，连碰撞都没有，瞬时想到和这个 bug 有无关联。果然，如果新搭建一个没接触过光滑地面的球，它就能拆掉别的支架。凭借以上的理论指导，不难得到我在这关所使用的策略。

I've detached everything that can be detached. This is a classic research level. In the "Here Come the Windmills" level, I discovered that if the ball is on a smooth terrain and influenced by a force field other than gravity, its state can go wrong and it won't stick to the terrain. In the "Gravity Bridge" level, many people noticed that although the initial strands are stuck to the ground, the 2-ball strand thwacked to the right side can move freely. This immediately reminded me of this glitch. This level has a lot of smooth terrains, and the gravity block works like a force field, which clearly has the potential to trigger this glitch. In practice, I found that strands built by influenced balls couldn’t break other strands and didn't even collide, which made me wonder if it's related to this glitch. Indeed, if a new ball is built, which hasn't interacted with the smooth terrain, it can break other strands. With this theoretical guidance, it’s not difficult to understand the strategy I used for this level.

由于游戏给的船太慢了，所以开发了一种新的水空两栖常青藤船（
操作非常考验玩家的技术，需要连续不失误完成三次远距离连弹。


Translate: The boat given by the level is too slow, so I created an ivy boat that can fly in the sky.
You have to do three far ivy whacking without making mistake, this really tests player's skill.

Set on 31st August 2024, exact time is unknown
You can do 22 seconds with it. At first I wanted to say that I will eat my computer if some random asian finishes this level in 22 seconds, but after this run I say 22 seconds on this level are indeed possible and I won't eat my computer or reckonator if someone actually will do it.

Improvement of 2 seconds over the previous record by dengshouhao (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1SoYve4Eam) The main annoyances for me in grinding this level are that the balloons get in the way, and when you go to reset after messing up the thwacking it's really easy to accidentally click the sign... and then you have to spam click through all the text that you've already read several times now... and it never lets you skip because it only lets you do that if you've already read it previously on the **current** attempt at the level.

As far as the run itself, I just copied what the previous record did. Typical thwacking-centric level where I can just grind until I get the one where I don't accidentally miss and pan the camera or something.

和 10s 一样的方法，要让支架尽快往上掉，激进一点可以 6s 说不定可以 5s。

Translate: Same strat as 10s. Make strand fall up quickly. If playing wildly 6s or even 5s is possible.

Just hopped on WoG2 before sleep for fun, made some attempts on Sloppy Walker, got 29 seconds without video and it took me just 2 minutes to redo with video. It felt like a dream, but in reality. Literally perfect scenario.
And, of course, I tried to break the former WR on Sloppy Walker before, but I always ended up tiing it.
翻译：睡前小打一手WOG2，在拖泥带水这关试了几次就拿到了29秒，但没视频；我只用了两分钟就又打了出来并且有了视频。就像做梦一样，但确实破纪录了，太美妙了。以及，之前我就试过打破这关纪录，但每次最后都只能跟DA打平。
