I had just remember that a very long time ago I had done a speed run of the "Prime Time In Sunny City" Campaign. This had been before the game had even been released. Looking back, there where a couple tricks I pulled off that couldn't be pulled off today, however I still believe the time is beatable due to the plethora of mistakes I had made. For those of you wondering, here is a video of me pulling off a PTISC Run.

Also, for anyone wanting to compete, I made a Speedrun site. Currently I am still working on it. Looking to add "Operation Sunrise" Soon!

I almost beat this run, but I died on the final part unfortunately. You could improve the run by hopping on top of the elevator that Funnyman takes and basically skip that entire stage of the campaign.

Yeah the very top of it. I missed it this run. Also I messed up the run right before meat grinder and during meat grinder and also failed to get the grendade to register as a hit on the helicopter to skip the first wave. (Some tips for those of you who want to beat me )

I find Meatgrinder to be pretty easy, as long as you gather a few MP50s from the fight before and let Meatgrinder kill all the minions that spawn (they take two Meatgrinder runs to die, and give free weapons). All in all this is a very good time, but I think it might be beneficial to do another run entirely singleplayer instead of using bots for some bits (my quickest time for entirely singleplayer was ~16 minutes, but I didn't record it so don't treat it like a record, also on Normal difficulty).

Can you beat me?

The Funnyman fight was pretty good, but I made several mistakes so this can definitely be improved a lot. Here are some strategies which I came up with during the run (and also some which I copied from Rick and Pricey)

-Get the baseball bat in chapter 1, it deals more damage than the other 3 melee weapons (also has more range).
-Try to cluster the enemies to finish them off quickly using melee.
-Don't dive to run faster. It wastes too much stamina. Instead, sprint and jump whenever you can, it uses less stamina than running.
-Use the car lifts in chapter 2 to crush enemies quickly.
-Before you enter the portal to where Funnyman is inside the elevator, wait for your stamina to fill up a bit, it will save you a lot of time. Then, enter and quickly climb the ladder to try and get on top of the elevator, you'll skip the whole area.
-For the Funnyman fight, get rid of the 4 dancers quickly using a katana so they don't get in your way. Try to stay on the same level as Funnyman so you can use hipfire. Don't worry about dodging his bullets, keep shooting him with an automatic rifle, you can get health later. If the dancers get in your way, use the katana against Funnyman.
-As soon as the 2 snipers spawn in the tower on the final chapter, kill one for safety, or he might make you lose a lot of time or even kill you.
-Try to hit the helicopter twice in a single "wave" like Rick did in his video.

Well done!! Be sure to submit it here. what is crazy is that you had a ton of time save from mine and there is still a ton more time save you can do. For example, if you collect the grenades when escaping from the pit, and save them until the end part with the helicopter, you can try to use it to hit the helicopter and skip the first wave, then after that doing the double bazooka trick. That trick is unreliable though, as sometimes the grenade doesn’t register as a full hit, and it may take 3 more bazooka hits. In practice I was able to land 3 bazooka hits in one wave just out of pure luck aiming in the direction of the helicopter.
