Enhance, Don't Rely! | AC Parkour Mod Used Right

I have recently come across some discussion on whether the Definitive Parkour Mod (by @henrypdt love you) makes classic parkour any faster. While this is an easy YES, I've seen people claim that no substantial time improvements are achievable without actively abusing several of the mod's features.

I'm here to prove this wrong on LONG COURSE 1, as I've seen it get used for this, though I don't think it's a great benchmark of mod performance for various reasons, the main one being that it's a boxed in, simple, checkpoint led environment - instead of a city, where the mod's ability to let you forge your path comes out on top. Still, with a decent bit of knowledge and skill, the mod is able to push finish times considerably.

Either way, let's get into this, and enjoy! :)

I can only imagine what AC would've been like if your videos were popular back then. You're really doing AC justice

[MagnumSpydyrIN]

It feels like a video essay is needed to discuss this important topic at length.
underrated soundtrack btw!

[Ropotopolous]

There is SO MUCH that goes into throughly explaining the proper use of these mods in a way that will actually get through to people and help them understand why grounding of these moves is so important.

It's an uphill battle, but you're fighting the good fight. The community is lucky to have people like you who care enough to send the message.

[kinography]

Really great run that proves your point very well. It’s not about being faster, it’s about having more granularity and freedom in the way you want to move, although obviously being faster is a consequence of these changes

[marooned_k]

Still insane that this guy just came up on the scene and completely engulfed the entire AC community what felt like overnight. Bro is EVERYWHERE now

[FushiV]

Maybe its time for me to come back to AC

[BRITISH.STRUMMER]

Pitch: Make a collective podcast and channel called the council of the brotherhood with Animus drifter, Leo K [Rogue] and Altair stealth and have drifter talk on Parkour, Altair Stealth talk about... stealth and Leo K talk about 'Rogue' playstyles

[sdaapoppin]

I can't do this mod justice like you can AD, I've tried it for a while and my god, there's so much more movesets and tweaks, it's like playing an entirely different game, I'll probably try the mod again after I fully mastered and understand the classic AC parkour and mechanics.

[Dastrid]

I know this really technical and analytical and stuff but all I got was that modded makes him a smooth criminal.

[sebasramosDJ]

I have always tried to keep it grounded, thanks to your tips

[icarusgaming]

In terms of this kind of "platforms in space" level design, I think treating the mod as a purely technical toolset is much more reasonable because of how divorced the courses are from the historical context of the Assassin fantasy. I could of course see concerns about applying lessons learned into city gameplay. That being said, you came up with some really creative optimizations here, even bypassing the need for ejects entirely without creating momentum out of thin air

[Stealthful_]

Great! I suppose it's time for me to go and practice.

[haolinhe]

Well, AC1 and AC2 is the starting point
AC3 add animation for moving upward and down
AC Unity, many climbing movements that used to be divided into two manual operations are automated and have corresponding animations
Just when I thought they would continue to make their animation system better... There comes the AC Origin and ect...
Huh...

[DarkClawss]

your cpu and gpu temps are way high! I subscribed man so that you get more support and earn some bucks.

[Broox]

2:21 could you have used a super hop here to jump on top of the platform, avoiding the upcoming wallrun? (Making the whole "mod being faster" debate pointless in my eyes, of course mods can be faster if all I want to do is change jump distance values to ridiculous degrees, pressing one button to avoid 3 canceld wallrun optimisations...)

[chaossv]

great video as always good explanation as someone who knows jackshit about ac1-rev parkour xD

[CloudieX]

My pc can handle even newer ac games but my accessories like mouse and keyboard are cheap and they prevent me from using this mod well (Can't press space+shift together) and many other keys 😢
Are there is a way i can change the keybinds for some keys?
Thank you for the amazing mod (probably the best mod for the old ac games)❤

[lamellarm]

Thanks for the showcase and in-depth explanation, I didn't catch your use of freeform until you mentioned it.

This mod is amazing even on a more casual level since you can just set the amount of granular control into only what you plan on using. Also I personally made the auto swing activate only on R1 so that I could complete some of the secret locations with vanilla inputs.

[idrinkdiesel]

My only criticism is maybe have the text during the side-by-side comparison. appear for longer, as they seem to pass by too quick alongside the other text that appears, looking at the controller inputs and what each ezio is doing at the same time

[the_proof_]

hey brother, ive been trying to use this mod, but my game keeps crashing when i use an input from the mod.how to fix this?
