Wavedashing in just about every fighting game it's in (Tekken 6, Super smash bros melee, MVC3) is always faster then walking and is generally even faster then running at an opponent.

This was pretty much my first thought too LOL
"read title"
Zelda. Especially Ocarina of time.
Also, at least in early builds of the game (don't know if they patched it out), when walking in deep water (enough that it would slow you down) you can switch between your weapons constantly and you continue walking at the same pace, ignoring the usual slow slog through the water animation.The Wykydtron said:
Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Deadpool has the ability to teleport forward when double jump. I love that ability, it is like an addiction.
Most of any FPS before CoD: THE BUNNY HOP. Or repeated jumping. One of the reasons Counter-Strike 1.6 didn't catch on here too much is the fact that jumping slowed you down when you landed. This prevented bunnyhopping. For an illustration of how this is so much faster than walking, imagine the area around Dust outside the tunnels. There are two walkways between the ramp going down and into the Terrorist side of the map. With proper bunnyhopping, you can JUMP between these two walkways, allowing you to get into position that much faster.
Another one would be God of War. Roll, then cancel the animation by tapping square, then cancel the animation by rolling again. Loading screens in that game were cleverly hidden in the form of long corridors, and this is one of the ways to actually get that "LOADING" message in the bottom right of the screen outside of actually reloading from a file/checkpoint.

I remember the half-life mod Natural Selection had a funny way of moving faster. As a marine, walking in a straight line was the fastest, and simultaneously, slowest way to get around. Marines were handicapped with terrible walk speed and the aliens were quick on their feet.
At least until Marines zig-zaged down hallways.
if you pressed left, then right, then left, then right again as you walked, you would walk in a zig-zag and go faster. i didnt think it was true until i tried it and caught up to other marines running down hallways. also, if you ran forward, but were stepping left or right into a wall, you would go faster yet.
I was never sure if these were bugs left by the dev team, or 'features' discovered by the player base

Yep! Talon-trot everywhere!KeyMaster45 said:
Also in Zelda: Twilight Princess rolling was replaced by transforming into wolf form.
Zelda: Majoras Mask had the Bunny-hood hat which practically doubled movement speed/jump length.
Bunny-hopping in Half Life 2
In the KOTOR games I always put a point into Force Speed so I could run from place to place faster. I always activated that ability.
There's heaps...it makes games more accessible to speed-runners so they should keep doing it.
In Gears of War 3 there's the Retro Lancer, which has a Bayonet charge as a melee ability, and with that you can actually run at a decent clip. It's got the speed of a roadie run, but the deadliness of a knife through the gut! It's also hilarious to bump into a wall while doing it... repeatedly..
Not just in 3D Zelda but in Minish Cap there is rolling and, a rolling-stab attack that thrusts you across the screen provided there aren't any obstacles in your way. If there are any baddies though, they're basically done in by the attack.MajorTomServo said:
Love that jetpack!Calibanbutcher said:
I've never played 2 but rail grinding and, line grinding Infamous gave that game an automatic +5 to the fun factor. I don't know why it was so satisfying to me but...well it just was!lunavixen said:
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin' ...ShinyCharizard said:
Yeah, did the bunny style in Oblivion also... love the games!ShinyCharizard said:
Cheers for the reminder!
EDIT:
Sorry for not answering the topic, Jedi Academy, also bunny style, or otherwise known as Quake's strafe jumping only in third person.
The Witcher 2's ''KEEEP OOONNN ROLLIN'' method too, that game really needs a sprint function.
I've found in Just Cause 2, the only time I'm ever on the ground, it's to attack people or to pick up an object. All you have to do is grapple any surface, and then open a parachute mid way, and you can just fly over everything, pulling yourself along with the grappling hook to make yourself faster.
And it's awesome.
And it's awesome.
Quick, I must face away from all the monsters and slide backwards into them!! It's the only way I'll get to explore half of this place within the day!!piinyouri said:
There's been quite a few shooters where puling out your knife/axe will make you move a little faster, all the while making your character look like he's going to enjoy "stabby-stabby" time.
Oddly enough, in NS2, dropping the pistol will speed up a marine. I guess that thing is made of pure lead. It's a risky move though as you'll likely need it against a good alien team.
Yes, this gave a very clear avantange (even without any chaets/ scrolls/ ect)ShinyCharizard said:
same is for gta san andreas. not sure if you know, its not easy to notice, but if you sprint+jump you actually travel faster than just runing, and you can be out of stamina and that woudl still work. though its really tough to actualyl run out of stamine if you got stamina skill up.
another trick in SA i picked up when playing online is tapping spacebar. the first step of sprinting is faster than the rest, so if you continuosly tap it as fast as you can you will see a noticable difference in the speed you are runing. well that and a sore finger and broken keyboard. but hey i ran away from that cop after robing him of 3 millions. its definitely worth it.
I mean, yeah. Pretty much. I remember playing Dragon Age for the first time and instinctively tapping X just to try and make my guy do a little roly-poly.MajorTomServo said:
