the lack of an update has been due to my being distracted/generally not really feeling like working on the run and the shortcut in Zipline Station Delta. :/
Save is 1:15. I managed to pull off logitech's Zipline Station Delta trick after practicing it tons, and there were a few mistakes but none of them really cost any time. This really only took like a day of me actually trying to do it, so yeah... I need to be more motivated. :(
Also FileFront apparently deleted all my files so all the FileFront links in the first post will be dead. If I can be given control of the first post then I can be updating it myself; otherwise a mod'll need to do it. :/
yeah, I think people are probably losing interest because I'm taking so damn long. :P I'm not sure how difficult the next few segments'll be, just thinking about them they don't seem very difficult... but I'll probably get stuck when I get to Gandrayda and, knowing me, take another break lasting a few months. <_<
at least here if you ever quit without finishing the run, someone could take over if you upload the save file somewhere. although it would be odd seeing a run labeled as "xxx done in xxx by player1 and player2".
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm certainly still interested. I've been trying to match up or at least come close to your run before I start my own but the Wii controls just feel so klutzy to me for speed running, which says that much more about how impressive it is that you make this look easy.
Also eagerly awaiting new segments. By the way, is your 10-death (or whatever your latest successful attempt was) low% Hyper SS run still uploaded somewhere? Surely I'm not the only one who'd like to see it.
Well, you beat Hyper low%, that's already quite impressive by itself, I'd say. If you still have it, you could just call it "route demonstration" or "low% walkthrough" if you're unsatisfied with it. It sounds like it's probably going to be a while until you retry, and I'm kind of dying to see how you even manage to speedrun low% Hyper SS. :)
I was originally going to speedrun a 100% run but I may hold off on that for several reasons. When I get the time to actually commit to a serious run, maybe I'll look into hyper low% again; it's my favorite way to play through this game.
I see sda now doesn't require a first and last name to submit runs. This was really the only reason my brother didn't want to submit his run there so now if someone wants to submit craztad's run there it will be ok. When me and craz did the run we really figured someone would beat it within a month or two but seeing as its been so darn long and paraxade still has like a year left to finish his run(i don't mean anything bad by that, it would take me even longer to get segments as fast as yours) we might as well get a time up on sda if it can even get through the verifiers. It has no sound in one segment if i remember correctly and im not sure most of the segments were even encoded correctly since my brother used his own program to encode most of them. So ya if anyone cares enough to submit, go right on ahead, all the comments and videos are on archive.org so there isn't much to it.
who knows, maybe getting a run up on sda will spark a few others to beat it.
god damn this segment was way more frustrating than you would have thought, this run is making me never want to touch this game again. Just glad that segment is finally done :/ Time is 1:21.
