He said it was his first speed run,so that would be kind of average. No offense though.
I know. I think it's pretty good for a first speed run. Maybe on his other runs, he was just enjoying the game and took hours to beat it, without noting any ways to make a faster run.
And even if you're following a very fast route, it takes practice to be able to move through it quickly. You need to remember the little stuff like locations of platforms and enemies. My ZM route didn't change much between my 1:30 and my 0:49, but I was better at executing it.
EDIT:Stupid simu-post, evilness at it's prime. EVIL I tell you and DOOM and errrr...... STUFF, no, wait, that's not scary,hmmm.. I know, TOOZIN, he might not approve of that though. Hmm..... PSUEDOHOBO
yeah, circa probably remembers the fusion board at gamefaqs. it never had the kind of culture the prime board did (or, at least, the sequence breaking topic), so it was pretty much a waste of time to be a legit runner there.
