New subject for me: Pure Speed

2004-03-05 11:41:47 pm

Seems like everyone is still having fun with 100% or low percent runs on normal/hard. I've already completed those challenges within a respectable amount of time from the record, so I felt like doing pure speed. And here's my result. I'm not sure if this is a WR or not, but it's easily beatable. Asides from the minor mistakes (e.g. missing jumps or whatnot -- I didn't tweak this run THAT much) what can be improved here?

I thought emulated runs where no longer allowed.

I wanna know what he means by "tweak." Is that the good "I tweaked my route and shaved off x seconds" or the bad "I save stated like a monkey on acid?"

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

You can still do emulated runs, but they won't be accepted for any records and won't be hosted by Nate or Radix (save for exceptional cases like Sess's technical demonstration, which won't be counting for records anyway).

I don't care if it goes on the site. It shouldn't, anyway; someone will beat it in a day, easy. By "tweak" I mean restarting and doing every segment over until it is perfect. I didn't do that. There's several small mistakes that could shave off 10-20 secs easy. I just wanted to demonstrate route/tricks and to see if I'm missing anything that could help.
