everybody knows it's true
What ab00t Sparky?
No, kip is insane, therefore no-one can beat him. No-one can beat kip except an emu-rapist with a ROM. And that's not going to happen, right?

I've completed the game with a time lower than 1:15, and I've never cared about speedrunning. I just wanna learn to pull of some cool tricks when my friends are watching. I saw pirate109's run, and noticed where the items was, then I did the same thing myself, except for that I picked up the grapple beam in the first visit to Phazon mines. Then I used all the sexy tricks I use when I play any%.
Best any% time: 1:58, 48%, NTSC, normal difficulty.
Best 100% time: 3:28, NTSC, normal difficulty.
...
The any% isn't great, but it's not bad... anything sub-2:00 in Prime for any% implies that you've got at least moderate skills. The 100%, though...
. It was my first ever attempt at a speed run, in any game, and I was impatient and took WAY WAY WAY too many bad segments. I'm currently working on a 100% run with a goal of 2:30 or so. I've got a save in Central Dynamo, right after getting powerbombs, in about 0:49 or so, so I've got a good start on it.

Hard, any%, one day project, took maybe 3 hours to do, hence the awful ending time. Missed a missile pack too, so I went in with 35 at Prime. :) But that didn't affect my ending time by too much.
And btw, that's me, I'm usually ~10000% secksier, but it's weekend.

Hehe, I'll be buying a capture card and another memory card in a month or two.
Then I think I'll probably make a run or two. Maybe I'll give the PAL any% a shot.
I think a run will take more than a week to do though, mostly because I'm obsessed with good frigate escape times, and if I would do a proper run, I probably wouldn't be satisfied until I had broken the world record for escape times. Then I always want a good Chozo ghost fight after Flaahgra, so some times I beat Flaahgra 10 times in a row just to get a good Chozo Ghost fight. Well, I'm a bit of a perfectionist I guess.

did my first single-segment run in my life yesterday, just for fun:
single-segment 100%: 1:55 [recorded]
but it sucks,
i didn't think for speed, just doing it
there were a lot of mistakes but the greatest mistake was:
for a 100% run it generally sucks, because,
i forgot collecting an energy tank, i missed the energy tank in furnace (chozo ruins)
i noticed that when i was already at ship before ridley, and so i had to go back and colllect it, and then go back again to ship.
when i was at ship, keeping the pause menu, i was thinking a long time and i was about to quit the run, but then i decided to go on and to finish it.
so well, the time 1:55, i was surprized, because i expected something around 2:20, because i really sucked, so please don't think this is all i can do. i didn't go for speed. just finishing it.
because it's pretty hard to finish a single-seg run on ntsc version because of all this crashes in some places during the game, for example the crash-possibility in the tunnel in ruins just after "energy core" or the crash in elevator from tallon to ruins.
you must be very lucky, or else one of the crashes would ruin the run, and you would have to reset the cube.
but yeah, 1:55 surely sucks
i see 1:35-1:38 as a good time
but expect me to redo it the next days
well, hopefully the game's crashes won't annoy me and drive me insane, hehe
