31% Normal in 2:40 (Segmented) (3:30:32 RTA) Segmented because I died on both Gandryda and Dark Samus (Forgot to heal post phaaze >_>) Taking this as a PB, just because it's hilarious. Hopefully the sub-2:40 will be soon, and Single Segment XD
31% Normal in 2:39 (Segmented due to death) (3:27:16 RTA). So Yeah, new PB in RTA and IGT, died on HSS in command courtyard because I didn't walk into the acid rain (which is ironic seeing how many times I die in the acid rain XD). Overall quality of the run was OK for the most part, most time to save is still in Mogenar/Gandryda and now entering mines due to that death. But hey, SUB-2:40!!!!!!!!!
31% Normal in 2:38 (Yay deathless). Pretty solid run overall, gandryda was amazing for a change, but I missed the 2-round AU and the 1-round omega first phase, so over a minute lost there. Definitely getting happier with my quality of play though. Need to grind out the gateway SSJ before more attempts I think XD

How much time does the spider ball SW save?
It saves around 5-6 minutes for skipping the detour to spider, but also another 2-3 from having to do nova beam wallcrawl. Good luck getting both of them consistent though O_o
Meh, i tried to run my game, didn't get it to work for like an hour, got so mad that i broke the disc in half, could probably have fixed it though, but i guess a good chance to get ntsc.

The detour to spider doesn't take that long, for in-game time at least. The first wallcrawl would take a chunk of time to do as well (compared to just spider balling up); including the nova beam route, it'd probably save like 5-6 minutes total
31% Normal in 2:37 (Segmented due to death). Died in Skyway access due to a pirate trolling me in command courtyard. Didn't manage my health well enough <_< Still a lot of time to be saved overall, although I got a good phaaze seedling for a change. Didn't attempt a couple of strats which overall saved me time not making mistakes, although there's some new strats I need to add into my runs for sure. 2:35 should be very soon, and hopefully doesn't follow the current pattern of odd times being segmented due to failing Hazard Shield skip XD
Yay for revenge runs 31% Normal in 2:37, Single segment :3 (3:24:23 RTA), It's got to be a pretty high 2:37. Honestly a much worse run overall. There's over a minute to save going to Bryyo fire due to messing around with the second SSJ in Grand Court, around 40 seconds from missing the long jump in Hangar Bay, and Gandryda was goddam disgusting XD Also, Ghor was bad, Defence drone was bad, bad RNG on Berserker lord (eh w/e), Missed a cycle on Nova Beam fight, Pirate commander warped a load, and Valhalla was sloppy as hell >_>. Phaaze and final bosses were good though for a change.
100% Normal in 3:41 (4:45:45 RTA) Pretty bad run but w/e. I'll come back to this and be more serious about it after ESA, but until then the any% grind is strong.
Died to gandryda for no good reason basically during a phase change cutscene so w/e. Basically threw a minute away on the way from spider to mines as well due to saltiness, and then golded phaaze by like 25 seconds which is just wtf. 3:21 is so super possible >_>
so yeah TWR I guess. Such a low 2:32 though D: Gandryda was still terrible lol, Lost time on mogenar due to trolling, ship grapple because I accidently shot the box in Chozo Observatory, and a couple of other places. I guess I might semi go for 2:31 next week, but I need to practice other games for ESA also XD
2:30 (31% Normal) 3:16:59.87 RTA lol that sub-3:17
Gandryda saved my run <3 Second half of elysia was pretty poor, but sub-1:09 bryyo also :O 2:29/2:28 should be pretty possible, and this is a low 2:30, so another PB and we'll see what happens.
2:29/2:28 should be pretty possible, and this is a low 2:30, so another PB and we'll see what happens.
I think 2:15 or under might be potential SS time with extremely skill and luck. SDA run is 2:09 segmented though. Let see will we make see day whene SS runs will beat current segmented run. Thats are happen MP 1 & 2. But its seems its long way yet reach under 2:09 without savepoints or dyings.
So I was bored, and made a terrible decision. Hypermode 37% in 3:40. Segmented, 4 deaths (Mogenar, Tower pre federation assault (idr room names atm), Omega Ridley, Dark Samus). Probably not going to do that again for a long time lol. RTA was 4:55:xx.
I'll be coming back to Any% for 2:29 soon, then putting a lot more time into 100%. Maybe I should invest in a SSD or something so I can actually use amarec to record lossless on my laptop. hmmmmm.
Quote from Paraxade:
Well hey technically segmented still loses like a second per save because you have to walk out of the ship and then back in on every save
And the segmented run is on NTSC so the time lost there is gained just from Beserker Lord 2 alone at least :P
