For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So I was working on some Monk speedrun attempts, basically trying for a sub-15 and not having much luck... until this run. A 2-2 Obsidian Cutlass definitely helped... but interestingly, it was a 3-1 Glass Jaw that sped things up even more! ^^

Of course, the Glass Jaw's insta-death disadvantage makes it a pretty scary item to use... but fortunately, I'd already found a Potion in Zone 1... and later found a Frost Charm in Zone 4! ...and eventually ended up needing both. ^^;;

Anyway, long story short, I ended up with not just a Monk sub-15, but my second ever sub-14 (first since Amplified Early Access!) as well! =)

Here's the video... hope you enjoy!


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:06 1-1
0:11 Mb: Minotaur
0:11 1-2
0:35 Bomb Spell!
0:47 Potion!
0:54 Gray Direbat
1:03 1-3
1:08 Oh, an Urn! ...not enough bombs to open it, though, and recharging the bomb spell would definitely use up too much time on a speedrun. =p
1:10 Chainmail!
1:11 Wait a minute... is that a dragon?? Ummm, let's see...
1:18 Mb: Red Dragon
1:20 Thank you, Mister Dragon! =)
1:37 Fireball Spell, Titanium Rapier, & Ham! =)
1:44 Ow. Thinking too much about the skeleton's gold blocking the path to the exit, and accidentally dug a Lv2 wall. =p
1:49 Z1B: Deep Blues 1
2:13 Flawless! Reward: Shield Scroll (nt)

2:23 2-1
2:36 Mb: Banshee
2:53 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
3:07 2-2
3:14 You know... I should probably check to see if that shrine is really a mimic... ^^
3:19 ...it is! Oh, and might as well check out the shop too, while I'm here! ^^
3:25 Map!
3:29 Obsidian Cutlass!
3:43 Mb: Gray Minotaur
3:55 2-3
4:02 Mb: Green Banshee
4:12 Cursed Heart Container. Was hoping to find a shovel, but extra health is definitely welcome. ^_^
4:17 Z2B: King Conga 2
4:31 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

4:39 3-1
4:44 Ow (Boots of Pain). Whoops, not what I was expecting... and kind of useless with the Obsidian Cutlass. =p Let's try again!
4:49 Ballet Shoes... could be good with the obsidian weapon, but...
4:51 Boots of Strength! Sure, let's just go with these! They're not protective against floor hazards, but 2-damage min and 4-damage max will hopefully help with speed. ^_^
5:07 Carrot! Might as well regain some of the health I lost from the Boots of Pain... =p
5:11 Glass Jaw. Actually, on second thought... 4-damage min and 8-damage max sounds pretty good for speed. And the Potion will protect against the insta-death disadvantage, so... =)
5:21 Mb: Banshee
5:27 3-2
5:38 Mb: Blood Nightmare
6:00 3-3
6:18 Mb: Gray Direbat
6:41 Z3B: Fortissimole 3
6:53 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

7:00 4-1
7:40 Mb: The Mommy
7:54 4-2
7:56 Ow. Paying too much attention to the mini-map and not enough to the wall I was digging. =p
8:28 Mb: Red Dragon
8:38 Frost Charm! Nice! This'll keep the Glass Jaw alive for one extra hit. ^_^
8:54 4-3
9:54 Mb: Ogre
10:05 Z4B: Coral Riff 4
10:31 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

10:56 Mb: Red Dragon
11:35 5-2
12:08 Mb: Green Metrognome
12:13 Frost Charm shattered! Paying too much attention to the orc, and not enough to the mage. =/
12:16 ...and the orc is frozen on the stairs. =p
12:21 5-3
12:54 Glass Jaw shattered! Quaffed Potion! =/
12:59 Ow. =p
13:05 Ring of Regeneration
13:24 Mb: Earth Dragon
