Played on emulator (Kega Fusion v3.64).

Improves on my previous run by 8 seconds. (My previous run: https://youtu.be/O6fSJ-VAwaE)

I'm satisfied with this run. Just the right mix of decent execution and stupid luck. Might try to improve my non-shuriken time (currently 12m33)? It's basically the same thing.


WHEEL OF FIRE QUICK KILL (8:22)

This boss has a limited number of starting patterns. Use ninpo to get it to attack early, then you have a small chance (idk, maybe 10%-20%, not really sure) to have it conveniently stop in the right position. If you are so lucky, you still have to properly time your shots. Had to practice with save states to get the rhythm.


RUN NOTES

Round 1 - Clean. Could have been a tad faster. Lost ~1 second.
Round 2 - Clean. Missed ninpo glitch on Wall Monster. Lost ~5 seconds.
Round 3 - Missed some shurikens on a gunner in 3-1. Lost ~2 seconds.
Round 4 - Messed up the timing at the end of 4-2. Lost ~3 seconds. Perfect Wheel though. :D
Round 5 - Clean in Rooms 1,4,5. Rooms 2 & 3 were sloppy. Lost ~3 seconds before the Big Boss.
Final Boss - Lost ~3 seconds off my best. Completely random. Time can vary by about 10 seconds for no reason. GG.

Total Losses = ~18 seconds (off my best possible)
