MaG48HMML - Short Base Normal Speedrun 54.549
2Sorry for the lag in this video. The Astro Wall causes my game to lag to hell. It also appears in Robot Recycling Center and it lags a ton there too. One day, I'll have a computer powerful enough to take this kind of stuff.
There's not much to say about this stage. Use Tengu Blade as much as possible, melt Trucker Joe with Concrete Shot, use Homing Sniper on Ballade. There's a lot of points where using Tengu Blade as soon as you land on a platform will make it so that your slide ends inside an enemy and you'll take knockback. To get around that, I switch off of Tengu Blade so that I can instead Blast Wind the enemy, then I continue using Tengu Blade. I find this works decently well.
The only other interesting point is the Astro Wall. It drops a random enemy down at a random time. I think the level creator can choose what enemies it drops. I've only seen Mechakkeros, Yanbows, and Mets from this Astro Wall. Good RNG is if it drops either a Yanbow or a late Mechakkero like in this run. Bad RNG is if it drops a Met or early Mechakkero, both of which will get in the way of you jumping over the pit and end the run.
This run beats the previous normal record, Kebappa's 56.670, an improvement of 127 frames (or 2.116 seconds). I'm not sure where you can improve. Probably just better slide chains, right? Maybe faster Trucker Joe?
