I got another RKSF speed run, but this time, it's a completely different category. On this video, I run through the game as the second playable character, Pamela Arwig. Hence, the game's title changes according to her weapon's name, "RosenkreuzStilette Weißsilber."

So, I'm pretty sure I know what you are thinking: "It's just the same game, but with different character. There isn't anything different about it." And I'll say that, "you're very much wrong." This speed run is a completely different beast mostly due to working with a very different style of play compared to the "classic-oriented" style of play you've seen with Freudia. If you're familar with RKS in general, then you know that the second character usually plays like Zero from the Megaman Zero series. So you get dashing, wall climbing, triple slashing and charge slashes; Pamela also gains a projectile attack once the final slash of the triple slash is performed. This makes moving through the game more dynamic than Freudia and changes the overall strategies for every stage and boss significantly.

To add further changes in running the game, keep in mind that you're only equipped with your sword and nothing else. You get no other extra attacks from defeating bosses. Thus, you need to know how to properly wield your blade throughout the entire game. Also, she takes double damage from every enemy she comes into contact with. This means that knowing when to take damage for boosting through enemies needs to be considered.

With all that said, for the run itself, in a general scale, it's a fairly decent run, and its deathless. HOWEVER... there are clearly lots of areas that need to be improved upon. There were a lot of general movement errors and some boss fights were really sloppy (notable fights: Eifer and Iris Machine 2). Despite that, I'm still pleased with this run as I started learning this about a few weeks ago, so I can live with the current results.

I hope to improve upon this run because this is clearly not my limit. In the meanwhile, though, until that time of improvement comes, I'm just going to post this up as a personal starting point for this run category. Also, for those that are curious what is the fastest known run: the current known fastest time is 33:38.58 by Sairaan. I'm currently 1:11.14 behind and hold the fourth known fastest time as of this run. Just some stats to go out on. Anyway, enjoy the video.
