Sonic Adventure 2 - Pyramid Cave M1 / M4 speedrun in 1:25.45
14Finally managed to beat my M1 PB in one segment in M4. My goal since quite a while was to get a 1:25 Pyramid Cave, but I so far only achieved that in M1. Now I finally got a good enough non segmented run in M4!
I'm not gonna lie, getting this time was a lot more of a struggle than I'd like to admit, since in the heat of the grind, I tend to suddenly get really bad at strats that I should be nailing 100%. Namely, the 2nd door skip, in this case. So I lost the vast majority of my attempts to that clip and got incredibly frustrated at times, and at one point I even was more consistent at setupless snake skip without camera turn or at the 1st door clip (which is not in this run) than at the standard basic 2nd door skip.
The next step would be to implement the 1st doorskip, which, once I start attempting that, would probably do in M1 at first, so that I can use the checkpoint. But for now I'm satisfied with this. I did everything I wanted to do for now and nothing went notably wrong. I can do better, 1:24 in M4 would have been the best I can realistically get, but this is good enough for now, and considering how long this took me, I won't be too picky
Also you may have noticed that my video quality is better again. I have decided to use Fraps again for local video recording, with which i can get perfect quality uncompressed recordings. I was using OBS for a little while to record ILs, so that I could put my controller inputs on screen, but I wasn't satisfied with the video quality i'm able to get in OBS given my PCs processing power. So I won't be doing that anymore until I eventually get a computer upgrade at some point.
Wow, did anybody even read all of this?
