Hanage Belmondo had beaten this run before him, so shoutouts to him as well! I plan to improve this as soon as I finish ActRaiser 2. So excited to have competition!
This run was done on a standard SNES console with a normal controller (no turbo). This is the Japanese version, but it plays identically to the US version. The only difference is the cutscene at the end of loop 1. This run was also done live if you want the original commentary/reactions with it (http://www.twitch.tv/pjdicesare/c/2918736).
This is my first completed speed run. This was my 3345th attempt at such a run. I am going to try to improve this by over a minute with the torch, but that will take a lot longer to accomplish because of how much luck is required with that weapon.
I could go on with comments for literally days, but I'll summarize a few points:
- This is played on Normal difficulty. There are very few differences between normal and professional (some enemies move faster, some environmental hazards are faster, etc). All of these strategies work on professional mode, including boss quick kills.
- I used the dagger in this run. The torch is faster overall, but requires incredibly good luck on every stage to survive. I chose to do a run with the dagger first so I had a solid baseline to compare against.
- My luck in this run is possibly the worst I have ever had or seen. There are a lot of things in this run that have only ever happened to me 2-3 times (despawning every bat in the third tower of stage 3, two consecutive surprise weapon drops, very rare enemy patterns, etc). Still, I handled this obstacles pretty cleanly which is why the time is still good.
- I lost my shield AND got hit in this run. In fact, I got hit twice.
I'll be trying to improve this run periodically. You can follow my progress at http://www.twitch.tv/pjdicesare
