I finally got a sub-23 in Armored Core Any%! This is a mostly pretty good run, some highlights include:
- a sub-40 second Raven Test which was very clean
- a very good Sledgehammer fight
- a bleh Floating Mines fight
- me losing track of my visual cues for the clip on the 2nd half of Floating Mines and still landing in the endzone?
The Armored Core Any% speedrun has no restrictions and so it's permissible to advance time by aborting most of the game's missions. 4 of a possible 37 missions are required (Raven Test, Destroy "Justice" or Mop Up Chrome Remnants, Mop Up Chrome Remnants II, and Destroy Floating Mines). Accordingly, only those four missions are done and every other mission is aborted. In two missions, hidden parts are picked up (one for cash and the other for the endgame build). Out of bounds clips are also abused in this speedrun in Mop Up Chrome Remnants II and Destroy Floating Mines. Destroy "Justice" is done by abusing the fact that grenade splash damage wraps through the coordinate system and destroys the cannon from the other side of space.
