Just to clarify: SDA-timing would be from when the first "I am Darkwing Duck" disappears, to the last shot hits Steelbeak, right?
That's how I've been timing it.

Ok, so I just got my first good (read "complete") run on the actual NES...
13:57
EDIT: Added link. The run is actually still quite bad. The only good part I guess is the last stage + I didn't mess up as badly as I usually do on Megavolt's stage. Also the Quaker Jack fight went better than usual.

Apparently the timer starts when you first gain control of the stage selection menu (which I find slightly weird, but sure). So my 13:46 is actually 13:53.
Anyways, I have some new strats for Quaker Jack, which seems to be a lot more stable and I can still save 10ish seconds on Megavolt, so I will probably start doing more runs again soon

We will see I need to practice it a lot more to be comfortable doing the really crazy jumps in an actual run. The room with the two sniper joe's and two canon guys is really a run killer.
Maybe when I get a run where there's nothing really to improve, other than Steelbeak's stage, I'll go completely balls out crazy.

Meet "Bengt" - Destroyer of runs
There are three ways to get past Bengt:
1. The normal way; Shot him and jump over him when he comes at you (very easy, very slow).
2. The YOLO; Jump, land on the ledge right infront of him, then jump over him, preferably without taking damage (very hard!).
3. The damage boost; Damage boost from his second bullet while facing left, then quickly jump up into him and then another quick jump to the right edge of the platform and then jump up and grab the hook. (slightly less very hard).
Good luck!

Ok, so the strangest series of events just occured..
Yesterday I got a 13:48 by the new timing rules (5 second improvement), but Twitch decided to not save broadcasts yesterday and I had no local recording so.. no video.
Then today I get home, sit down, do one run which I record this time (learned from yesterday) - get ~13:39! Turn my head and see that VirtualDub has crashed in the middle of the run. Didn't stream. Then bluescreen. Then bluescreen again. Very angry, decide to only stream and not record. Bluescreen. Switch USB-port for the Dazzle. Stream, get 13:41 first run.
The run was filled with small mistakes, because I was pretty tilted at this point
..but no major ones. I completely chickened out on Bengt however, because I only had 1 health.
EDIT: Ok, I rewatched it and found some pretty major ones -_-

What's the current SDA record for this game? Been looking into it for speedrunning purposes and wanting to find out what a good time would be and what some general strats would be. Been looking at Jokaah's videos for some tips, think I might try doing a run of the game until I can grind out a 13:30 if at all possible.

As far as I know, my 13:41 is the fastest and the second fastest is TheMexicanRunner who has a 14:48, last time I checked.
The run I submitted to SDA was 13:53.
Good luck!

Nice job TMR. I haven't watched the run and can't right now, because I'm at work.
My 13:41 has tons of holes in it, so I know this can be improved by at least 20 seconds, but I really don't feel like grinding it out at the moment. There are other games I want to play more, right now.
I hope TMR continues and wasn't just out to beat me
