Well, just got a 1:04:30 Smiley

Had a couple really costly deaths, so sub 1:04 is definitely doable. My run up to Tule Tree was about as perfect I've ever done. I'll put up the highlight as soon as Twitch stops being dumb.

Congrats! If the game manages to not piss me off tonight I'm gonna spend some time trying to get a good run going haha.

I hear ya. I was starting to lose my cool towards the end of my run too. Dying to Flame Face (I've really gotta stop doing that) really threw me off.

Well I did a few runs tonight that were okay at starting, but my controller finally bit the dust, my right stick is all messed up so my character will just randomly roll. So it looks like I won't be able to run for about a week, I'm gonna get rusty haha.

Haven't seen that one before, another glitch to let them know about.

Where do you guys pick up stamina pieces? My routing is completely wrong.

1 from Santa Luchita. 2 from Temple of Rain. 1 right after X'Tabay fight. 2 from the shop.

1:03:12 with 3 deaths and a lot of mistakes WOW !

looks like a near perfect run will give us sup 1:02 !
i'm uploading the video now but it will take some time to go live , i have crappy upload speed , maybe 5 hours lol

Just did my 2nd playthrough and this game is pretty fun, so I might look for a speedrun.
So the part I have the most trouble with so far is the 2+3 white laser guys arena right before the end of the game. The rest seems to be pretty straightforward. Does anyone have a good strategy for that part?
Also one thing I found in the Deserto, during the chicken sawblade arena, you can stand behind the green guys and just let them jump. There's no time to be saved here but it makes it consistent at least.

Damn Khaled, sick run! There's a lot of cool stuff there that I've never though of before.

How the heck do you fall through platforms so quickly? You're not even touching them, you just drop right through them.

Okay, I have NEVER seen Flame Face troll so hard before. 4 invincibles in a row, and then teleporting upstairs 2 times in a row? Wow Tongue

khaled 13

2013-08-24 05:53:25 pm

press a + down just before you touch the platform , i think roll on the air may help doing it ? not sure
and yeah that flame face fight was BS lol , i have never seen it do like that before as well !

2013-08-24 06:04:44 pm

Alright, gonna do 1 or 2 no-reset runs using some of those new strats, and then gonna work on routing 100%.

Welp, had 2 runs on pace to, if not beat that time, then at least get close. But Grand Temple had something else to say about those. Both runs were only 1 death up to Grand Temple, and then ended terribly.

that sucks but yeah i lost so many good run on it , my 1:02:17 has a death that cost me 40+ sec , i really was on my way to get sub 1:02 but i fucking lost it just before final boss in the platforming area with all that red skeletons ><
i don't know if i'm gonna upload the run or just try again till i get a near perfect run

NiL8r

2013-08-25 11:07:44 am

Yep, that room killed me once too. Those white bones are so damn hard to see in that room.

I also died to that yellow skeleton after the giant stamina climb. It sends you ALL THE WAY BACK to the chicken room with all the red skeletons. Costs about a minute and ahalf to get back.

Man I'm gonna be so behind, won't be able to replace my controller for like another week. Good runs all around though.

Got a 1:02:38

I think this would have been a 1:01, but I just choked on Calaca. 1st phase I ran out of stamina, and 2nd phase I died to his first attack, and then got really really terrible luck with his attacks and the boulders.

2013-08-25 05:40:07 pm

Yeah I watched the run you posted, A lot of new tricks in the run, excited to give it a shot.

So... I just beat the game without getting Goat Climb or fighting Flame Face X_X

It was about 17 minutes slower, buuuut I spent a really long time learning how to get through a couple rooms, and I'm also pretty bad at the infinite wall jump. Screwing around some more after the run, I found some more consistent ways of getting through the two long climbs in Grand Temple.

I'm unsure if this will ultimately be faster or not, but it's still funny regardless. Anyway, here's my first run through, skip to about 40 minutes to get to the good stuff. Note there are a lot of deaths in one room and I spend a really long time in the final climb:

NiL8r

2013-08-26 07:07:22 pm

Doing some quick math, skipping Flame Face and Goat Climb saves somewhere between 5 and 6 minutes, but I'm not sure how much time you lose due to slower climbs. Will do some practice tomorrow and start doing more testing.

How the heck do you do the whole 'roll up the wall a bit'?
