Cremator: Yes, and I got verifiers that quickly.
I hope your revision of the run isn't as disappointing as that reply you just made...
But seriously, though, I'm looking forward to seeing that run. Not every run gets verifiers in six hours.
Well, I got a 26:06 today; I died 3-4 times, though. Speaking of the timer, the PAL version timer is seriously glitchy, since you can get, for example, 0.3 second playthrough in Sheldon's stage, intro varies in a 40-second difference and Turtloid "can be done" in "1:10.xx", apparently. >> The final timer seems consistent, though. I hope so, at least... I didn't get any glitchy readings in this playthrough, anyway, so I'm pretty positive it's consistent. If it doesn't look good, it isn't good, anyway. Back to the point...
Once I dropped into the very first pit there is in Mijinion's stage, once I got owned by the damn bat in the second visit to Inami temple (although, on a site note, I found a more consistent strategy for it a day or so ago), I was once trashed about by Sigma mk. 2's spike that went upwards (the situation was most awkward anyway) and I maybe died somewhere else with insignificant time loss. Also, Gate dragged the fight on for at least a minute more than usual, I did a few practice swings in the last stage and I was a bit iffy on the first ascending with the spikes as I was hit unexpectedly by the first wolf on Gate Labs 1, for some examples of misperformance. I made an impressive run for the energy platform in Inami Temple's secondary area (maybe 0.1 seconds away from death) and completely owned the Dual Cells in four cycles. Technically, it's probably possible to get its health to two slashes away from death in two cycles, but that requires extreme luck. Sub-25 should be definitely doable, jugding from this.
Each mistake gets me more confidence in the long run, with each humiliating experience over the game I steadily crawl towards my final goal.
I'm thinking I might start the recording process before long. From what I've seen, though, the better it gets, the more eager Sigma & Sigma MK. 2 are to put out punishing and awkward situations... it might damage my sanity in the long run. Let's hope it won't come to that, alright? Right...
I have confimed that "dying" while entering the teleport in the Inami Temple does not substract your lives. In short, it's pointless, but pretty funny. Certainly unexpected behavior, anyway. I've had it happen a few times with Zero since the last note on that subject.
So Cauldrath, I realized a while ago that it is simply pointless to look if X can save that reploid, since if you did that, you wouldn't have Ensuizan for the revisit anyway, which is needed to pull off the invincibility trick. If you deem it too slow or unnecessary, though, then you might want to reconsider.
Other than that, I just wanted to ask if you've made any progress with the run. It'd be nice to see what kind of solution you have for the intro, at least... I'm taking the major damage where you're supposed to break the last brick, but mostly I find myself in a bit too great a condition. Ah well... it should be adjusted, I suppose, but the drills do most damage, and I've been skipping the ones before the last one.
