Something witty
So the first game I decided to speedrun, and what made me start thinking about joining the speedrun community, is Metal Slug X (obvious enough?).
I'm currently running Metal Slug X on the Anthology collection via emulator (I do have plans on getting a capture card and an actual copy soon, though), but I'm thinking the PS1 version might be faster due to reduced load times - that's assuming PS1 load times are quicker which I don't know if they are or aren't.
My PB so far is 25:08.3 which I obtained today actually and beat my previous record by 40 seconds. Oddly enough, whenever I beat my PBs, I seem to take off at least a minute: After an original time of 29:43, I broke that with a time of 26:48, which was then shaved off with a time of 26:45, but then I broke that too with a time of 25:48 which then led on to my current best of 25:08.
However, I do plan on scrapping my achieved times due to an inconsistent timing method I used where I would quickly hit the "next split" key after beating a boss and this worked up until the last boss where I would lose half a second from reacting to beating the boss and hitting the split key. Instead, the timing method I plan on using consists of me hitting the split key either right after the prisoner bonus score or more likely during the "Mission complete!" chant.
Once I get the new timing method setup and I feel comfortable using it, I'd like to get sub-25. In order to do that, though, I need to have a really good Mission 2, 5, and 6 especially. I also need to find out when the best times to die are to get my bombs back.
You might see me streaming my runs on my Twitch channel and I'll make an attempt to upload any good runs to YT.

Yes, I realize the link is like cosmospeedruns, but I didn't think of that when making the channel.
