A race for the marathon would be a bad idea. Just racing against ourselves wouldn't be bad.

So just a question of who Glumgod likes most.

I might be hated for this, but after a run today, I currently simutlaneously occupy the 2nd and 3rd spots on the Wii U leaderboards with times of 34:01 and a 34:05 respectively. I am proud to say that when I began speed running I never would've dreamed I would've even reached the top five, let alone the 3rd and 2nd places. My final task is to usurp( or at least try) Timber and claim my place at the top of the leaderboards. I feel like if everything falls into place and I don't make mistakes, I should be able to pass 33:47 and then some. However, that's easier said than done. One thing I still speculate is whether extreme registers times on the Wii U leaderboards? Can anybody explain why hard difficulty didn't register my time on my first run through, but easy did on my second run through? Otherwise I feel like I'm wasting my time doing runs on extreme if there is possibility that that difficulty is not registering.

@Satoryu: I"ve gotten pretty good on extreme and would be interested to race you for the marathon. What do I do to be a part of it?

It sometimes doesn't register my faster times as well, but I think the problem we found was skipping the final cutscene too quickly.

And I'll answer for him. It's too late to run at the marathon. Satoryu and I, and all the other runners of other games, signed up months ago for it. If you still want to race him, I'm sure he'd be game. If you do, let me know when and where. I wanna watch it. :3

A few more runs have gone down the drain. I had one 5s improvement on the way, but lost it by missing to jump up the beak of big Dracula.

I have started to go with Himalayas as first level, since it has the biggest risk of screwing me over, Mine Glitch is normally more consistent for me now, and only occasionally destroys a run. Moon Skip have started to be a pain in the ass also, so I do that level third. The rest can vary 2-5s each at most, but almost never make a run a failure.

As for the marathon, I really hope that the game is played during a good time of the day in Sweden, so I can watch and make donations during that run. I still think that Easy should be the difficulty in the Marathon, since that will show the quick reactions required for getting the "M"-invulnerability as well as not being screwed over by single mistakes at the same time of using more damage boosts. Btw, have anyone suggested making a race (2- or 3-way) for Bonus Stream?

@Guru: Nice progress. Just be aware that every second is even more of a struggle from now on, but the more rewarding feeling for each time you can shave one off, and the more irritating when losing one.

I'll start my second round of attempts soon, hope I can finally manage getting sub 37:40 (33:40 IGT).

I really HATE this game right now.

I made a really great run. At the start of Vesuvius, I was 17s ahead on my PB (where I lost 6s by dying just after he mid-way point). I made a small mistake at Dracula (-2s) - but guess what? For the 3rd time of the last four runs going this far - I get three bat patterns. So instead of being ~17s ahead, I ended up with 1s behind.

Mike said he wants an Extreme incentive, which Satoryu and I are offering. I too would prefer to run Easy since I'm more used to it. The only reason I'm learning a route for Extreme is the marathon itself, and it takes all the safety measures imaginable. If Satoryu is picked to run over me, I'd push for Extreme since he is far more experienced in it.

The game is scheduled to run at 4:45 AM the first 'morning' of the marathon (the 6th). I know Mauste is in perfect time slot to watch it, not sure about Sweden but I think it's close too.

And if Satoryu's game and even staying that long, I'll be up for a race. Again, with two runners almost the same, it's more about who's luckier. :3

@rTiimber: I feel your pain. The 34:05 time that I recently recorded could've featured three less fang bites had I jumped on it successfully and one fall when climbing up to get the number one dime. My 34:01 time featured six extra beagles on the plane segment. I speculate I would've gotten number one on that run had I gotten perfect plane luck. Does anybody know how many seconds are added for each additional fang bite and extra beagle?

Well, honestly - the Beagle Boys are early on in the game, and I accept a reset at this point any time. And my PB is also including four extra Beagle Boys. The run I had yesterday still had two extra. And also, I feel you can't really compare Extreme and Easy times, even if the leaderboards does it.

On Dracula, this pattern is pure bad luck, which destroys an entire run (18s is having a HUGE impact), in the last parts of the run. Sure, missing the fang jump is also bad, but is something that can be avoided by skill.

Edit: The Marathon run is scheduled 11:45 (AM) in my local time, which seems quite good. Expect donations at that time from my part.

Edit 2: Here's my run, that could've been the new #1:

Goody. I expect to hear your name during the run. :3
And still that run is nuts. I still don't have a sub 39, yet you have a sub 38. Tongue

I start to think my Wii U is haunted right now. Today I have gotten two good runs so far, one with 6s and one with 9s ahead of my PB up until Dracula. Both of them gave me the worst patten (3 bat batterns each) - meaning I rage quitted both times at that point.

It is supposed to be random, right? Not something to punish you for getting good times up until that point?

Edit: Btw, congrats Guru on your improved time, only 8s more to beat my time (which I hope to beat by 10-20s myself soon) Wink

@rTiimber: Thanks, and by the way my newest improved time is 33:50 which is three seconds off your time. Out of all the many runs I've completed, I've only gotten the one bat battern two or three times total( when my runs weren't the greatest anways). But wow, two consecutive three bat patterns! That has never happened to me in my whole ducktales remastered playing career. I swear though, today I was one missed ghost jump away from taking the number one spot( not to mention to missed jumps on Splinter, one unecessary cane wack in the moon and world and bad Yeti luck respectively). In any advent, what often kills me is my inconsistency with the third and fourth blocks on the mine glitch. I used to be more consistent with the third block, but falter now for some reason. In any case, good luck on bettering your time. You're peak is greater than mine. thumbsup

@Radman: Timber and I are still waiting for you to crack the top five on the leaderboards. I'd love you to join us as another rival. Tongue

@CapnDrake: Your PC times are awesome! I'd like to see you speed run on the Wii U to see where you you stand in our universe. Wink
