Hit Deborah Cliff with your head.
Hey all. I made a post a little while back about Ristar on Steam and have been practicing off and on since.
Today, I managed to get my fastest 1-1! I nailed the first swing pole jump, got the quick kill on the snake, and an ideal pattern, and I also made the swing pole at the end at 100pts. (lowest possible while airborn I think) which is something I had been having trouble with.
In 1-2, nailed the pole swing again and got over the tree and the rest of the level was pretty solid in general.
In 1-3, I'm excited to say I -nearly- got the quick kill on the boss, another thing I've been struggling with/focusing on. I managed to climb the boss before the alien dude drops onto his back and then I hit him twice before I lost my timing with Ristar's grab animation on the last grab! So all in all, my fastest World 1 and fastest boss kill! Very exciting stuff.
I went on to try some of the swimming in 2-1 and 2-2 but that all still needs lots of practice.
For any Ristar runners, especially Breakdown since I'm studying your run, any tips on the pole swing in 1-2? I've so far only nailed it a couple times and it has otherwise been a consistent spot of bother for me. Thanks in advance for your input
