Fucking Weeaboo
Seeing TSA's SF64 run was quite fun. But let's up the stakes some.
A "Red Line" run consists of getting on the hard route and staying on there the entire game. This is, of course, NOT the optimal route, but it's more challenging.
How to follow the route:
Corneria: Keep Falco alive, fly through all the arches in the water portion.
Sector Y: 100+ Kills
Aquas: Only one route.
Zoness: Shoot all the spotlights.
Sector Z: Shoot down all 6 missiles
Area 6: Only one route
I've done my v1 run, but I'm sure it can be improved. But the hardest parts? Aquas, Zoness, and Venom vs Star Wolf.
Aquas is hard with the funky finger configuration I have to have to do fast and keep myself alive. Imagine having to hit C-Left, B, A, Z, and the stick all at the same time. The right hand gets a bit cramped.
Zoness is hard to get a couple of the spolights. Keeping Katt and Falco alive is a MUST, as they'll take out a couple spotlights each.
Star Wolf battle is usually tricky but fortunately there's a cheat to it by hitting Start when they show up, which cuts the cutscene and allows you to sneak up behind them. I managed to take out Wolf before he got out of formation.
I also got a bit unlucky with Andross, as an asteroid came out of nowhere and smacked me into his mouth. Byebye wings/dual lasers. ;_; Flying w/o wings during the 2nd Andross battle and the escape sequence isn't easy.
Good points? Excellent Corneria, excellent on the 1st 2 robots at Sector Y (I took out the first one before Slippy was done analysing!).
Time: 46:30
Still plenty of room to improve, but this was just v1 after all.
