6 done, 20 minutes at save point.
Another reason I'm preferring Tomba 2 for speedrunning is it shows seconds.
I improved even further on the Green pig, btw.

Quick question: Is Tombi 2 better than Tombi?

And, regarding the run, cool.

THE GAME!!

In my opinion, I prefer the original Tombi over the the second, but they both rock!!

The original is a better game, I think, but the second is better for running [despite the annoying dialogue scenes]

I really feel very dumb right now.
While practicing Segment 7 (same route as Youtube run) I had done the second half (beating Pink Pig) and saved, believing I had also gone outside and done that bit. I had a time of 21 minutes, then I started recording. I recorded a segment better than that practice (both halves) and got 22 minutes, believing I was just a few seconds off of that 21-minutes practice. I've been doing reattempt after reattempt to get 21 minutes, which isn't possible, seeing as the non-pig part is over 1 minute done perfectly. That said, I am now on to Segment 8, with a 1-minute up on the YT run. (this weekend will see more updates Wink

I want to be done before October!)

Going for perfection has many downfalls.

Yay, 1 minute cut off!

8 done, still at least 1 minute ahead. Lava caves + aspirin = still intolerable!

9 done, stillll only one minute ahead. I'm expecting 42:XX final time.

10 done and different. I am so very very dumb for my choice of segmenting in the YT run. I have no idea why I lumped learning to dive with the Red pig (the 2nd hardest pig) instead of the 2nd easiest pig (orange pig). This dumb error is fixed. Want to split up the pigs, but I can only do that if I save at the South Side of the Mansion. I fly to the 1,000 year old man's room instead of the south side, cause it saves time. No problem keeping them together, though, it's the easiest pig with a medium-difficulty pig. This way is still easier than YT's route.

11 done. Red Pig. 'Nuff said. I hate red. forever. go ahead, try to beat it fast. Your sanity will hate you.

TO DO:

12:dive for beads, get key, get pig bag, get Knowledge fruit/pig bag, give healing herbs/knowledge fruit, mushroom forest
13:get boat ride, seaweed, navy pig, get baron, go underground, use wire, learn of wire, get wire
14:yellow pig, blue pig, 5 friends
15: last friend, last pig

Is this thread gonna just become the Tombi thread for all runs?

I was thinking about that earlier, since I've already got my routes for the other 3 runs, I don't see much point other than to update my progress and times.

I'll start a new thread for Tomba! 2 when I'm ready to start practicing that, I've decided.

So how's the Tombi run going? I'm currently recording my Klonoa speedrun. Tongue

Sorry for the lack of updates I've been bust with illness, disease (read: Girlfriend), school trouble, and having new *cough* "additions" *cough* to my PSP. I should be more focused in the time ahead.

Almost end of October. Nearly done?

... OK, I'm kinda looking forward to this, and don't wanna miss important updates when I'm on holiday next week!

Why does it say CANCELLED then? Have I missed something?

Oh, whoops. I meant to say '13/15 segments', not 'CANCELED'. My bad Tongue

MTGjumper

2007-10-28 10:01:42 am

13/15 and CANCELLED are completely different words; it can't be a typo.

How on earth did you manage to put 'CANCELLED'?

It was a bit of a joke, bit of a sarcasm.
So was my explanation. :-/ Tongue

sorry,

I was just kidding when I said canceled, because I thought it was funny to give a scare around Halloween time. I will have this sent in hopefully by this Monday!

Well, I got Tombi 2 today. It's... different. I've only got to the place after Win's Windmill. I'll look for any glitches, but I doubt I'll find anything.

Any updates regarding sending in the run?
