Broke my GS:DD WR today. In game timer was 7:05, that's a 16 minute improvement over the previous WR. Sub-7 will happen eventually, could have happened today if I wasn't terrible at this game
Worried that the video for this hasn't turn up in my twitch archive though

I'm rerouting 358/2 so I don't require segmented luck for the first 119 days I've also been working behind the scenes in the KH community with the CoM/Re:CoM segmented routes so don't expect much from me until like July.
Oh and we've also joked about routing Re:Coded for the KH marathon that is being planned. (On the subject of marathons now would be an excellent time for someone with better knowledge to plug ESA / SGDQ)
It's hard to keep up Skeggaba, I do know Tyr has been beasting it up in Vice City with a current 1:38:xx WR and a very different route if I recall.
Cosmo has knocked down Wind Waker by a decent margin (Pretty sure he holds WR atm)
A Japanese player eclipsed Zewing's Yoshi Island 100% with a 2:39:xx time (Insanely fast). Zewing has been attacking Calebhart's Megaman x time of 36:42 RTA which has are the few streams that have me hooked lately.
As far as myself. I was able to get up to hell in 106% at a WR pace of 26:40 but my execution falls off a bit in light rapture. My kid levels are more inconsistent than I want. Fixing up dark cotton alley and light rapture are my focus at the moment while slowly adding in more difficult character swaps. (Flywrench in late dark salt factory, Naija in 5-5x + 5-6x, Runman in 5-3x etc).
Just a mini-update but for anything concrete you'll need to check out The Sunday Sequence Break.

Yeah, I can improve this by maybe a couple minutes, especially since the competition is getting closer (Fatzke has a 1:38:45, which is 10 seconds slower than my WR, and Adam has a 1:39:xx), but I don't really feel like playing VC lately :/
I might go for the San Andreas WR currently held by Joshimuz with a 6:38:xx. My PB is only 14 minutes slower with gigantic mistakes that cost me like 20 minutes. The game is so damn long though and a single mistake can cost easily 5 minutes. I'll be doing a run tomorrow (friday) starting at around 8pm CET, so come hang out if you guys are interested. www.twitch.tv/tyriounet

Im still kinda working on CoM and trying to break it like I originally set out to do, but thats been kinda put on hold with routing Dark Dawn with Plexa then routing 100% for it since I'm insane. Did a run yesterday of it and finished something around 12:36:35 but I'm bad and a dumbass and didnt save my splits I'll probably do another run soonish but it's such a draining run I need a couple days off. Hint the superbosses suck to do in that game
Hello everyone. For anyone who is interested in rpg runs, I am running Eternal Sonata on the xbox, and am currently around 11 minutes ahead of my old, unrecorded run that was the basis of my gamefaqs guide (3hours32min segmented).
Although there are no glitches or skips to be found in ES, getting optimal times in the various boss battles is relatively complex and requires some degree of execution as well as strategy. Also, there is so much RNG involved that segments are never perfect and if you want to grind on a certain segment for hours on end, you will be rewarded with a slightly faster time.
Shout out to AGDQ, to all ff9 runners and to Speed Demos Archive.
Probably bad to be hyping this when its in the farming section but Tackify has been doing a KH1 100% run for the past 12 hours and is still going - http://www.twitch.tv/tackify
edit - New WR - 17:14:43
Also if anyone is interested in KH running we have started creating a leader board for all the KH games and their runners (Still working on adding the thousand KH2 runners / categories ). Everyone in the KH community is awesome so you should check them out.
Sometimes I hate Golden Sun. I was doing some practice/route checking and encountered a problem with the encounters I was getting - the instructions in my notes wouldn't let me run. As there was a level up near by, I guessed that the level up was affecting the result of the RNG manipulation. 2 hours of testing later, turns out I just wrote the instructions in my notes down wrong asl;dkfjadlfkjadlfn

This oddly sounds like me yesterday. I got lost in Otka Island Cave because I'm a stubborn dumbass and wrote down the wrong route to get through the cave and refused to look up the correct way. Though I did find out theres a mithril silver and a weapon that may be useful. Ive been slowly tearing apart my notes and run for 100% and have been testing everything and rerouting most of the end game since the super bosses suck hard and my strategies suck. Also Plexa is way better at DD than me and I suck
Apparently he improved it by about 22ms, which actually doesn't matter because the way he starts timing his runs isn't very accurate. He also has a better computer than I do so he arguably has slightly less loading time than I do, so I would say that without loading times I still have the WR by a couple seconds. So .. who knows who actually has the WR now ? Ah well, I'll take it back anyway whenever I want to play Vice City again.
Still a great time, don't get me wrong. :D He deserves it too, seeing how much he's been playing lately.
