Heres my dilemma: im aiming for a top time in each time attack and i know to do this i need to get on Valuses head by the end of the cutscene. but what i dont know is, where on his face am i supposed to grab? i cant get to his sigil in one jump, so i dont know where i should be ideally aiming to grab. is the ideal place his chest? the fur under his eye? his nose? im just not sure.

check this video out. im clearly doing 3 full stabs (even longer stabs than some of the other elite time attackers on this boss), yet im not killing in 3 full stabs. this is the closest ive gotten. is there some mechanic im missing? this is just a trial video.

Hey! im planning on speedrunning this game and getting really good times eventually. i just have a few questions. Which world record is harder, normal mode any% or hard mode any%? also, which boss is hardest to get an optimized time in normal mode? what about hard mode? lastly, why is there only one ps2 run on the leaderboards?
