I retimed the run to a 24:05.000. I'm not entirely sure if it's the real time, I'll let the mods verifying.
At 20:07 on the timer, sound is much louder than before. I had a few bugs regarding the game audio stopping working for a bit of time, sometimes with a lag spike, I don't know if other runners experienced that.
I played the updated version casually, but when I tried doing my first run, I realized they were crucial differences between runs on the board and my game. I guess they were all done on Legacy, so I switch to this version (I wonder if splitting Legacy and Updated version would be possible. I think both versions have their benefits).
Here is a list of obvious time saves:
-
I took the first weapon on Stage 2 by accident, making killing with the jeeps harder. Also the boss could have been much better.
-
I took 2 weapons I shouldn't have taken in 3-2, deleting some ammos for Spread shot. Also, I'm really bad at the boss fight of this stage for some reason.
-
For some reason, I screwed the 4th boss fast kill for the first time.
-
Had my first two deaths on 5-3, when trying to avoid picking a weapon (I really don't know how to avoid it to keep the Spread shot). This is where the run started to be a struggle (The boss was so slow, but at least I clutched it).
-
Another death on 6-3, so I was missing some grenades for the 6th boss.
-
Last stage is always a pain. I was able to keep Spread shot until 7-2, but I had a stupid death there. I'm lucky I got 2 fast cycles in a row. The two bosses were a bit slow though, because of this earlier death.
-
A lot of hesitations to clean overall. I guess that's gonna come naturally.
I'm not really happy about the run itself. I had a bunch of devastating mistakes, and I realized while running this game, Run and gun games might not be a speedrunning genre for me ^^' At least I have a run to submit. I'm looking for a deathless run at least, sub 20 would be awesome too (but it's an optional goal).
