So I just finished my first run of ANB and I think I did really well!! I can't prove it really since I didn't record it (it was more a test run than anything to see what I can improve on), and my time was 2:38:25! It was a NG+, and the top run for Any% NG+ right now is around 2 hours 21 minutes.

I'm just excited about this since I've never actually tried to speedrun a game before! I didn't use any glitches either, I'm actually not sure if there any useful ones, and I did really bad at Convexity (worse than my casual playthrough, even!).

I died five times just trying to get to Cynder in Convexity, and then I died to her when she was on her orange health bar (respawn resets her to her "flying around breathing fire" mode, which cannot be skipped and lasts probably 30 seconds). THEN I took too long getting her down to red and she took off flying again. But I still think I did pretty well, considering!

Not really fishing for compliments or anything, I'm just really excited to think it's possible for me to speedrun this game!
