Buffy the Vampire Slayer Speedrunning Rant

North Carolina, USA

I've come a very long way with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My very first Speedrun of Buffy took me almost 4 hours, reason being at the time I haven't memorized everything about the game yet. I kept forgetting where to go and what to do to get through the game. Also I was just trying to get a game onto SRC. After I memorized the game, I got my time down to like the 2:45:00 mark, which is about the average Speedrun completion time I feel for someone who at least knows the casual route. Over time I kept discovering new strats that saves quite a bit of time and getting better with movement and optimization. About 4 months ago I discovered 6 skips which helped me get my time down to sub 2 hours, which was my main speedrunning goal at the time. At the beginning of 2021(1/10/2021) I have already completed my goal I set for the year, getting sub 1:50:00! My current World Record time for Any% is 1:45:53! I'm going to get this time even lower, I'll achieve Sub 1:40:00 soon, I'll get the time as low as I possibly can! I'll keep trying to find new strats maybe even new Skips. I'm very passionate about this game and I'll try my hardest to push it to it's limits! https://twitter.com/PatBarrett1996/status/1348872450772234240?s=19
