Shit, I meant 10 minutes and 52 seconds, not 10 hours and 52 minutes. If possible, please change this in the acceptance process

Hey all, I'm back after such a long time. I make this post to ask the community and the moderators to change the rules of every category for this game.

A while ago, a patch was released for this game that fixed a few bugs. Among these bug fixes was the removal of weapon carry over. After you beat stage 8, before the update, you were able to use whatever weapon you used previously for the final 3 shooting stages. In the current update, all players are locked to the same weapon for these stages.

I ask for a new rule to be put into place that removes runs from the leaderboard that take advantage of this glitch; specifically, picking border reject allows some bosses past stage 8 to be killed very quickly. Or perhaps, instead of removing runs, make a new category for all of the "legacy" runs on the older version of this game?

Please let me know what you think, all. Cheers o7

I think they are talking about the graveyard skip, which was patched out in the 1.1.0 update. I also agree that adding separate categories for specific versions would be beneficial, as it would encourage different strategy development from the standard graveyard route.

Hello everyone. A few months ago I figured out a strat that can cut huge chunks off of singular boss world records. The strat involved picking Brisky Brumal and abusing his ability to stop time. Getting a sub10s time requires this strat and picking the spread shot weapon.

The way that the time abuse strat works is that you should always instantly use your level one defensive super to stop time. While time is stopped, continue to shoot at the boss. The bullets will deal more damage because they are clipped inside of the boss. This strat also works with the border reject and the standard lock buster, but it is not optimal.

At the beginning of the battle, position your foot on the edge of the third brick from the right. Aim upward and continuously shoot. Jump directly into the first stream of homing bullets, take the hit, and use your super. Reposition yourself and continue to shoot. The boss's first phase should be done.

The second phase is very easy. Stand in the same position as the first phase and use your super as you get it.

The third phase is completely RNG dependent. There are two things the boss can do between the transition between phase 2 and 3. The boss can do their slamming attack (which is a big time waster, I always reset when I get that attack). The preferred attack is the knife attack from the second phase. Ending the second phase just as the boss queues this knife attack will allow you to land enough hits to kill him. And, because you got hit in phase one, you won't have to do the encore phase, which saves you lots of time.

Please let me know if this strategy works. As of November 5th 2020, I have the world record on Giga Rook, but it is not the most optimal run. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day.
