On PB pace on LoZ: LTTP any% (a category done in less than 3 minutes, so every little bit counts) when I lose over a second on the OoB split, saying goodbye to the PB. Might be hard to understand if you don't run LTTP, but that split is after all real influence stops and it's nothing but muscle memory. How that even happened, I'll never know.

Came close to actually getting a good time on my Shrek 2 Any% run and then one AI character screwed it up. And because of how the game is programming, the other AI characters followed them all the way down. Second to last chapter, screwed me over and I knew I wasn't going to get a good time then, so I just gave up.

In this topic: Shitter successfully baits and derails topic. Nicely done.

On topic: Was once on 36 pace in Sonic Adventure 2 after getting City Escape skip (dumb as hell, depends on X, Y and Z co-ordinates plus speed range, may as well be RNG with a short frame window), good RNG everywhere else, no real execution mistake.

Then controller decides to disconnect after another fantastic set of RNG. The game deals with controller disconnects by detecting a change in control scheme and asking whether you want to reboot now or later to save the new control scheme. Controller reconnected, and I accidentally selected Reboot Now before realizing what I was doing. I hadn't created a save file for that run.

Well, it was good while it lasted.

I think mine was when I had a -12 minute PB pace on Equinox (final level of 007: NightFire, and it was an awful PB). I stopped to brag in Discord about how I had got a gold everything and was about to PB by 12 minutes... And missed the final shot on the final boss. I should've still killed him anyway (since it's only a few seconds time loss) but I was so pissed I reset my console and couldn't get any decent runs going for the next month or so lol. gj me

Was on a new WR time for my game and well in Cadash when something drops it drops to the ground and you pick it up...The boss didn't drop the elixir... That is vital for my route...I was over 30 seconds ahead...never...managed...it...again...(so far)
