“It only skips the Romun Fleet and obtaining the medallion afterwards, so 10-15 minutes is my estimate. I think an optimized Steam run would probably still be faster than an optimized Japanese run using the skip. Not sure by how much, though.”
Ravi just got 1:34′ a few days ago without the skip, so if your estimate is correct the Japanese version is definitely faster. :p
Back on the turbo issue… Can we add back the rules we had? Ban on Steam and allowed on Japanese. In Ravi’s latest PB he says he makes use of turbo.
Edit: I’m just watching Ravi’s run… he found a new route in Ud-Meiyu’s level which seems slightly faster! :O He goes on the upper path to get the Capla, then falls into the hole directly from that platform from above instead of taking the lower path. // I’m testing it and it seems to only save like 2 seconds… I don’t know if it’s worth doing. You get 2 kills less so that’s less experience and Emel. // His Limewater Cave grind looks good as well but it’s made less good by the early Limewater Cave route… finding the perfect strategy there would require so much testing…
