Hello folks! :)
I never in a million years thought I would speedrun a game, but I picked up Batman recently, a childhood favourite with the sole intention of getting at least sub 30 (my first recorded attempt was a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes!) I shaved that down to 29 -> 25 -> 20 -> sub 20, to 18 -> 16 -> 15 -> 14 -> sub 13. I'm sitting at 12:59 now and want to keep improving. I still have lots to learn, and lots of polish is necessary, but I look forward to hitting that 10/11 minute mark!
Anyway, on one of my runs, this happened with Firebug. Has anyone ever seen this before?
Thanks! It's been fun to learn. Literally the first and only game I've ever played in a speed run context (so far). I would have been happy with sub 20, but now I'm fixated on that 10 minute mark. :')
And even weirder, if you notice in the video I don't actually hit him again upon dying. I change my weapon and jump over him without damaging him at all, which makes what happened make even less sense.
