Streets of Rage speedrun. Category: vc & emu (usa region), blaze and easy. Time 26.50,94 and in-game time 26.44,68 (-6,26 seconds due to Mr. X text duration).

It's possible to save 30-40 seconds just by correcting some mistakes. Further optimisations could save more, probably something like 15-30 seconds at most.

I have played much faster run than this and i do own video footage of that run, but unfortunately i screwed up with the timer at the end of the run, so i didn't want to submit the run due to that cosmetic error.
