Hello, I'm new to the community, so if I'm doing things wrong, just tell me. So, as I said I'm new to speedrunning, and as I searched for a game to speedrun (one I acquire and not too long to finish) I found my GBA cartridge of this game. After some quick search on this site, I was surprised no one actually run this game (even if it's clearly not a masterpiece). Therefore, I decided it would be my 1st speedrun game.

Thanks to some guides on the site and a bit of work, I managed to get the game on emulator (Virtual Boy Advance) and livesplit configured. For the moment, I prefer to play on emulator since I don't have way to record the game on my Nintendo DS easily, and it will be easier to practice with savestates. However, I'm playing with a Xbox controller to prevent some left+right inputs. I think I've talked enough about the setup, let's talk about the game itself:

The game isn't very long to finish ~47 min to finish at my 4-6 try (don't remember exactly). I haven't done any routing yet, so I kinda get lost sometimes. I wanted to do a record to manage to get a good route, but I totally forgot (woops). However there is some good strats to use, notably against the bosses, and a lot of time can be saved. However, I don't know if it's the place to list them, but I will: 1- Since NightCrawler goes faster and can tp through walls, it will be the best character to play (aside bosses) 2- Some easy strats against bosses involve Colossus and it's aoe attack (A+B) including the Juggernaut, X-23, and Stryker. 3- In the level where you're asked to break walls, you can just to the floor underneath and finish the level without seeing any enemy 4- The last level can be skipped to get directly to the last boss by using NightCrawler (it's a bit hard, but easy to train)

Well, until then, that's all I managed to do, I think I will try to make a decent route before submitting here, and since I haven't recorded anything yet, it might take a bit of time (but I have a lot of time to spend it on, no worries)

Thanks for reading this, even if there's not much yet, I'll try my best Have a nice day!

P.S.: I'm French and English isn't my 1st language, sorry if it's terrible to read.
