@TucanSam I'm terrible at this game as well so, don't feel bad. If you actually want to run this game feel free to join our discord: [LINK REDACTED] Myself and Walter will be on all day Saturday, or at least for a few hours. Feel free to stop by.

The split idea was just a thought for optimization. I was just thinking that I would approach a run by working out each section and the best approach for speed running it.

I can see the lack of appeal for Boss rush, but I personally feel that the non boss levels are fun, and also hugely frustrating. I have been trying to optimize the last "world", the one before medulla, and it just feel absurdly difficult to do without getting knocked down. Maybe I'm just not approaching it right.

Also, Skype is too much of a drain on my computer. Would Discord work? If so, here use this link. It's a temporary link so, try and be fast. [LINK REDACTED]

Ps

I'm starting collage classes again this week so, I might not have much time for a recorded run. But, I have a 3 day weekend this Saturday through Monday, so maybe then.

Also, just a note: I plan on using either Cactus, Lemon, or Peanut for my runs, I'm leaning towards Cactus due to certain Boss strategies such as skipping a phase on embryo:

This only works with some of the Androids and only if a blue power up drops. Just thought I should let you know.

Sorry, I got busy for a few days and just now saw the new posts here. I like the sound of all of your ideas. Since the Androids are unlocked in story mode that makes sense to have them all unlocked prior to the run. I personally think that EX mods shouldn't be used, due to the fact that we don't know if the texture or humanoid ones alter hit boxes and/or collision detection. The "Rubber Music" should be fine though. How should the time splits be handled? Per "World" or whatever you call the area each boss controls?

Also, @walterx8 what's your thought on a boss rush speed run category?

Last thought, what about control scheme? I personally use keyboard and mouse, but I know game pads are supported.

In case either of you care, I'd be interested in running this game as long as someone else helps me mod the board for it. @walterx8 I currently don't have any runs recorded, yet. As for categories, I thought maybe campaign for every android? Starting after you can switch for Cactus of course. I have never done anything speed running related, but I adore this game and would love to find new ways to play it.
