Xbox emulation is pretty terrible right now with the exception of a few games

Framerate difference for getting the gate skip I mean

Could be a framerate difference? Have you tried lowering the framerate on the PC version?

I (for some reason) actually do own this game on Gamecube, or used to at least. Now, if I did runs of this game I don't want play the GCN version, just cuz I'd be losing time to shit loads + I hate controller. Was wondering how one would go about obtaining the PC version to this game, or if its abandonware or something of that sort. Thanks!~

When you delete a category it doesn't delete all the runs within that category iirc, so the runs are still stored in the database somewhere. What happens when you click it just out of curiosity?

This run was pretty damn close to perfection. I'm so glad how far the community has come, over 10 minutes of timesave since my 1:44:49 which I thought was perfect at the time when I got it. I hope enough timesave is found for a feasibly sub 1:30 someday, but I highly doubt that will happen in a single segment run. Sub hour entering computer lab is crazy to think about. This will be the world record for a very long time.

GG :)

man.

Just because something isn't written down doesn't mean you should or should not do that said thing.

right click the level name -> open link in new tab or just press middle mouse button

this is assuming you are using: speedrun.com/runsawaitingverification

if you're using moderation hub you will need to click the view button first

Can you not lol

Bottom right, scroll down

No.

That's a pretty sick find, I hope this gets implemented into some runs.

I also found a skip in level 4 I'm pretty certain this is known about but I will post about it anyway incase it's not. Once you pick up the flower you can death warp back to the checkpoint to skip running through a few rooms, saves like 10 seconds.

A little off-topic but, may I suggest that the category be called Demo Any% or just Any%, in my opinion this sounds better than Demo%.

It would help to know what adblocker you are using first of all

#Strats

So far I think the best strat for completing levels quickly is to not stop and ideally jump over all the enemies, but running through them is also a good option. If you're about to die you can take an intentional death right next to a checkpoint which will give you full health back and spawn you right back where you are. Waiting for enemies to move out of your way takes too much time.

#Movement Tricks / Speedtech (Grounded)

Keyboard controls suck in this game and sometimes did not respond to my inputs, so I've done all this testing / runs on my Xbox One controller. I haven't played with keyboard much but playing with controller is definitely more fluid and allowed me to chain "slide flips" easier

The fastest form of movement is "slide flips", which is holding down the control stick while sliding and then jumping immediately after. I believe doing this multiple times in a row speeds up Belle, however I'll need to test more.

#Movement Tricks / Speedtech (Swimming)

Water sucks, your movement is very limited in water so your best bet is to avoid it at all costs.

Spamming the jump button to swim is NOT faster than tapping it in a rhythm. Hard to explain but basically don't spam it, instead try to tap a bit slower than spamming it.

You are able to do acrobat tricks while running at the bottom of water, but they feel more inconsistent. Not sure if that is true, don't think its worth

I don't know if this is a glitch but I was occasionally able to be knocked back by the bell thing when I threw it against walls. I could not make this consistent though. This would save a lot of time over standard swimming though.

#Glitches

You're able to softlock yourself in every cutscene that allows you to pause if you pause the first frame text appears on the screen. If you do this you gotta alt + F4, game gets hardlocked. Probably should let the developer(s) know about that one

Doesn't really matter if its training mode or not in my opinion, that's what 99% of people will play if this is added as a category anyways.

Hey. I went ahead and fixed that for you! I also left a note on your run if you wanted to take a look at that.

Your speedrun.com account needs to be 7 days old before you're allowed to edit a submission, it just won't give you the option too (idk why). Though, in the future its always better to edit your submission rather than submit a new one since it'll show up multiple times for us when we go to look the runs waiting for verification.

Mods have power to edit your submission as well, so if you aren't sure one of us will do it before its verified/rejected.

I am the best speedrunner of all time
