Open to any suggestions and input on:

• Which characters are the best to use - excluding Chapter 6 and 7 of course...(but you may still discuss which character would be better to use on certain levels)
• Methods, strategies, and glitches for faster level completion.
• Faster times; if you find a video with a faster time than listed please help me update it at the link above

FlipTaco / ItsShinyTime's usage is even crazier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs0p-0r_rQ0

Added! Thanks for the help, let me know of any other suggestions you have!

[Sr. Domi]

You should write on the title of the post that its the best character for speed runs. Maybe I would make a post about the best character to beat a level without a death.

I've seen that, but that doesn't help me at all if it doesn't even get a good time. :/

[qZMp]

Done! That's also a great idea, seems like that would be a great addition to your:
"No-death achievements! Let's help each other to get them!"
I would definitely add it there.

True, but still hilarious and extremely creative as well haha.

Few comments:

- 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 are all in favor of Naija
- Cpt. Viridian can also be used efficiently at 1-5, 2-4, 2-4X, 2-5, 2-5X, 5-13 and 5-13X, just to name a few levels.
- Contrary to popular belief, Meat Boy can do 1-12 faster than the Kid. :)

Done! I completely agree with all of your suggestions, thanks.

[EmmaWatsonsBF]

This will be easier if you start by putting Naija next to every level and go from there.

[bullexcrements]

2-4x, 2-5x are also fast with viridian

EDIT: ah, somebody mentioned it already, ah shiat :P

LOL! Seems like a good idea, she's just too good.

Done! Completely forgot to add your video, you're amazing with him, keep them coming! I truly look forward to watching your videos, they're extremely helpful.

I feel special :3

I guess I'll run through the Forest and see if I can improve on any of my times. I actually never thought about using Flywrench on 1-1 before 


Edit: I need to recommend a few changes for the Forest:

1-8: Runman

1-9: Runman

1-11: Captain Viridian

Flip right at the start and aim for the cliff, near the top of the level. There is a small ledge just off-screen that you can use to flip back. It's about a second faster than Naija if you aim and time it right.

1-12: The Kid

Hop through the gap between the saw and the wall above the spawn, then walljump to Bandage Girl.
