[Jintek]

Behold!  The first level I beat 73L on using Runman.  Talk about a spawn brute force, this run was pretty much 50% patience and 50% practice and muscle memory.  Landing on that pixel spot with Runman was a real headache, I went from 1.97 to 1.71 to 1.53 to 1.41.  So yeah, new Runman WR!

Edit:  On my map screen this score shows up as 1.42, so I have no idea why it shows as 1.41 on the LB...

[Takuji]

Took me 1 minute to get 1.43 so I guess I have to try again xD

[73L]

Sorry Jintek, I may have almost perfected it.

I just achieved 1.34, the second dash was started before I even landed.

Damn you!

Good job though, it never even crossed my mind to start the dash before landing.  Guess I need to get a bit more used to Runman and his potential.

[Jintek]

Just a few of my notable optimizations today.  Been a while since I fired up the Steam version.



Figured I'd jump into this one, this was roughly my 2nd completion using this path.  Still have to improve it some.



Beat Exo here, fun level, have no idea how IANOU does this.  But that's the new time I'm aiming for.



New king of Hush, really like the fast dexterity back and forths of this route.



73L, that's for you!  Only was able to do this route twice (7.64 and 7.61) and I still can't beat your score.  So enjoy that WR, never again will I do this.  Took me about 2 hours off and on to beat this route twice, the cut is near impossible.

Also worked a bit on 5-13/5-13x, which I'll get around to hopefully soon.  Still need to match my times on 4-4/4-4x from 360...which sucks.  

Edit:  And yes, I died horribly in the salt about 15-20 times.  Was pretty much the ratio, 500 deaths to one successful cut, which almost always ended in the salt.  I'm hesistant to even try this on 3-13x...

Nice job, you should really try to get some live recordings done. :P I'm all alone with these recordings right now.
From what I was able to figure, there's only 6 levels left with which we need a live recording for to finish the ILs! They are 3-14x, 3-16x, 6-5, 7-11x, 7-16, and 7-19x.

I tried a REALLY hard route on 3-16x for almost 3 hours straight and couldn't get it: Demonstration of my best attempt
The start wasn't done too well in this run, so you would be able to get a slightly better lead.

On 3-13, I made it a habit to press jump whenever I thought I was close to making it through. Never again did I run into the salt.

I guess I'll give the 3-16x run a shot on my main gaming rig so I can record, I'm usually using my laptop which for whatever reason lags badly with FRAPS even on -ultralow with this game.  I don't get that because it's a new i7/8GBRAM/560M...

But yeah 3-13, I guess I kept dying in the salt due to the fact I was literally never actively anticipating making the cut (would have gone crazy if I had), so whenever it did happen I was too slow to react.  But eventually I made it and the first time I actually walljumped off the little edge on the side of the salt pit which saved me.  Second time I just jumped clean over like a boss.  I must admit though, if I had died on the last saw cut both those times I would have just given up, it was that bad for me.  

So do you think it's possible to make this cut and finish 3-13x?  I don't want to even imagine finally making the cut, and then dying later or making a dumb mistake and losing time.

Edit:  I think I hold the Meat Boy WR on 3-14x to my memory.  So I'll try to live record matching my time there, or beating it if possible.

I tried 3-14x once, I was nearly able to get to the platform one cycle earlier, did you manage to do that, Jintek?
It was so close all the time.
Oh, no you didn't.
You got 13.15, I just tried a bit and got 13.13 =P

Good job, nice to know I can break my own score and record a IL!

Also, go try and beat my score on 3-15x, I've been trying to record myself beating it and I simply can't get past 8.62.  Maybe you or 73L would have better luck.

Wish granted! I tried out Kaede's route, but the start irked me. Naturally, I had to devise my own route.

Something else that's recently been on my mind was 5-1x with Meat Boy. I kept thinking there just HAD to be a way to get up to bandage girl faster. What I've found is that it is possible to wall jump off that one block space next to the bottom saw and still live. I haven't been able to squeeze through the upper saw yet, and pulling off the wall jump needs to be perfectly timed, but if done optimally could shave off at least 10 seconds (assuming it's possible to get through).

As for 3-13x, I don't want to even bother doing the cut again. Sure, it could be done, though I have that feeling of simply not wanting to. After you make the cut, you can take it easy for the rest of the run since you have a 4 second lead.

I got 13.05 btw. but somehow the upper platform accelerated me a bit, although it went in the opposite direction, I've got no clue if it was because of a lag or just a bug/luck.
If it wasn't a lag, I think a 12.9x time would be possible ^^
So go on and try ;)

Just saw Takuji's vid on how you could theoretically do 3-14x without waiting, will be trying soon. 

[Jintek]

Beat Takuji's 7.73 here!  Got the replay too.  This score depends entirely on the wall slide at the bottom of the pulse.



Credit to Takuji's strat here, I matched the WR time.



This is just to brag, I guess.  But I'm proud of it, not an easy run, I'm coming for Pirate's score next!



Big thanks to 73L for the strat!  This actually isn't as difficult as it looks but still takes a while to pull off.  Pixel perfect jump is boss.

Edit:  Even more progress!

Half of this is just a luck headache, other half is patience.  Skill is really the very last jump which has to be perfect.  Still could be improved with a slide on the middle belt or fall straight down the final hole perfectly.  But that required luck and skill I do not possess.


Vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8VCzUpy-8o

Near perfect run without wall slides I think.  With slides it's beatable.



Finally got my fucking ending wall slide, and somehow I ended up beating Exo.  Still didn't match my 6.29 360 score though, and I've also got a new idea that could make this 6.24 or lower, but it's 100% luck based.  Anyway, feels good to put this level behind me.

I just got the non-hacked world record on XOXO:



I actually didn't find this all too hard, in fact I think this level is one of the easiest Cotton Alley dark world levels; I have no idea why it's the least beaten level.

Here's my ranking on the global leaderboards, for the thread:


Slowly making my way through the 310 levels beaten people with bad times! 

Is anyone actually still playing? Jintek? Takuji? Who's still here?  I'm only just now getting into this game and everyone's gone
