happy that i'm starting to get the timing of Phantoms now after such a long time away from playing. v much enjoying just picking a level to grind a day and spending like 30-45 minutes to get a lil PB

there's a lot of time to save in this level by hitting the other trapwire to the right during the part at :09 buuuuuuuuut that would take skill and a lot more grinding and i don't care for rn and will settle for 37th lol

finally got Amethyst medal on the worst level in the game. god bless PuppyPowertools

finally got amethyst on this one...

fucking hate the jump to hit your head at the beginning, bc it saves you so much time when done right (the one in this vid isn't even That good, you can get going a lot faster). i probably had 50+ runs in the 9.8-9.85 range so this one feels gooood. also, this song is a banger

so happy i finally got amethyst medal on this, don't even care that i fucked up

grinding for the self-bulletboosts is fucking miserable for me, i did it for about 3 hours and was FINALLY able to get this run on the 4th i'd ever gotten in that time (for those unaware, reflecting your own bullets is INCREDIBLY precise. the hitbox lingers for a good amount of time but you need to hit what feels like the EXACT pixel to get the boost)

havent updated this in a while bc i figured that it'd be better to save full chapter amethysts into one video rather than spamming them out all the time. i love Ch 2-3 and 5-9, so i've been focusing on those, and i'm 5/10 on ch 3 and working toward that but have some Demons to conquer there (Canals and Guardian...)

playing much less these days, but happy i'm still able to pump out like top 10-20th place times

got all the Violet sidequest amethysts. i enjoyed grinding these bc violet's sidequest song (Rigged Game) is one of my favorites from the OST so i get to hear it a lot. the Doghouse in the beginning sucks so bad but i also didn't want to grind it anymore at that time lol

I am watching this again and still blown away at how cleanly you hit the katana moments. Does that end up being a big part of very low times (i guess dev or lower, for reference) on a lot of levels?? i am getting dragged back into firing this up for a little bit, thank you

short answer: yes, they add up and matter a lot at the high ranks but for getting dev times don’t super matter as much

long answer: i’d say the order of importance for fast times are:

  1. routing: just the actual way you move through the level and organize your demon elimination, ammo, and weapon discards, shortcuts, etc. (majority of time is saved here)
  2. execution: just how fast you can actually do all of those things, how straight of lines you run in (a lot of time is saved here)
  3. “tech”: stuff like shooting/reflecting enemy bullets, slashing/shooting your own projectiles, extremely niche physics things that all require too many details/explanation to write out here (each of these things save fractions of seconds, but they add up)
