By the player, for the player.
A bit of context: the developer of Fishy, Keron Veal, released an update for the first Fishy today. In this update, he added a mode that brings in 10 levels from Fishy2. I decided it would be a great use of my quarantine time to spend four hours on getting the world record for completing all 10 of these levels. Watch the meme run here:

I’m now a Twitch Affiliate!!! This means that you can now subscribe to me on Twitch and give me Bits. You can subscribe at 3 different tiers: Tier 1 is $4.99/month, Tier 2 is $9.99/month, and Tier 3 is $24.99/month. Do note that if you subscribe through the iOS app, you will be spending more to subscribe than a desktop user. Additionally, if you connect your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account, you are given one free Tier 1 subscription to any streamer you want that becomes available the instant your subscription runs out. You get a neat little badge next to your name in chat depending on how long you’ve been subscribed to me. Here are all the badges:
You can get another badge next to your name for giving me Bits. Bits are the equivalent to pennies on Twitch. They do cost slightly more than a penny, however. You can get Bits for free by watching some ads. Each badge is earned once you donate a certain amount of Bits. The minimum is 1 Bit and the maximum is 5 million Bits (which is equivalent to $5,000 USD). Here are all the different badges you can get for giving me Bits:
Unfortunately, since I’m a new Affiliate, I’m only allowed one emote per tier. As of writing, the only emote I have is the F in the SaGa Frontier logo. The emote is called ffvdgaF.
That’s all I wanted to share. Thank you for your support and I hope I can make great content for y’all!

I FINALLY DID IT. It was a somewhat awful run, but at least I finally did it. I am now 4th on SRC, 5th on niconico, and 9th overall. I’m on top of the world right now. The final time was 24:46. Watch the run here:
This was a pretty bad run in comparison to what I want. I had to do 3 dives in Junk Shop, I messed up several menus throughout the run, my movement in TimeLord’s Region wasn’t great, my bad movement in Magic Kingdom made me get 2 extra encounters, and my nerves made me get 1 extra encounter in Hell. I also didn’t get the best Hell’sLord fight, but it was at least decent. On the bright side, I had a relatively great Mu’s Tomb and Skulldrake fight, a very good TimeLord fight, decent RNG in Magic Kingdom and Hell in terms of the kinds and amounts of enemies I encountered, and a perfect stepping stone room. That’s the first time I’ve executed clowp’s stepping stone room strategy in a run. Almost all of my mistakes after TimeLord were solely due to nerves. I’m happy with this run, but I am by no means satisfied. I will continue to grind this category for a 22 minute time, which is definitely possible if I don’t get any extra encounters and be faster in every menu.
I hope you enjoy SaGa Frontier – Blue’s Story in 24:46!

Hey, guys!
The website is back! My host did some funky things and locked me out for a hot minute, but we’re back now. Since then, I’ve finally started speedrunning SaGa Frontier and may or may not have gotten a 28:53 a couple weeks ago. I’m now seriously grinding the category for a top time. The full run can be found here:
I’ve also created a shared leaderboard for all of SaGa Frontier and am actively scouring both international and Japanese times, both current and ancient, to make it as accurate as possible. Click here to check it out.
Additionally, I’ve switched from streaming on YouTube to streaming on Mixer. So if you want to catch one of my livestreams, you can either find me on Twitch or find me on Mixer.
Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. Welcome back!

Like the title says, I improved that world record on an offline run. There were a few optimizations that I discovered watching flarebearSR run All Levels (he’s the current WR holder for that btw). Most of the time save was in the extra levels at the end since I figured out you can make the first level’s first cycle if you jump and move forward right away. Also, I’ve decided to stop running this category until further optimizations.
Enough of me talking, here’s the run:
