By the player, for the player.
OH MY GOD I DID IT!!! I got the world record for Blue’s Story after over 1100 attempts and nearly 100 hours of practice! The new world record is 21:24, a world record by 23 seconds (I got the time wrong in the video. It’s 2 am when I’m writing this give me a break). The previous world record was 21:47 by cl_op_s, who held this record for over three years. Watch the run below:
I hope you guys enjoy this new record!

I got a back-to-back PB! I did not expect this to happen at all. I can still save a bunch of time in Magic Kingdom and Hell to getting fewer encounters. Watch the run here:
That’s all I wanted to say. I’m speechless.

This came out of nowhere. I was just doing offline attempts to practice for stream tomorrow, and it happened, somehow. Watch the run below:
This run was better than my 24, but can still be majorly improved. I had better menuing and movement overall, but I was sloppy in TimeLord’s Region, I got an encounter in Magic Kingdom, and I heavily choked stepping stone room, which cost me a mid 22. I will still do attempts for this category until I get a high 21 since I know for a fact I’m capable of that now. I’m very happy with this run, but I am by no means satisfied. This run puts me in 3rd on SRC, 4th in Japan, and 5th overall.
Anyway, that’s enough of me complaining. Enjoy the run!

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!
