I got the first sub-40 outside of Japan in Lute’s Story!!!

I FINALLY GOT THE SUB-40! HELL YEAH, DUDE! I just randomly decided to stream today and it happened. Oh my god. I reset twice in Shingrow cuz both me and the game are stupid, then twice in Mondo Base cuz I’m really stupid, but the rest of the run was near perfect. I even golded phase 5 by a minute cuz I somehow managed to keep both humans alive.

And yes, this is indeed the first time someone outside of Japan has gotten a sub-40. I won’t be looking for another PB unless I suddenly get the itch again or something else is discovered that saves more time. You can watch the run here:

Website is back! Updates + new speedrun PBs

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!

New World Record in Fast Rolling Any% – 4:52.94

Hey, guys!

 

Happy new year! It’s been forever since I’ve posted here. I apologize for that.

Recently, I’ve been speedrunning a game called Fast Rolling live on my Twitch and YouTube channels, going after the coveted world record. Well, today, it finally happened. Not only did I beat the previous world record by a country mile, I skipped sub-6 minutes and went directly to sub-5 minutes. Since I now have the world record, I no longer plan on running the game unless a major discovery about the game is revealed. Although this run was pretty good, there’s still over half a minute of time to be saved throughout the run. On top of this world record, I obtained my 9th individual level WR in the game, making me quite literally the best Fast Rolling player in the world. You can watch the Any% WR below or by clicking here:

As of writing, the run has not been approved by the moderators. I hope it happens within the next day or so. In the future, I plan on running a mix of Super Mario 64, SaGa Frontier, and Star Ocean: The Second Story. If you want to watch me attempt to PB in each game, follow my Twitter or join my Discord to be notified exactly when I go live.

 

Here’s to the next decade.

New Super Mario 64 16 Star PB: 31:17.31

Hello, everyone!

Last night during my live stream (which you should totally watch on Tuesday’s and Friday’s), I was able to beat my personal best in SM64 16 star not once, but twice! (To be fair, my first PB wasn’t that hard to beat in the first place) The first PB of the night was a 48:09.04, which beat my previous PB by almost an hour!

Just a few runs later, I was able to PB again, this time by almost 16 minutes, bringing my PB as of today to 31:17.31:

Personally, I think this run can be greatly improved upon within a couple weeks to a mid-to-low 20-minute time, so long as I can consistently get all the basic tricks first try and complete the stages faster than I completed them in that run. Before I can break the 20-minute barrier, however, I will need to learn how to complete each star in the fastest way possible.

 

Enjoy!
