it's actually a speedrun strategy - the save icon (and therefore the time when you can reset to skip the transition) comes faster if you knock over the cones.
It's actually really cool to see a world record speedrun that still involves some deaths, it makes watching it a really tense experience and the victories all that much sweeter. Great job on this amazing run!
Lol I mean, that Helicopter gave me *A LOT* of trouble when I played and Headmaster was moderately challenging but Kissyface was really fun on hard mode
@@Nicc2609 well theres tons to do if u dont just want to play through the story. The game has 6 different weapons (5 considering one is just a reskin) and 2 different game modes (normal and hard) you can do at least 10 runs right there. You can also achievement hunt which will take you a while. You can also speedrun the game which will take you EVEN LONGER if you want good times. Theres a lot of stuff to do if you actually want to play the game.
@@tomas736 everything you just said doesn't make sense because speedrun will take 30 mins max do the math for 10 runs and getting the every sword only takes minutes but that doesnt show how can anyone play this games for 180 hours.
I have started playing last week and currently I am doing a hard mode playthrough. I now have reached chinatown with >1000 deaths and a time between 2-3 hours. You have my respect for your dedication to speedrun this.
I was having a hard time with hard mode, and I can say this helped me a whole lot with how to actually complete the levels, I wasn't quite as godlike as you are, but I just barely managed thanks to this video
okay so, i went and tried to count how much time you lost due to deaths and early resets. What iI got is that if you did this run again without these mistakes, you would get a time of around 19.53 +/- some time lost/gained with optimization. I didn't count the small things, like not aligning with the elvator so you go through it instantly, and stuff like that, so it could be lower.
16:47 you can skip the boss fight here by rolling underneath the cameras to make sure the boss fight doesnt get activated. Same thing with the other levels with cameras. (no idea if they're actually cameras but whatever is on the roof you can just roll past the "activators" to skip everything.)
Each blade has this kind of hover side effect when you constantly slash while in the air. This blade (I think the Prism Blade), the normal katana and the Savant Knife have the most effective hover times, and I think Savant Knife lets you stay in the air the longest. And you can switch directions while slashing
Somewhat regret using the claymore as though there are situations where it comes in handy tremendously, it's just too slow :C Took me 2:44:23.15 Was my final achievement so 100% it after 25.4 hours YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
My first play through of hard mode I underestimated and did it with slow-mo turned off because I had already gotten pretty good at the base game. Man it was rough but I finished with about a 4 hour time on speedrun mode. It’s brutal but it was a blast figuring it all out
Wow I did my first playthrough without slow-mo too but I can’t conceive playing hard mode without it some timing’s are too precise to be executed in real time
My current Normal Mode speedrun is like an hour and 10 minutes, and I couldn't even get past the final room of the Factory in Hard Mode. And then you have people like this. So anyways, what sword is that ?
16:46 you probably know this because it looks like thats what you were trying to do, but you can avoid both the TVs and Leon's attacks if you aren't seen by the cameras. You need to roll to the center tile and then roll again to get out, but you must land directly center. With the other rooms where there is a wire to the TV, jump or jump+slash to cut the wire and the doors should open and/or remain open. Would absolutely save significant time. Theres actual tutorials on this that explain it way better than I do though if anyone is interested
I'm not sure if you plan to make an attempt at this again anytime soon, but just so you know, the survival part at 16:45 can be skipped by dodge rolling past the hemisphere sensors at the top of the room. Would save you 1 min of time. Same goes for the room after that too. Unless that doesn't work on hardmode, I've not tested it on that mode myself.
Yeah it doesn't work because of the enemies on the first one of those rooms with sensors you just can't kill them without them or you going through a single sensor and you can't reach the wire in time either so you're jut stuck with it

Yup
Thats my time for the first level
It took me 16hrs to complete the game
my first completion was like 5 hours, then i did it in 6 hours w/hardmode
Play again your time will improve
also got all achievements including the gold metal one and total game time on steam was like 30 hours

Speed running this game is kinda meta, you're using kronos to start the whole game over every time you fail, instead of just starting the level over.

I got through Chinatown in 256 deaths only!

800 deaths on the last boss
