1st no reset Gear 3 Any% run. Interesting thumbnail choice by TH-cam. Zoomed in RANK B
This took a while as it's somewhat RNG dependent on your Rivals skill if you get a SPB or not
SPB and Shrink are just guaranteed time loss. They are a speedrunners worst nightmare.
Ironically sometimes the best way to save time is to go slower which I am not a fan of.
The further away you get from the pack the more likely you'l see a Shrink and if the Rival can't keep up with you then you get a SPB. Some stages are almost guaranteed to get a SPB cause they can't keep up with the speedrun route.
Bubble+Lightning shield aren't much better to deal with either. The Rival ALWAYS gets this in 1st or 2nd it feels like and they never fail to hit it
1:02 - I just dropped a trap for future me. No CPU will ever hit that
1:39 - Wow we are off to a bad start. Shrink and SPB on the 1st track. Getting a SPB here is pretty rare normally
2:10 - The fact I still finished faster than 1:20 IGT is a miracle with everything I tried to screw myself over and the Shrink+SPB
2:55 - I went way too far to the right and fumbled the 1st shortcut. On the plus side it means no SPB on the 2nd lap
3:52 - And there is the SPB right on cue. I was shocked this didn't happen on the 2nd lap on the previous run
6:10 - That was way too close to going wrong
7:49 - Suddenly Spinning Top. I know it's called a Garden Top but I didn't even notice it was from S3 when I first saw it. It's always going to be Spinning Top to me
7:58 - Uh thanks Knuckles I guess. He saved me a tiny bit of time possibly
10:14 - Ah the Shrink+SPB combo. Name a more iconic duo
12:13 - Didn't want to do that! Too close
13:10 - It's time to start counting how many times I get Shrink+SPB. 3 times
13:40 - That was a pretty uneventul Shrink. Only hit it once
15:34 - And I messed that up badly. Could've been a gold split or at least very close to if I hadn't done that
20:34 - I like how close I was to getting the item from the ghost, I retake 1st and it's like "Hold up he's 1st slow down a lot"
20:44 - It was invincibility too! If I knew I had that queued up I wouldn't have took the quick boost ring earlier. Then I wouldn't have got 1st back
22:17 - Oh the dead stop again. Why can't it bounce me a bit to the right!
22:27 - How did I not grab that?
24:07 - I'm doing it again. Dropping a Mine only I will hit
31:25 - I've charged too early... No way I survived that. That can't be more than like half a second from overcharging
32:52 - Why did I try and snipe Eggman...
35:50 - Shrink+SPB 4 times. And this Shrink really messed me up
41:53 - Woah! Motobug really wanted to fault me there. Was not expecting that
43:15 - Rival really wants me to have the Eggmark
And then I come to a dead stop on a side wall again
44:14 - Whoops. Didn't meant to do that
45:12 - I call BS. The invincibility music had NOT finished yet. And I could still see the invincibility boost aura
55:51 - Rival trying to make me reset here again. I don't think so! I was lucky to have avoided it honestly
58:09 - I would count this but the SPB is hardly going to reach me in time to matter
Also 1st time I've had a SPB on this track
59:43 - Prepare to be deafened in 3... 2... 1...
1:00:42 - How did Eggman bump me up?
1:01:21 - I keep doing that. Hitting the item button before I've held down
1:04:43 - Dam it Eggman you ruined my Tripwire strat
1:08:23 - Game was having a moment there
1:10:19 - Suddenly Shrink lasers! This stage also gets brighter rather than darker with Shrink active
1:17:49 - I was deliberately holding on to the Lightning Shield in case a SPB was about to lock on
1:17:58 - Ok it seems safe, I can't go faster holding this and I'm not getting a SPB so let's move on
1:18:04 - You are joking me.. I just had a Lightning Shield 5 seconds ago!
1:27:37 - Completely forgot I was the one who dropped this and I went for it hoping it was a 2x/3x
Would it be a viable strategy to try to unlock a final cup earlu with keys / challenges completed?
That is a separate category as its basically RNG until you can key Extra Cup which isn't something I am interested in running
@@236troy I see. So you’re saying the order of the challenges are randomized and not the same for every playthrough?
@@fruitsalad2379Yep. That run is basically reset until Extra Cup is next to one of the challenges unlocked by Tutorial Skip
Is there's chance of you doing all the cups in the future?
Depends, I'd have to chat with the mods to have break rules added. I can't do a 6/7 hour run in 1 sitting with no breaks.
But I am up for doing it if I can have a 10 minute break somewhen during the run
Is it possible that in a speedrun it could be worth it to just let the spb hit you? That sounds kind of lame, but it also sounds possible
It might be better to do that once it's been a lap or so. The tumble lasts ages if hit near the start of the chase
@@236troy yeah if you just let the thing hit you it sens you into low orbit for like 20 seconds. It's kinda wild actually(As a casual player I unironically love the mechanics of the SPB though, best blue shell frfr)
