Thank you so much! My friend told me about this game as a joke and, as a joke, I started speedrunning it. I was doing this with very little help, mostly learning from playing. My personal best is currently at 4:17 and that was without the help of this video; I can't wait to see what my best will become with this! You have shown me skips I never thought of and techniques I would have never learned. I didn't mean for that to be a time stamp to the video lol
I guess I need to give up on the idea of the 3:30 achievement. Hours later I finally got a sub 4, but I don't see any feasible way to shave off another 30 seconds.
Getting that achievement is much harder than 4:00. It took me over a week of playing several hours everyday to get to sub 3:30. But if you can get sub 4, then you can definitely get sub 3:30 if you're having fun and enjoy small incremental improvements on your time. I found having LiveSplit running helped motivate me. I could see where I could save time if I just played a bit more consistently and then I spent time practicing those spots. All that being said, if you're not having a good time trying to get that achievement, there are too many other great games out there to worry about it
@@hobt0r just got my run time down to 3:57, and got stuck there. Your guide helped me so much on cutting down my run time significantly, I'm so close to 3:30. Thanks so much!
About trick names: there aren’t any lol. Usually just described as “that one thing that X does”. For the sweeping thing for length 1 stairs, that was first done in a TAS by either Nurufu or Yama. as far as I know I was first to do it in a run, in my first 2:51 I think. If I remember correctly Yama first found the bouncing, or at least vibrating, length 1 sword back in June / July, instead of holding right to swing it over your head and under your feet (I would recommend this for beginners personally). Also, big S/O to Daborshy for thinking outside the box for the backwards jumping. Watching this kinda motivates me to run the game again but I said that in like October and haven’t played since. Again, great video and I hope this helps people.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Per the script, I said "swing forward" around 80 times 😅 Also, thanks for providing the names of who discovered some of the techniques! I'll add them to the description on this video.
Great question! This guide was made well before the mobile version was out. I have played a bunch of the mobile version, and I think the same techniques in this video work, but they are all a bit harder to execute. The mobile version adds about 30 seconds to my average time
It takes some practice, but the idea is that moving the sword clockwise then counterclockwise pushes you forward. The trick is to get the timing right. You'll have to get it by feel more or less
