The run is over here: youtu.be/faHIFT7_CbU
My PokΓ©mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky derust is going fairly well, as today I just got a new Personal Best by 5 minutes and new World Record by 4 minutes on the Cutsceneless mod in In-Game Time. I think I might start doing vanilla runs soon :)
I made a new YouTube video, all on Cuphead's unassuming but suprisingly difficult and complex Results Screen for the Speedrun :) - youtu.be/S_uOX1GzTvE
Oh, looks like Summoning Salt's video judging by the credits and timestamp in the bottom right of that screen. Thanks for letting me know, well-spotted!
This was the most difficult PB I've ever chased in this game, and definitely a contender for one of the hardest across all games I've speedrun. 26:XX in Cuphead Any% 1.1+ done.
Planning on running PokΓ©mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky for a bit, then potentially tackling Cuphead 300% :)
New YouTube video, this is a Behind-The-Scenes look at the Cuphead TAS I completed a few months ago, going over what finally made it possible 8 years after the original release, what the process of making it looked like, and things of this sort :) - youtu.be/vHTI_8RkRSQ
I made a new YouTube video, all about Cuphead's final boss which is the most difficult and complex fight in the Speedrun :) - youtu.be/eCbE0N00gcU
New Cuphead WR! Really solid run outside of Captain Brineybeard, who provided the worst possible RNG pattern (+8 seconds over gold). 26:XXβ’ soon. Hopefully.
I forgot to post my last PB of 27:03, but today I got really close to 26:XX! I got the Devil Freeze on pace, but messed up the opening to the final phase. Still ended up getting a half-second PB :)
New Cuphead Any% 1.1+ WR! This was a very solid run outside of a few major time losses (Werner, Phantom, Devil). I am planning on continuing until 26:xx!
I have made a YouTube video covering the Lobber weapon, some of its weird and even buggy mechanics, and why it's such a great weapon for Speedrunners. Looking to post more videos covering Cuphead Speedrunning in the future :) - youtu.be/8jGKP0O2pAQ
Cuphead WR!
After a history of getting denied the record due to bad Devils, this time around I got the best Devil pattern (1.8% chance), which allowed this to happen on a more average run.
I'm still feeling very motivated to run this, so I will keep going. Thanks everybody for the support.
I got 0.17s away from a new Cuphead WR! It was a fairly solid run throughout and I'm happy to get this PB. If the WR doesn't get improved in the meantime (which is a big if), the next PB will probably be the one to do it :)
Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB! The record is now 27:12 by Quincely, but I did beat what the record was when I started this grind again a few months ago. This was a very good run throughout, but I got a difficult Spider pattern on The Devil and couldn't close out a good fight with it. Still very motivated!
Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB, again! This time, to get it was a mediocre pace into the The Devil that ended up getting one of the best RNG patterns. Happy with my consistency lately!
Another small Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB! This one was once again ahead of the current WR entering The Devil, but got bad RNG once again. Still, I am feeling very good about the rate at which I've been getting good runs going and I feel like what I do have control over has been going pretty well lately :)
New Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB! This was 6 seconds ahead of the current WR of 27:16 entering the final boss, but really bad Spider RNG lost a ton of time. Still, I've had a ton of good attempts lately and getting this PB on top of that feels really motivating.
Summoning Salt just released a 1h+ documentary on Cuphead's Any% 1.1+ World Record Progression. Yours truly features in this, and it makes me very happy to see these stories being told from a game and community that are very near and dear to me. - www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUW6...
After about 200 hours of work over the course of a little over a month, the First Ever Cuphead TAS is finished! I think it turned out great and the project taught me a lot of optimizations that I'm already trying to bring over to my Real Time runs :) - youtu.be/YYuafcehOSE
PB'd in Cuphead Any% 1.1+ again! I am now the second person to ever get a 27:2x.
I am working on a full-game TAS that I am probably going to spend some time trying to finish now, but I am hoping to continue bringing my time down after that :)
