Peak run, gg!

Yes.

Nice wr

If you do it for an entire run it can save a few seconds but hardly worth it imo

I don’t understand why anyone would want to manually mash in the first place, it only really saves frames and strains your hands

Alright looks like there is a pacifist guide. I haven’t checked this page in a while my bad

You should run on V1.1 as it’s the most recent version that can run the automasher (make sure you download the mod) If you want guides on the neutral and genocide routes, you can find them on this SRC page. (A pacifist guide may exist but I’m unaware) The neutral guide is mostly up to date, except for a few minor things involving the automasher which aren’t that big of a deal.

Maybe they represent the chapter bosses?

The King and Queen chess pieces could be king and queen respectively. The Crown could be anything but I’m leaning towards Tenna because he’s referred to as a king and briefly wears a crown. The Knight piece is, well, the knight, and this could be referring to the chapter 3 fight or a later fight. The flower is probably some sort of chapter 5 reference, and that leaves 2 chapters that are not revealed (probably chapter 4 since it’s the current chapter) and chapter 7 since it’s the end

This is only speculative, feel free to disagree

It’s honestly too bad the knife has 0 benefits in that case

No, but they’re really useful for the knight

The knife could be useful for the knight and the titan especially since it only costs 40 to to use rude buster. I think runners are still getting the jevils tail because it has some sort of money-making ability I think, but in theory devils knife could be faster

I made my own video just showing how I beat the knight consistently. But I think there’s also a few other tutorials that would probably work better for some people.

If this is real, I will eat a bucket of snails

Eram is one of the two optional bosses in chapter 3. He is a required boss in all bosses for that reason. (You skip him in all shadow crystals if you can beat the knight without the mantle)

“All bosses” is a category where you fight all the bosses you would normally fight in the speedrun, along with the “secret bosses” of each chapter (Jevil, Spamton Neo, Eram, Knight, Gerson)

Mike is more like a minigame joke fight sort of thing, and it doesn’t involve getting a shadow crystal, meanwhile all the other bosses mentioned above do hand out shadow crystals. It’s the same kind of argument against skipping Berdly and the DJ’s in chapter 2 all bosses.

I think you’re right to hold against the wall, but iirc you have to make sure you lose a small amount of height on each jump, otherwise you will fall. Also, hold in the opposite direction of the wall after each jump for a short amount of time before holding towards the wall again.

At least that’s how I do them. There may be better ways.

I’ve only really seen breaks being allowed on really long categories in games, and even those breaks are only 15 minutes usually and runners use them for bathroom breaks, eating etc.

It should never be a really long break you’re taking

Yeah honestly it's too bad that twitch is no longer reliable. Though I never used it that much I was planning on eventually using it for streams and such. I guess they just hate speedrunners now?

I think it would more or less just be boring, especially since most fights would become betrayal kill fights

The most interesting category with this ruleset would be low% geno, as not picking up new weapons would greatly affect the enemies and some of the bosses

Everything takes forever without the revolver
