1. The World Map counts toward load times. If it does not, I want my time recounted cause I'm certain I'd still have the WR.

2. Cutscenes do not count toward load times. All cutscenes until you hit the credits are a part of the run. That's why you can see Ghost and I both trying to skip the cutscenes instantly.

3. Save the poison traps and drop them on Apollyon. They don't hurt you nearly as much as it impacts her. Watch Ghost or I's runs.

4. Samurai Story definitely has some challenges. Some of it being RNG, too. If it's killing your runs, you could run Samurai Story first. Well, 3.1-3.5. But then you're leaving 1.2 up to low RNG with the Commander spike kill.

If loading times are included, it becomes less about skill and more about who has the best system. I can’t agree to that, unfortunately.

3 chapters.

Knights 1-1 through 1-6 Vikings 2-1 through 2-6 Samurai 3-1 through 3-6 Eighteen levels.

Agreed. Also, I wish we had a macro or something that could auto-time or auto-remove the loads from our runs. If that was the case, I’d be running it again.

I tried to run it two months ago to compete for the WR again, and I thought I was about 2-3 minutes off the WR. Turned out I was 12 minutes off cause my load times were so hot and cold. Just can’t do it.

I might come back for it. I can’t do the full game runs anymore because I run the game on my gaming laptop, and the load times are too high in variance for a full run anymore. So, unless I get a new PC, your record isn’t in jeopardy, GhostDeath ;)

I would prefer we do chapter runs, but I can understand if GhostDeath doesn’t want to include them.

Here's a link to the (former) WR run. Took down most of my Twitch content but wanted to keep this available.
