Hey there,
Sounds like you're missing cross hits and not getting enough to allow the 3x to spawn, though it's hard to say without video. That's the most likely cause.
Hey! Was curious about the state of speedruns for this as I love it casually. Doesn't seem to be much happening though. Is anyone sitting on any run knowledge? Was thinking of banging out some runs for the hell of it.
Yeah that tracks. I was a bit surprised to not see it since it's fairly early in the run, especially with how tight the top 3 leaderboard spots are. But highly understandable why one wouldn't go for it.
Hey, I picked this game up today. Found this faster bridge strat that saves roughly two seconds, though I doubt I'm the first to do it. In the small case that I am, I decided to share this.
I made a video with time comparisons here.
The recording hitches a bit but it should hopefully be clear that there's a time save.
You can only lose two frames in the two jumps after the first one or you plummet, but if you manage to hop frame perfectly you can just hold right for the entire bridge.
I just went through the process of downloading 1.1.30 through the depots, only to find that there were a lot of files missing. This led to cross referencing the full backup link (under Resources) and dealing with OneDrive to grab the missing stuff.
Just writing this here as a heads up. You're better off just getting the full game backup from the start.
Edit: This was all because I wanted a separate installation for my casual playthrough. Of course, if you're just going to speedrun it, you don't have to read too much into my post. Just downpatch your current install.
