Wanted to watch a full speedrun, but looks like there is an entry on the leaderboards but no video, not even a screenshot of anything. It's a real shame.

I have a few individual level videos, but that's it. Maybe if I ever get back to it :)

Sadly I have not had the money for an capture card (poor student), whenever I get one though I will make videos!

Played this game years ago and really enjoyed it. I was hoping I'd find some runs here too. Just out of curiosity are there any known glitches or skips or is the run pretty straight forward?

I have not found any glitches or skips. Mainly using the gale to navigate quickly through the levels. Whenever I get the money to get a capture card (hopefully soon) I will start streaming/uploading footage for others to watch.

Nice seeing someone else wanting to run the game! Been a bit lonely! :)

Forgot to check back here after all this time. It's definitely a game I'd like to play again sometime got a ps3 that may or may not have been a dud once I figure out how to get it working I'll get a copy of the game and playthrough it again. (I'm assuming ps3 would be faster as that's usually the case over x360 - otherwise I could just get it on x360 which I know still works properly)

I am not completely sure which version runs better, though lately I have noticed that it doesn't run amazing on my ps3 any more, might always have been like this, or my ps3 has seen better days.

Anyways I have started recording some now, sadly I can't record with hdmi (Damn hdpc) so I have to record through SCART.

Turns out my PS3 is dead. So I found a copy for x360. That should be coming in on Thursday. I'm really looking forward to playing the game again, I remember really enjoying it when I played it.

I didn't know hdpc was an issue with ps3. I wonder if there's a way around it.

It is possible to strip it with a splitter, that way you can use a capture card with hdmi. I believe though in most countries this is illegal to do, and because of that they don't write that out on product pages wich makes it difficult to find.

Looks like the game's coming to pc "soon"

I've started a casual playthrough of this to investigate whether I'd like to pick it up as a speedrun, and I agree that (especially with the PC release coming soontm) the boards should make the swap to require video. It's a bit disheartening to just see a few times on the boards without any footage.

I know I don't have a stake in this right now, but I'd love to see this game get more attention and getting some videos on the board would definitely help out in that aspect.

Personally, so far I'm enjoying the game (the art direction is really interesting), so when I'm done I'll see if I can help out in this aspect by getting some IL times and a full any% on there, with video :)

(Currently playing it on PS3, using one of those sketchy splitters :P )

Hey folks, new to speedrunning in general but im a huge fan of El Shaddai. I know stuff seems to be sort of dead here but i wanted to ask about any plans for runs on the new PC port

Hi, I'm a new moderator of this game. I am in the process of updating the leaderboard. If you have an opinion, please write it down.

I have improved the following points ・Require video submissions. ・Separate console and Steam. ・Separate NG and NG+, and remove G rank.

I used translation software to write this. thank you :)

Yo, i'm quite surprised nobody ever tried a run to be fair, is anyone planning on doing it ? i might do one myself after i finish my casual playthrough

Merci pour votre commentaire! C'est quelque chose que vous seul planifiez et faites. Le diagramme de flux est également original. Je voulais que ce jeu soit joué par le plus de gens possible, et je voulais transmettre la grandeur de ce jeu au plus grand nombre. Cependant, le niveau de difficulté que je fais est extrêmement difficile, donc si vous allez courir rapidement, je pense qu'il est préférable de pratiquer avec un niveau de difficulté normal où personne ne court. .. Si vous voulez courir avec une difficulté supplémentaire, je pense que vous devriez utiliser environ +3 minutes du record du monde en Easy comme guide. J'ai établi une ligne directrice comme celle-là et je demande des records.

Ho hey so you actually submitted a run right ? is it still awaiting verification from a mod ?

btw prefer translating to english as i dont think many people will be able to understand french ^^" don't worry about me i'm fine with english

Now that i'm thinking about it, maybe we should make a discord server or something if you guys wanna talk about the game/run ?

Hello. I have been trying to challenge the run by stage, but have not been able to do so because all the games take almost 4 hours. Hoping to give it a shot next year when I have some free time!

Creating a discord server is a great idea! I'm not used to using discord, so I'd like someone to make a discord server.

Hello everyone. I've started doing runs of this game for fun, and it's been very fun. I just completed my second full game NG+ RTA, coming in at 3:06. I'll be submitting them soon for everyone to see. I've been playing on the Steam version. I've noticed that it seems you can skip cutscenes faster on console than on Steam, which are effectively the loads for the game. This tells me that for full game runs, console is probably the faster option by a minute or two. I just bought the Xbox 360 version of the game to verify this. The US PS3 is very expensive, but not the JP version, so I might get that as well if I feel like it. Hope to see some runs from more people. In the meantime, I have my eyes set on beating the 2:58 that doesn't have video :)

Yo that's rly cool, i'm currently taking some notes while running some ILs Cool to finally have one full run on the leaderboard (i mean when it will be validated)
