![]() ![]() I was fairly appalled at my boss fights, especially the ones in Chapter 10, and I decided a revision was in order. The nail in the coffin came when early in December 2006, out of boredom, I decided to have another look at my old run. In the third iteration of SDA Awards, my old Megaman X Command Mission run was a finalist for 'Best in-run mistake' for revisiting the equipment screen too often and being slow in optimizing equipment. There's two phases of voting - the initial votes and then a 'finalist' set of votes with more restrictive choices. For the uninitiated, Trihex (yes, the same Trihex that did the Yoshi's Island runs, the Sly Cooper run, and the Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3 runs) started the whole SDA Awards idea - basically people vote for what they think best fits into a bunch of categories (I can't list all the categories, but it's things like 'best speedrun', 'best in-run mistake', 'most unique trick', 'most entertaining commentary', and things like that, as well as a bunch of forum-specific categories), very similarly to more well-known awards shows. The first hint to me that something was wrong with my old run was something that occurred during the third iteration of the SDA Awards. Also, just because this beats my old run significantly, don't call my old run 'sucktastic' - while it may pale in comparison to this, my old time was somewhat acceptable for what I knew at the time I made it (even though it looks uglier and uglier each time I look at it now). People who are familiar with the game will know most of the stuff I'm saying, though they may not know the subtleties. But before I get started, these comments are more designed for someone who is NOT familiar with the game. So the casual viewer who does not visit the forums never sees the works in progress - and they only rarely see the concept I'm trying to describe.Īs I promised in the comments for the last run, I WILL go into great detail about this one. However, most of the time, these first runs are only ever posted on the forums (or YouTube). Without a first run to show to people for ideas, the really good runs would never exist on SDA. I should be regretting submitting my old run, right? WRONG!!!!įor without a run like that, we would not have this. This one is a tidy 4 hours and 26 minutes (according to the game clear save at the end of the run) and took just one segment. It was 5 hours and 46 minutes in 20 segments. Well, my first RPG speedrun project finally gets a serious makeover - more than two years later. ![]()
