I guess I can make a Braid thread! I guess it will be just me posting PB's.

I'd love for others to try speedrun this game though. Most games death = restart a level or maybe even the run is ruined. In Braid death = 1-2 sec lost (usually). But there are other stuff in Braid which a failure will lose a lot more time due to cycles and such. Let me know if you are interested in learning the speedrun route and I can guide you through.

Also, it is hard to say if I am good or not by only comparing myself to p-why :P

Latest PB:

I am currently # 2 in the world. Working towards that WR....

So I have quite a lot of info on how to speedrun Braid in a decent fashion. I thought I'd go ahead and make a "how to speedrun Braid" video. More to come.

So I got a 24:48 yesterday (PB is 24:44 and WR is 24:21). I looked through the whole things and did some math.

I lost 24 seconds in stuff I consider easy to fix. I lost 30 sec in stuff which are harder, but fixable as well. I lost 2-3 sec in stuff that I would not try to fix too much.

That gives me an lower limit of about 23:53 in a "flawless" run with current strategies. WR for me is very doable atm.

WR uses a strategy in which saves 5 seconds more compared to mine but it is very risky. I see no need to learn that at the moment. Just perfect what I am doing.
