new any% record - ~~15:55.9~~ ~~15:50.2~~ 15:36.2 by SDA timing
video forthcoming

I have worked on this game more than any other, so I'm satisfied to see my times finally approaching what is humanly possible, rather than merely being faster than others.

Amazing! I love your 2-boss run on sda, so I'm on the edge of my seat for this run.

Thanks! I'm still debating whether to improve the time a bit more, but a video will definitely be published before April.
UPDATE: Already improved it. The new run is a bit sloppier in some ways, but I might hang on to it, since it's sub-16 from title screen.

Great work, I see you have gotten a 14 second improvment already, thats insane! :D

When will we be able to feast our eyes on the run? I know you have submitted a run to sda also.

I would love to see you stream sometime in the future! :D

I've already uploaded the 15:50 to sda, but it sounds like I'll be able to reupload.

Impressive run! Well played.

Most awesome! I wrote on SDA that a person is allowed to "update" his submission with a better run! ;)

Hehe, have you even thought of streaming sometime? I am still hoping to do that documentary someday! ;)

Hey cak, hope you're still checking this forum. I just watched your run for the first time as it just got published on sda now. I was definitely not disappointed. Unbelievably good! I still don't get how you could save so much time over your previous record. I remember having watching jprophet stream attempts a few times and it looked like already that 17-min run would have been tough enough to beat. Well, either way congrats.

Thanks ktwo! The 17:15 was my first speedrun ever, so I wasn't all that thorough with my research. In a way, it was simply dumb luck that no one had achieved such a time yet. The Tourian skip wasn't optimized, nor the Mother Brain fight, nor a slew of other things. These days I don't do a run without researching it to a bloody pulp.

Even 15:36 isn't quite flawless, but it's unbeatable to most people, and that's good enough for me.

Yeah, you have maxed this out pretty much, most awesome!
