but I woke up the very next day to find out that TimpZ had choked away a 15:44 in Wing Fortress. I thought I could take a break for a while after that. for about an hour, after which I completed a 15:48. One day in November I had a run tracking for 15:43 that died on hit 8 of the Death Egg fight, which stung quite a bit. Amazingly, no one had gotten it in the previous five months, and any run that was on pace found a way to die in one of the clutch levels at the end. And if it was going to be me, I wouldn't be able to do it on the strength of my own strategies alone.įinally, when presented with my uni holidays in November, I was able to have a strong crack at sub 16 again. From here, one of us breaking 16 minutes was inevitable, it was just a case of who cracked first. Not too long after, TeeNTee posted a video of a 16:03 on Youtube, which spurred me back into playing - as well as showing me a bunch of new strategies. Not nearly enough, especially considering I'd thrown a new 12 second timesaver into the route. In June I did a bunch of attempts, and improved that run by. It just wasn't quite as good as I wanted, and in the interim a legion of runners had come storming after the old mark of 16:13, led by TimpZ. So, after the last run I didn't see myself coming back to this in a hurry, and, well, I guess it wasn't a hurry, but something bothered me about the old run. If you want to learn to run this game, start here: TimpZ, TeeNTee, HDL, AlecK47, Tiberius, Naegleria, the list goes on.Įveryone who loves watching Sonic games get destroyed - this is why I do these, after all!
