So I just ran though Zelda II (Starting what effectively amounts to "New Game +" mode). In 51 minutes. Not bad, really...too bad my target time is sub-48 minutes.

Going for a record of some sort?

I've been... um...

*looks at Football Manager 2005*

...trying to come up with an edit (.ddt) file that allows as many national teams to be controlled as possible without massive slowdown. Fun.

Woo, slowdown.

And yeah, I'm trying for the Twin Galaxies-recognized record on those particular settings. The problem is that I'm really not sure what else I can skip (I skip all the towns except for Saria, including New Kasuto, entirely). I'll try a few more times to see if I can make up the difference on skill alone; after that, it's time to streamline the route.

Geeeeez. You'd probably have to streamline (precise jumps, memorize patterns, etc.) but it's not like you're that far off. Plus if you're starting at 1/1/1...

Thankfully, I'm not.

As I said, this is going through what I guess you'd call "New Game +", where you start with all the levels and spells and such (Not items though) that you had from the previous game.

And I just realized that I lost several seconds in one of the palaces because I went the wrong way, and got screwed on the second-to-last palace when I evidently miscounted enemies (Normally, you have the Magic Key for this palace. Because of this, the palace has locked doors and NO in-palace keys. Because of THIS, I have to use Fairy to get through the doors. I was attempting to coordinate killing enemies [Every 6th enemy of either "small" or "large" type will give you either extra experience or magic] such that large enemy #6 would be in a strategic location and I'd have a chance at a magic jar, meaning I could go farther in the palace without having to sacrifice a life. I evidently can't count). This won't make up the difference all by itself, but it's a start.

So yeah. The 1-1-1 record is a little more manageable (I believe it's 1 hour, 12 minutes and something seconds), but I'm so used to the "New Game +" route that to go back now would screw me up.

Ah, now I understand.

The Fairy trick's great but you really need to memorize enemy placement and that... Ouch. (Thankfully large enemies = red magic jars but it's still brutal, especially if you accidentally kill that one Bot.)

Yeah, Acmlm wanted to fix it earlier but didn't have access to do so. I think he just got access now. Nice.

My title's decided un-festiveness only stands out further in the happy-happiness of the Christmas scheme.

ALSO: YES. I just watched a video run of the "first" quest of Zelda II, and realized there's a point where I can shave off a good half-minute in the fifth Palace. This, combined with fighting optimization and better counting (I'm wondering if for some reason blue Ironknuckles don't count toward "large" enemies), should put me close to my target time.

Good luck on your record Emptyeye. If you keep at it it shouldn't be TOO hard, knowing the quality of the things at TG

I'm still laughing at how unhappy my title looks in the Christmas scheme. Yeah, he looks unhappy anyway, but it's highlighted when you use the Christmas scheme. Maybe I'll try putting a Santa hat on him.

ALSO: *Looks at random FAQ on GameFAQs to see if he can find out about Blue Ironknuckles. Doesn't, but decides to continue reading anyway*

Wow. I'm a fucking idiot. There's another huge chunk of time gone. Okay, this should be within my grasp now.

I should try that out.

But... That would require me turning off Kafuka...

I guess I won't then =/

I decided to switch to the Christmas scheme earlier today. Not bad, now that I'm used to it.

ADDITIONALLY: 63 seconds. 63 freaking seconds. That's a minute. And 3 seconds. Minimizing stupid mistakes should allow me to make that up. If not, I believe I have two more options here. If I utilize both and somehow manage to pull it off, the time should be close to unbeatable.

Well, but it works quite good at the same time when there is just one admin.

And honestly, we need to throw of some staff too. Need refreshment and... more engaged people.

Thought, still... my thread in Brain teasers hadn't been renamed in some time now. That's all complaints I have for now.

...which game? Zelda II right in that palace? o.o

Heh, good job I say. I yet have to do a speedrun, thought I have seen a few good ones. Such as Acmlm's speed run in NES Monopoly.
