Kick Master First Quest Speedrun in  

Achieved on January 13th, 2021. Played on NES via a Powerpak.
From now on, I'm going to try and do post-commentary on some of my more meaningful speedrun PBs. Hopefully this makes it easier to understand what's going on, rather than having to read a whole bunch of stuff in the description. If you'd like to watch this run with just game audio, check out this link: • Kick Master First Ques...
The gist of it though is:
Defeat enemies to get EXP drops.
Lucky EXP drops means you unlock the sliding kick faster.
The earlier you get the sliding kick, the faster your speedrun is.
This particular run had a very lucky grind and got the sliding kick much earlier than usual. However, execution was bad in every level except for Level 5.
The dive kick (Knee Drop) is OP.
Thanks for watching! Gonna try and be better about uploading local records to RU-vid in 2021 (I hope).
