Recorded on February 23rd, 2024. Played on a 1-Chip Super Famicom, with an original SFC controller (with a very loose d-pad for good Plasma). A sizeable improvement to my previous time of 1-19-29, which I got back in 2019.
This run was the final product of a 3 month long endeavor I dubbed "Winter of KSS", in which I tried to improve my 100% PB by as much as possible in 3 months. Playing off-and-on from the start of December 2023 until the end of February 2024, I was able to achieve this time. In the end, I'm very happy with the final product, and will probably go for a 1:11 in April! If I manage to succeed, I'll consider doing post-commentary on that run.
Running this game is probably the most fun I've had speedrunning since Super Marisa World back in 2022, and I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys SNES speedruns. In terms of how the run itself went - I'd say Spring Breeze & Dynablade were about average, Great Cave Offensive was extremely good (a subgame PB by about 15 seconds), and the 2nd half of the run was alright, but left a bit to be desired.
Special thanks to Nippo (the creator of the practice hack) for allowing me to get so good in a relatively small amount of time. Big thanks to wamimidx & Yotta, whose tapes I studied thoroughly for strategy ideas. Additional thanks to KSS oldbois usedpizza, Darko, 0xwas, Countdown, and theJUICE who all provided assistance in some way.
Thanks for watching! In the future, I'd like to fix my input display to hopefully no longer give false inputs.
