Blaster Master in 04:15.22

Run details

  • Takes damage to save time
  • Contains major skip glitch
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Manipulates luck

Comments

  • This run is 511 frames (or 10.22 seconds) faster than current [1410M|published] run by andymac. Mainly thanks to a new route in Area 2 and a new trick that allows Jason to survive a fall from couple tiles, which reduces the amount of pauses needed for him to survive high falls.
  • RNG in European version is very hard to manipulate. I'm not sure how it changes, but I think I got lucky with some health drops, as they are now very necessary to manage where to use the falling trick, as Jason only has 8 HP, with 2 HP lost in Area 1, and we need at least 7 HP to optimally use that trick.
  • The start of Area 3 now is a bit laggy but still worth the added lag frames, as we are now cutting out couple pauses there.
  • The rest of the run is identical (there is one more and last survived fall before entering Area 8 though).
  • Couple other frames were saved later on.
  • I recommend reading andymac's [2477S|submission] for more information.

Special thanks

  • Goes to biggyboy (COOLKID) for his Any% PAL run, as it shows the new route in Area 2. Note that this category is difficult in RTA so death strat is helpful there, however, it is still slow by around 3 seconds in a TAS setting. Also, I would like to thank him mentioning me the survive falling trick as it was helpful a ton here.
  • And you, for watching and reading my comments! :D

''Enjoy wall sinking!''
