periwinkle | (2'15"9) Cave Story (freeware) Hell speedrun (Spur/Blade) @periwinkle. | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Personal best as of 2022/04/05.
This run was done on the freeware version; the equivalent time in Cave Story+ (which runs at 60 FPS instead of 50) would be 1'53"3.
The last time I sat down to try to improve my fastest Hell time was almost 2½ years ago (youtu.be/IsifYhofFZk), so I figured I'd take some time to set a new PB. I wasn't comfortable with Snake strats, so I decided to go with my good ol' trusty Spur for these runs. Here's the result of that effort!
To my knowledge, this is the fastest recorded freeware time (as of this writing) that uses the Spur instead of the more-optimal Snake. The previous fastest Spur time (that I know of) is PPU's 2'19"6 from 2013: nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20332815 .
I'm starting to learn Snake strats now so let's see if I can eventually beat the WR of 2'13"8 (nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21443486). :)
