A very small step towards the SUB 2:30 goal… but a new World Record nonetheless!
In case you missed it, my previous run had been beaten by Shenmue runner “Thatsmekarl” with a 2:33.30, a 0.40 faster run! That should tell you how difficult it’s become to save time now. In any case, Karl’s run gave me the motivation I needed to come back to my quest to get past the 2:30 wall!
This record literally came out of nowhere. I was tired, sleepy, and with zero hope of getting a good time after bleeding seconds left and right through the run. I reach Pedro with only 12 seconds left on the clock and then... a miracle happens! No spoilers, watch the video to find out!
As a bonus, I’ve also included another run that looked promising and would have likely been in the 2:20 range if Pedro and RNGod didnt do everything to ruin it… I guess this is the reason were still struggling to reach 2:30 even though the run only takes a couple of minutes from start to finish.
For those interested in learning more about the run, Ive written a more extensive pastebin document on my thoughts on each segment.

On a side note, you might notice Ryo looks more detailed compared to my previous runs on Dreamcast. Some time ago, I went ahead and modded the game to use the most detailed Ryo model I could find that wasn’t the infamous Passport model. I did this just out of curiosity, as I assumed the Dreamcast couldn’t handle it because otherwise AM2 would have never created a low poly variant of Ryo’s model.
Well, what do you know? It works perfectly fine! Maybe it’s because I’m running the game on an emulator, but it’s still surprising to see the game has no trouble using the high poly model in the 70 Man Battle. I wonder what was stopping AM2 from using it…
The strange thing is, the HD remaster does replace the low poly model, but still doesn’t use this one, but a less detailed variant of it. I wonder why. Why did no one take advantage of this “HD” model? I don’t get it. It looks as clean as Ryo’s main model, but also includes the fully modeled hands… in 1999. Just wow.
Thanks for watching!
If you have any doubts or curiosities you’d like me to clarify, feel free to ask away in the comments section. See you next time!
