Niftski | Any% TAS Tie to 8-2... but in Second Quest @Niftski | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
On the 6th attempt of the traditional 9 attempts after my Second Quest WR of 4:54.914, on the first try to 4-2, and without having any expectations at all, I was able to pull off this run! The fact that this run was in Second Quest and happened so fast and felt so unreal gave me little to no nerves for the entirety of the run. Doing these 9 mid 4:54 attempts in Second Quest was supposed to be a joke in the first place, but unfortunately I ended up having to purposely throw away the run to prevent it from getting any further.
Many people were annoyed or confused by this decision, but I can promise that this is for the better for various reasons. 1. The run wouldn't have even been eligible for verification under the Any% leaderboard since it was in Second Quest. 2. I did not want to beat Any% WR in a category extension category that many people don't really care about in the first place and get clowned for it in the process. 3. If I actually did end up fluking this and finishing the run, it would be pretty bad for my mentality going into actual mid 4:54 Any% WR attempts because of how fast I got it without properly trying. 4. This would put the Any% WR progression in a very awkward position, and it's best to just not have to deal with any of that. 5. My Lightning 4-2 + World 8 consistencies are nearly at their prime states right now, and since I'm doing mid 4:54 Any% WR attempts very soon, I have no doubt that I'll make it right back to 8-2 (without being in Second Quest) in no time!
