After some minutes messing around with shortcuts and stuff in Chapter 1, I recorded a dry test run of the stage. When the first beam from the boss is shot, I could've made a jump kick off the bat (I had succeeded in this before) to save time, but I wasn't feeling ballsy enough at the moment. The boss fight was horrible. Times will also surely improve as more glyphs/spells are obtained and stats are raised. This game is a lot of fun, but way more so in co-op. I highly recommend it to anyone with a 360.

Go watch my current record here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dU p6Vyv0
This is the new WR as of 5/21/13, overtaking the previous record by more than 90 seconds and my own personal best by nearly 2 minutes. This is mostly thanks to a few route optimizations with zips, although I think I executed the Dracula fight much better than my previous best. Astarte fight, not so much.
I was up all night and tired before attempting this, what can I say? I mostly just did the run because I was excited about the new route stuff. Im sure the time will drop a lot whenever I feel like doing a more serious round of attempts. Sorry that this is also my first full run in a while not to include commentary; I just didnt feel like talking because of how tired I was. Hope you enjoy the run anyway!")
