Go watch my current record here: 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. I'm 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 didn't feel like talking because of how tired I was. Hope you enjoy the run anyway!

This is a run from early December that I had sitting around on my hard drive. I havent worked on the category lately, so I figured Id upload the best run I have so far. This category only came into existence so I could do something a little different for the game at SGDQ 2011, and I pretty much have routed the whole thing myself since then. This is a category that has been raced pretty often on SRL, so at least it has some competition going through there.
Update: this run focused on the in-game timer instead of real time and had an in-game time of 36:09. By this point, that in-game time has since been beaten in real time lol. So yea this run is pretty outdated.")
