Grondious | Cuphead | Former World Record Chef Saltbaker in 53s! [Lobber/Spread/Chalice] @Grondious | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Featuring the Saltimate Jutsu! (Last phase skip)
This time really caught me off-guard because while it was good I was expecting more like a 54/55 but looking back now it really was a pretty nuts fight so I could see this time standing for a long time potentially at least with this loadout which for now is the only loadout this last phase skip has been done on.

I finally achieved my goal in this game of beating the Expert difficulty TAS [Tool-assisted speedrun] in real-time!
The expert difficulty gives you less HP so you lose time to not damage boosting as much, so while its not a fair comparison to the easy difficulty me and so far all real-time runners have ran on, performing the fastest ever speedrun of this game even including the TAS become a cool goal to strive towards and it definitely had me push this speedrun a lot further than I would have.
Check out the TAS here as well if youre interested, I learned so much from it and its a great showcase of the game on Expert difficulty - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V4uhh7gZBs
For people who havent seen this game before, its a bit of a silly jank game from the SNES that I played and enjoyed as a kid. I revisited it to speedrun it and found out that its actually a very fun speedrun with tons of optimizations and interesting tech to move Dirk through the stages as quick as possible, using your health as a massively useful resource to damage boost and skip large portions of levels. Sometimes even damage boosting off your own windmill shuriken, because yes it boomerangs back and hits you lol.
I hope you all enjoy this run that I somehow got on exactly my 1,000th attempt!
