#starwars #speedrunKingdom Hearts: Final Mix [PS2] | Any% Beginner Speedrun in 4:59:55 (World Record)Saiyanz2022-04-27 | Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix is a Japanese exclusive release which expanded on the original game with tons of new content. I was able to reach my desired target of Sub 5 which has been a goal of mine for a few years now, although I am still proud of this time I believe I could push it lower hitting somewhere around 4:58/57. For now I will move on and seek to improve this later down the track if it feels necessary.

Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/elsaiyanz Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/SAlYANZThe Grinch | 100% Speedrun in 1:57:14 (World Record)Saiyanz2022-01-01 | Since my last upload Jumpyluff discovered a route in the cave area of Who Forest III which allows us to skip the slow crawl along the wall saving 30s, some route optimizations were also made to Who Lake III saving another 30s too. This run is pretty mediocre but I want to hurry and acquire 6/6 and then return to this and improve the time down.
The objective of this speedrun is: - To complete every mission - Collect and assemble every gadget - Collect every sleigh part - Destroy 3000 Gifts
The heart piece upgrades do not count in the games completion counter so it is not required.
After struggling with runs over the last week I was finally able to acquire the WR with an offline run (this is why facecam & microphone are off).
The run went very smoothly with some areas to definitely improve on mainly: Who Dump II & Who Forest IV.
Now with this WR acquired I now have 5/6 WRs on the Grinch Speedrunning leaderboard, I will now focus on acquiring WR on the PSX port and then possibly return for Sub 1:40 on this port!

This port does have its downsides as well being an unstable port which can crash commonly.
Run Description ________________________ Early Game was great Mid Game was mostly good with slight errors End Game was probably the weakest point in the run with some bigger errors showing towards the end of the run
I feel certain I could get at least a mid 1:51 but for now I will take a break from PC and try out PS4/5 before starting work on the WR History Video

The objective is to complete the game as fast as possible and the main hurdle lies with End of World being locked away until the 2nd Hollow Bastion visit is complete, this means the main items/abilities required is:
- Azal vol. 3 or Kharma vol.8 - Theon vol.6 - Red Trinity - Fire Spell - High Jump & Glide
Of course other items may be required to find the spell or item your looking for in a specific world but I won't go into that
This run was solid since I fixed the Hook Ship RNG from my previous run, however still missed out on potential timesave, will be back at some point for sub 4:43 im sure.

The version I am playing here however is the original HD re-release of the 2003 Final Mix Game which released in March of 2014 for the Playstation 3. This version incldues quality of life changes such as cutscene skips, analog camera controls & other small details.
I use the Japanese version for the run due to the text speed being 1 minute faster than the English Version, however roughly equals out to 20-30s faster due to an exclusive clip which exists in the English Port.
This run is the peak in my 7 year speedrun career, this was the game that started my whole speedrun journey and to finish the journey at the top means the world to me, I owe so much to this game and I am honoured to represent as one of the games best.
The run was very unique for my playstyle, I am known for flying ahead of most runners in the first 2/3 of the game and then falling behind in the final act. However this run played out differently I played okay for the most part but was most proud of how much I clutched Final Fights (which is a rare thing for me to do).
To quickly detail the run Early Game: Overall amazing but could techincally improve it by 10s Mid Game: Very rough in places, had a horrible Agrabah but a perfect Neverland End Game: Hollow Bastion 1 was horrible due to poor execution on Riku 1 & a dropped input on Maleficent, everything else after that was solid
I believe this game can definitely be pushed down to a 2:42 and might consider going for that goal in the future but for now I will focus my attention on the PC release & PS4 Port.

With that knowledge in mind I truly believe this is one of the most smooth and gorgeous looking games from the PS1 era with my only complaint being the ice-like movement.
The run is pretty standard just an efficient playthrough with 1 main glitch at Cove which allows us to skip Fire & Ice Trials.

In terms of tricks there is only 2 Out of Bound tricks (Vendetta & Ring of Steel) however where the difficulty lies is how well you can prevent dying whilst trying to efficiently run through the levels. When first running this game I believed this would be one of the easiest games I would ever grind however it proved to be one of my most difficult in my 7 years of doing this hobby. The run is definitely improvable and I may return in the future to go for sub 1:13, until then enjoy this run and support the community.

I was also follow botted midway through and had to email twitch support which cost alot of time. The next run I do will be with a route in place and plenty of practice. -- Watch live at twitch.tv/salyanzThe Grinch | Any% (PC) Speedrun in 34:06 (World Record)Saiyanz2020-01-05 | What a start to the decade for me..
This run is mostly incredible with minimal errors and unfortunate egg rng early on which costed me going for the ice wall shot in Who Forest II which would have made sub 34 probable. I really want sub 34 so I may go for it but for now I will move onto All Gadgets and try to take back my old 2 WR's. -- Watch live at twitch.tv/salyanzThe Grinch | Any% Speedrun in 38:56 (World Record)Saiyanz2019-12-30 | I honestly did not expect to get this sort of run when I did. It is really difficult to put into words how I feel about it but I can certainly say that the sub 40 felt like more of a triumph moment.
The run up to Who Dump was incredible with minimal errors
During Who Dump I did make a mistake in the second area where I missed x2 Nitro Egg shots which required me to move max onto a Nitro egg which took me 2 attempts due to my stupidity. The rest of Who Dump however went quite well with me getting 1/2 cutscene skips at the pipes, the cs skip I failed costs around 25s if done correctly. EDSP was close to perfect with only having to readjust the block once (which I find common).
South Shore went really well with good movement and a perfect OCD skip. The Who Lake split however was one of my worse, failing the Van Jump twice and not getting a perfect Fence jump costed me up to 10+ seconds.
Sleigh Parts went normal with a slight optimization trick missed in Whoville costing around 5ish seconds and comparing to a perfect Marine Mobile segment I lost around 2s.
Santa was SUPER sketchy due to my nevers but all in all this run is still something to be proud of, being able to achieve the first sub 40 and sub 39 means an awful lot to me, I love this game will pursue grinding it further. I just may take a break and improve my other times first. -- Watch live at twitch.tv/salyanzThe Grinch | Any% Speedrun in 39:34 (Former World Record)Saiyanz2019-12-16 | - Bad Egg RNG - Mediocre Who Dump - Horrible Sleigh Parts - Everything else was good

I have calculated there are a few minor seconds of optimization to count for up til the end however the only real timeloss in this run is 14 seconds to a perfect Chicken Wings which is completely RNG. {Open For More}

I am proud of the short work I made with this game finding optimization in cycles/patterns as well as optimizing the movement and incorporating new strats I found in a few areas. I may try to improve this time to near perfection but for now I felt it was good enough to upload and submit since this may be the run I close out on.
