Pokemon BD/SP - Faster Cynthia Skip
updated
I'm running Amy in Sonic 1 at PAX in a couple weeks, so figured it's time to actually start learning her. Surprised to see how little she's been played by people given she's new, she's actually got some really neat stuff in some of the later levels.
Anyway, nice 18 here.

The fault at the start is to better align the cycles. Also, this stage features the very rare useful Knux insta-shield! (an ability Knux only has in Competition Mode, to get back aerial mobility. Otherwise exclusive to Sonic)
For reference, my Sonic PB is 19"46, and my Tails PB is 16"84.

Knux is sadly not the best for any stage in Time Attack - he has the middle speed and acceleration so he doesn't win out of either type of level. On speed stages like this one he does come second though, beats Tails quite comfortably. This run was very good though, would've taken any 16 and ended up smashing it once I got all triple loops.
For comparison, my Sonic time is 16"11, and my Tails time is 17"85.

But instead, I actually got a super solid run insanely quickly. Without question better than my N64 PB, this run probably comparable to roughly a 2:01 on N64. Pretty crazy how quickly this happened!

Wasn't actually as much of a pain as I thought it'd be, got the pattern after a clean stage pretty quickly. Very happy with this.

Tldr implications - this route is much more difficult to execute, but saves roughly 10-15 seconds if it comes together, and assuming it gets Raikou 0, has a higher chance of beating Red too.

Along with that, most importantly is getting the 10K bonus from the signpost. Doing this requires hitting the signpost at a *really* specific speed that is pretty slow, but not inching slow. Getting that and still a 19 on this route is definitely the hard part, but I got it so this is comfortably a new record.

I'm running this category at ASM (Which is July 12 - 16th), so I'll be running Fire Red for the next couple of weeks or so in prep, so definitely might get some more improvement. But sub 4 was my goal, so any more improvement is just a bonus from here.

The timesave is more often than not a fair bit less than this, because the majority of the time you have to wait for at least 1 of the passes, even if you are successful in passing.

And for categories that aren't just Any% Glitchless, other factors can be more influential than this (For example, Bell Tower has a very fast Max Revive pickup. But Whirl Islands has a faster Rare Candy - but is only the 6th fastest in a run.)

So I had to match it. It should go without saying, but there is very little leeway to get the 10 here. The stage is very easy, but the optimisation required means you need to be near perfect on each action to squeeze it home.

Still a couple of 98% turns, so we aren't there yet, but it's becoming very common place that any improvement is by a single frame. Enjoy pushing the limits by being smarter, though.

This run started pretty well, but the mid-late game was honestly very mid (Fang-1, Bean-1 and Sonic were all below par) until Metal, then I just pulled out my best ever Metal fight. Had runs over 10 seconds better than this that I choked at Metal, so I know I'm more than capable of pushing this lower, but once again I find it more fun to push back so I'll settle with this for now.

Not at all saying they didn't make a profit (they obv did), but they left a huge amount of money on the table with their shit.
