SM64 co-op Star Road 20 star in 13:41 Zethor 2025-08-20 | this run was so good until it fucking wasn't!!
Sonic Adventure 2 - Hidden Base M4 in 1:27.17 Zethor 2025-08-10 | Finally updated this run after my last video-recorded pb from the first week of IL comp I ever did about six years ago!
Sonic Adventure 2 - Pyramid Cave M4 in 01:27.10 Zethor 2025-07-31 | got a 1:28.70 story style that was an m4 pb but my stream crashed mid-attempt so I went to get a regular m4 pb
Metroid Dread - Any% (No Major Glitches) in 1:42:57 Zethor 2025-07-07 | Almost certainly not an actual pb because switch 2 load times are busted, but good to be back to at least a decent level in this game.
CPL S4 W2 - Zephyr Golden Knights vs. OKC Thundurus Zethor 2025-05-02 | It's time for the once a season match vs. Seahawks once again
SM74EE: Overworld 2 - Lake of the Lords (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-30 | Stars:Reds - 0:00Star 3 - 9:31Star 1 - 13:21Star 2 - 14:12Star 4 - 15:54Star 5 - 17:03Really slow stars but I fucked up my back somehow today and am not feeling 100% there so I didn't really focus on retaking for some nicer looking stars. Mostly just some filler until the next course proper.
SM74EE: Course 4 - System of a Downtown (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-28 | Stars:Star 1 - 0:00Star 2 - 0:47Star 3 - 1:11Star 5 - 1:42Star 6 - 1:57Reds - 2:15Hundo - 4:09Really fun level! Nothing here took too terribly long, though for my own sanity I decided not to pair hundo and reds for this one. The hundo on this one is very satisfying though, lots of interesting and varied movement.
SM74EE: Wing Cap - Devils Pit (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-28 | Stars:Star 1 - 0:00Star 2 - 0:16Reds - 1:34Extremely easy, other than a couple tricky reds and some invisible walls causing problems.
SM74EE: Bowsers Beautiful Backyard (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-28 | Star 1 - 0:02Star 2 - 0:33Star 3 - 0:54Reds - 1:45Bowser Fight - 7:10A nice breezy level after the last one. Star 3 was offensively slow so I redid it for the video.
SM74EE: Course 3 - Deepred Depths (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-28 | Stars:Star 1 - 0:00Star 2 - 0:30Star 3 - 1:16Star 4 - 1:43Star 6 - 2:29Reds/Hundo - 3:07Reds were a massive spike in difficulty from the three courses I've already done. It took me five hours and many chokes (like this one almost was) but it's done. Supposedly things ease up for a bit here, looking forward to that lol.
SM74EE: Metal Cap - Toxic Terrace (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-27 | Stars:Star 1 - 0:28Star 2 - 0:47Star 3 - 1:11Star 4 - 1:23Star 5 - 1:44Reds - 2:14Pretty easy! Star 5 took a few minutes and reds took about an hour because I was trying to overcomplicate things for myself. Figured I should knock this out now before tackling course 3.
SM74EE: Course 2 - Virusvine Veranda (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-27 | Stars:Star 5 - 0:00Star 4 - 0:33Star 1 - 1:07Star 3 - 2:48Star 2 - 3:28Reds/Hundo - 4:05A level full of practical freebies and a reds/hundo that took me an hour and a half. That red coin on the lower ledge, the one in space, and the blue coins are kind of a pain here, but once I got all of those the rest wasn't too hard on paper, I just kept choking. Nearly sent myself off the level after grabbing the hundo too, that was fun.
SM74EE: Course 1 - Devils Dice (Savestateless) Zethor 2025-04-27 | Stars:Star 1 - 0:00Star 2 - 0:33Star 3 - 2:22Star 4 - 3:55Star 6 - 4:25Reds/Hundo - 5:07Going to try chipping away at this hack over time. Movement and understanding of the stars is not great but it got the job done, none of these stars took more than a few minutes which kind of surprised me. I've done about 30 stars in this hack before but never touched reds/hundos because I figured all of them were above my paygrade, but this one was fairly easy.Also had to redo hundo and reds because I accidentally hit the fast forward button on my controller during the attempt. Shame because the initial successful attempt was a lot better, but this one was probably funnier the way I panicked with one health near the end.
CPL SEASON 4 WEEK 1 - Zephyr Golden Knights vs. Denmark Dondozos Zethor 2025-04-19 | yep it's a zethor vs tails week!
Final Chase M3 Speedrun in 1:58.02 Zethor 2025-04-07 | Wanted a sub-2 and I got it finally. When I come back to this IL next, it'll be for swan.
Biolizard in 57.49 Zethor 2025-03-20 | still losing about a second and a half at least. Pretty solid though.

I'd link it here but youtube has decided I'm unworthy to post external links. Sorry!CORRECTIONS:-I mention the alternate strat for Shadow 2 gets mid-15s, it can actually get 14s and is only about .4 seconds slower than the tasbounce strat. This makes the choice whether to run no lightdash with tasbounce vs running lightdash with the alternate strat a much more competitive one, as they optimally break about even with each other in boss rush. Watch the link in the description if you're interested in learning it instead. If there's demand for that strat over tasbounces I may make an addendum in the future going over that method instead.MUSIC:Phantasy Star Online Episode III: Morgue Part 1Phantasy Star Online Episode III: Mortis FonsPhantasy Star Online Episode III: Via TubusPhantasy Star Online Episode III: DeckPhantasy Star Online Episode II: Tricktrack Part 1Phantasy Star Online Episode III: Tower of CaelumPhantasy Star Online Blue Burst: Underworld Equilibrium

[WR] Sonic Adventure 2 - Single Segment Boss Rush (Hero) in 2:31.66 Zethor 2025-03-03 | 6/6 boss rush records down. This one's not by much, but that's because this was probably the most competitive record of the six, so I'm very proud of this.Might come back some time for the sub. This is good for now.
[WR] Sonic Adventure 2 - Single Segment Boss Rush (All) in 7:57.70 Zethor 2025-03-03 | Pretty good! Really weird timeloss in tails 2 and egg golem is egg golem, but overall pretty solid.
