This is a teaser video for an upcoming major Touhou piano transcription project, as well as an announcement for some changes I am making to my Patreon tier benefits.
Early access to piano transcriptions will now become available to all tiered patrons, starting at $3.00 a month (down from the $6.00 tier for the same access)! This will not affect the rate at which I currently make transcriptions.
In exchange, Music Note Bullet patrons ($6.00) will now also receive access to WIP posts of whatever I happen to be working on at the time. These will be posted irregularly, whenever I make major progress on a transcription.
All other patron benefits will remain unchanged.
I also have a patron goal for additional benefits! If I reach 5 patrons, I will open up voting benefits to the Music Note Bullet ($6.00) and Glowing Orb Bullet ($10.00) tiers. In these polls, the former tier will have one vote, and the latter will have two votes, to influence which projects I work on next.

This is an Any% All Levels speedrun of Skylanders Giants (the Wii game played on the WiiU), performed on Easy mode in 1 hour, 44 minutes, and 07 seconds. As of this recording, it is the current World Record run.
My ROBO-KAOS split is still messed up from the last run, and I forgot to fix that.
I wonder what went wrong during the Oracle...")

So here is my first music piece to be posted on Youtube. Because I dont have all of these fancy programs that people usually use to present things like this, and Im stuck with AVS Video Editor (probably not up to date), this video is audio only. Sorry about that.
I actually made this quite recently, but I want to post older stuff in the future.
World Yamataizer is one of my favorite themes from the Touhou fangame Riverbed Soul Saver. I just had to make this when I learned how to arrange it digitally.

Arrangement: Gizmo The Dragon")

Update 2020: This run is now only valid for Any% because the rules for this category, now named All Levels Original Trio, have changed to adhere to the All Story Levels category rules.
This is an Any% Original Trio speedrun of Skylanders Giants (the Wii game played on the WiiU), performed on Easy mode in 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 40 seconds. As of this recording, it is the current World Record run due to no other runs of this category existing before it.
I forgot to apply the Luck-o-Tron wheel that I spent quite some time getting! Dangit!
This is a rather bland category. Not very many skips can be used here, but the gate-jumping Stealth Elf skips fortunately work with Tree Rex as well, saving several minutes.

This is an Any% NG+ speedrun of the sixth Chapter of Skylanders: Giants for Wii (played on WiiU), Secret Vault of Secrets, on Hard mode, with an in-game time of 9 minutes and 8 seconds, which is a new world record as of this recording. (EDIT 2019: Due to the introduction of IL timing subcategories for IGT and RTA, this run is no longer the IGT World Record run, but it is still the World Record run in terms of Real Time (RTA).)
Not much effort here, I just wanted to set the bar. Its one of my least favorite Chapters to speedrun so far because of these long autoscrolling sections. At least Autogyro Adventure has those speed boosts.
I used Zap at that gate-opening section for a pretty detailed reason. You see, when you tell Flameslinger to shoot an arrow, he automatically stores the angle to the nearest enemy in his general direction before he fires the arrow. Aiming towards enemies takes greater priority over aiming towards those gate eyes, so Flameslinger will fire at the enemies instead, which wastes time; this is all the same with his Flame Volley, which is difficult to set up during the first gate section and I luckily got in quick time in this run. Zap, on the other hand, does not automatically aim like Flameslinger does; he simply fires lightning bolts directly out in front of him. Combined with his speed, he made the cut for an alternative long-ranged speedy Skylander.")

This is an Any% All Levels speedrun of Skylanders Giants (the Wii game played on the WiiU), performed on Easy mode in 1 hour, 39 minutes, and 39 seconds. As of this recording, it is the current second place run.
Eye Brawl enters the meta! A newly discovered glitch forces Eye Brawl to warp directly up to the highest inhabitable ground when his body falls into the void. This can be exploited to skip the final block puzzles and the last enemy battle in Rumbletown, saving around 30 seconds!
I stopped the timer a little early, but I added the missing seconds to the final time.
I think I have what it takes to reclaim the WR!")
