Mirrors Edge - Chapter 4 (2:27.36) World Record Req 2022-12-28 | I did this back in September. My only speedrun of 2022.@succostacos invented the beamer chain at the start. HUGE credit to him for that!This is probably the first time Chapter 4 has been pushed hard by anybody. A lotttttttttt of resets at the strang chain. Made a couple small mistakes and excluded a big strat that saves over 1 second, but didn't want to grind it again. 2:24.xx would be a perfect run.I have no plans for 2023. The only reason I got pulled into doing this run was because I got the medge itch after editing Tacos' strat montage + I had some spare time.Song: Bonobo - The Keeper (Alex Banks Remix)
Mirrors Edge - Office (7.17) World Record Req 2022-12-28 | This is an old run from June 2021 before I left. I got it while taking short breaks from the Atrium Two grind last year and then forgot to upload it.7.0x should be possible for someone crazy enough to grind for it.
Mirrors Edge - Prologue TAS (00:54.30) Req 2022-12-27 | Merry Christmas!I worked on this intermittently for the last few months in my spare time. It is one demo from start to finish; no splices. Huge credit to @succostacos for inventing the first chain and also for theorising lots more ideas! He also helped to get that final strang to pop in the last chain as I struggled to get it.Why the slow climb over the rail? You can't speedvault it without a run-up into the beamer. It wasn't worth setting up. The slow climb isn't as slow as it looks ;)Also why the standstill before the camera beamer? It seems like unnecessary time loss, but it was very necessary as I had to line up the exact coordinates and exact velocity with another demo that had already achieved the chain. The inputs of this other demo were then copy/pasted into the main demo.As for me, life is better without the game. The past 18 months have been enlightening as I've been able to focus on other things. This little TAS project was a minor commitment I could withstand if worked on in small bursts.I hope you are all well and enjoying the holidays. I have another package that will drop into your sub feed tomorrow, so keep an eye out. After that, there are no plans. Back to retirement.
Mirrors Edge - Atrium Two (32.99) World Record + Goodbye Req 2021-07-04 | This game has been a big part of my life for the last 8 years. It has taken so much valuable time away from me, especially during big projects like Hype Strats and the chapter wr unhoard. Many times it stopped being a hobby and became a full time job. I need to move on with my life and I want to thank the mirror's edge speedrunning community for being awesome and the viewers for watching and commenting over the years. This game still has plenty of potential and there are--and will be--runners to get the job done.I planned to retire from the game when the chapter wr unhoard was finished in March. However, I hung around for a while longer and got the idea to run any% one last time before leaving (since 2018 I regretted not getting a 27:xx, which shouldn't have been too hard). I started streaming any% for a couple weeks and got 27:46, excluding strats to play it safe and making huge mistakes. It was 5 seconds behind wr. I decided to keep doing runs for the wr. I should have been able to get a 27 flat or even a 26:xx. But it wasn't long before I lost motivation. I had achieved the 27 I wanted and the wr was unnecessary. It was unimportant. I've had the any% wr 14 times in the past, so it isn't anything new to me. I stopped doing runs and my any% journey was over.But I couldn't just fade away like that. I had to go out with a bang and I looked for the most insane time trial run I could possibly do. A wr with two frame perfect input tricks? I'm in. The first kick in the chain determines the entire chain. A spacebar kickglitch + a perfect angle. You have no idea how hard it is. I had to throw myself at the wall hundreds of times and hope the stars would align. I also decided to exclude a 0.5s double kickglitch strat due to it being extremely annoying and decreasing the number of runs that reached the big chain. At the time of getting this run (1st July) the official wr was 35.02 by bastounm33. Getting wr on this trial by over 2 seconds felt incredible.I'm happy to have done it all. Battling with floubz, zubmit, walrus, and phillotrax in any%; battling with Isyfly, phillo, lambo, basto, and voetiem in chapters and time trials; making strat montages with glost, lambo, stoggervlazar, blumage, heki, and bbgn; working on the segmented run with the whole community; and, of course, making good friends along the way.This is goodbye. I have "retired" from the game a couple times before, but this time I am confident I will not be returning.Song: Cole's Memories - Pyramid
Mirrors Edge - Reflex Redux (26.32) World Record Req 2021-05-17 | I was going to do the tas strat at the start (sliding wallclimb sidestep to the 2nd checkpoint) to get a 25.9x, but I didn't want to grind too much. This took a couple hours.Song: Soulkeys - Hyrule (Navarro & Caballero Remix)
Mirrors Edge - Edge (32.35) World Record Req 2021-04-19 | Close to perfect but not quite. Could be about 0.2s faster with the vault hop at max speed + a boost on the right side of the satellite dish at 0:26 (lining yourself up before that boost is extremely precise though).Song: Niko Schwind feat. Lil Magdalene - Over the Trees (Oliver Koletzki Remix)
Mirrors Edge - Office (7.53) World Record Req 2021-03-27 | My last Office run was just to meme on the bbgn and voe competition. I didn't care for the record. However, tonight I was bored and decided to jump back in and give it everything. The 7.64 took about 20 minutes. The 7.53 took about an hour.
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 1 TAS (1:55.87) Req 2021-03-25 | A few people wanted to see a chapter TAS. Here is the only one I will ever do. This took several weeks to make and took several years off my lifespan.
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 9 (1:46.19) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 8 October 2020)The journey to getting this run has traumatised me. I lost two WR runs to the end, the second one being 1-3 frames early:youtube.com/watch?v=xHBTTwKEzc4youtube.com/watch?v=xh8ltk_kNOsHappy I lost them though because it allowed me to get sharper at chapter 9 and pull off an even better run.Song: Kid Francescoli - Moon
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 8 (2:29.32) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 6 November 2020)I was too low to coil the top of the infinite wallclimb unfortunately and also lost a second inside the vents. Still an ok run.Song: Kiasmos - Looped
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 7 (1:59.23) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 26 October 2020)In 2011 D4rkw15h got the first sub 3. In 2020 I got the first sub 2 :)Song: Holy Holy - Flight
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 6 (1:47.93) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 23 September 2020)A very good run. I got so sick of resetting 6A. There is one more strat that could be added to chapter 6 but it is such a nightmare run already that I don't want to think about it.Song: Suulo vs. Curl - Tapana's Kitchen
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 5 (3:23.56) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 3 March 2021)I left this chapter til last because I was so afraid of it. I was so tempted to exclude it from the hoard but nulaft encouraged me to go for it. I thought it would take 1-2 months to even get WR. It took just over a week, most of which was practice.I started recording warm up runs with no intention of finishing them, but when I got the 5b chain in this run I decided to get serious and try to finish it.Missed the kg wallboost before the first door, losing half a second, and movement in 5a was jank (because I thought this wasn't going to be a real run lol).Song: Bob Moses - All I WantInspiration to use this song (the coolest chapter WR of all time): youtube.com/watch?v=tV4yiVvac6Y
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 4 (2:32.82) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 4 October 2020)An ok run. I messed up the jump off the train and landed before the rail instead of on it, losing a second. Oh well. This run will probably be beaten quickly.Song: Sebastian Weikum - Midnight Train
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 3 (2:25.61) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 2 October 2020)Not perfect. A couple minor mistakes. 2:23.xx seems doable.The 3C chain saves 2 seconds ;)Song: Sascha Funke - Mango
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 2 (3:51.29) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 23 February 2021)I spent a looooooong time on this chapter. Spent the first week practicing and comparing strats to calculate the fastest time possible, then I discovered the swing skip in stormdrains and had to delay the runs until I was proficient with that. After that I spent 2-3 weeks doing runs. When this perfect run happened, I broke down. I can't even describe what I felt.Song: The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony (Amonita & Makebo Remix)
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 1 (2:37.20) World Record Req 2021-03-07 | (Achieved on 22 January 2021)Not a perfect run but very close. Had two minor mistakes.My fastest time to the elevator is 25.35 - youtube.com/watch?v=72Mj9TvUQCgI also had a WR-pace run die to the very end that I simply could not believe - youtube.com/watch?v=nVz_v0bcC8sSong: Soul Capsule - Lady Science (NYC Sunrise)
[Teaser] Project Icarus Req 2021-03-06 | (Watch in 1440p for best quality)Hey everyone, I have been working on something big since September last year. Can't wait for it to drop tomorrow. This has been done in other speedrun communities but not the Mirror's Edge speedrun community. I hope you enjoy the teaser :)
Mirrors Edge - Prologue (1:18.91) World Record Req 2020-09-16 | First ever sub 1m 20s. An epic milestone.Though this run doesn't feel very special for two reasons. 1: It's not as clean as the previous record. 2: I removed one of the previously done strats to make this run easier.Also, the double kickglitch into the springboard (1:14) is easy with scroll wheel and reaction time. Just delay the wallrun. No spacebar kickglitch needed.Might go for a 1:15.xx eventually.Song: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag - Main Theme EDM Remix by RGS
Mirrors Edge - Cranes One (48.37) World Record Req 2020-08-09 | WR by 0.63Rest in peace, LamboGD :PSong: Closed Paradise - Trippin' On Sunshine
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 1 (2:39.64) World Record Req 2020-07-21 | I didn't want to upload this. Lost 4-5 seconds. Would have preferred a 2:35.xx final time.Arland was jank. I skipped doing the fast door kick because of a bad landing on the garden bed and opted to just barge it and lose time. My fastest elevator time is 25.64.
Mirrors Edge TAS - Stormdrains One (43.93) Req 2020-06-19 | The last TAS I do. I'm returning to real speedruns.
Mirrors Edge Montage: HYPE STRATS X Req 2020-01-11 | The last ever Hype Strats, featuring myself, LamboGD, Stoggervlazar, and Glost999.Huge chains and kickglitching around corners.

Mirrors Edge TAS - Kinetic (32.02) Req 2019-11-10 | This was a nightmare to make. I milked it for every frame and the hardest boost angles to save as much time as possible.Unfortunately the strang ending was a frame from hitting the checkpoint. If it worked, it would have saved 1.5 seconds :(
Mirrors Edge TAS - Reflex Redux (24.32) Req 2019-11-04 | Learned that you can hit a wall perpendicular as you land and still get a strang. Some sub-frame shit going on there.
Mirrors Edge Montage: HYPE STRATS 5 Req 2018-12-11 | The first chain was originally TreXbo's idea, so credit to him for that. Huge thanks to keku for making an animation mod that, unfortunately, didn't make the final cut; it would've made for a cool cinematic but it just didn't work well with the other cinematics.And thanks to SwissQwertz. The huge chain in Chroma was his idea.Also the vent bounce glitch had already been found in 2009 by a few people but they had not been fully explored and put to good use until now :D
Mirrors Edge - Kinetic (34.96) World Record Req 2018-11-18 | The boost to swing is a sneak peek of Hype Strats 5 (coming in December) :D
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 4 (2:33.69) World Record Req 2018-08-30 | A 2:29 should be possible but I don't have the time to grind for it.Also, the chapter 5 world record was blocked because the music policy changed. An unblocked version of it can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=hOMxtDgTcAg
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 2 (4:05.35) World Record Req 2018-06-24 | This was a 3 week soul-crushing grind. I am finished with the game for a while.Song: Phaxe & Morten Granau - "Yellow". Huge shout outs to SwissQwertz for helping find suitable music and recommending Morten Granau, and also for buying the song for me! A very generous act that I can't thank enough.
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 5 (3:36.76) World Record Req 2018-06-04 | Finally tied Isyfly for most chapter wrs all-time :,)Music: Teardrop - Massive Attack
Mirrors Edge - Atrium One (34.37) World Record Req 2018-04-06 | I did not enjoy this. The double wallboost, Lambo's wallclimb-sidestep strat, and the spacebar double kg made this a very torturous run to get.Music: DVBBS - Pyramids (Fatho Remix)
Mirrors Edge - New Eden (35.13) World Record Req 2018-03-28 | Had some spare time and decided to grind this last night. Wasn't expecting to actually pull this off so quickly since the super springboard was only like 1/20 consistent, and the chain after the ziplines is a total bitch - not the double kickglitches, but rather dismounting the zipline at super speed and getting the first kick to not lose speed. It took about 2 hours practicing the super springboard and then 2 hours of attempts.Feels good to get this; the previous world record from August 2015 was 37.19 and had absolutely dreadful movement. It was embarrassing.Song: Dannic & Sick Individuals - Blueprint
Mirrors Edge - Chapter 1 (3:28.46) World Record [Xbox 360] Req 2018-03-18 | WR for Xbox 360. Sorry about the quality - only have my laptop webcam to record.
Mirrors Edge - Chase (39.85) World Record Req 2018-02-16 | I was doing all of adrenelize's strats going for that hardcore 39 time before BluMage found the beamer. When that happened, not all of adren's strats had to be done to get a 39, so I stopped doing the reverse angle kg onto the fence.I got a bad wallboost after the first zipline and lost 0.3 sec, and a bad turn jump elsewhere lost about 0.2 sec. Another 1.1 lost for not doing the kg onto fence strat. A perfect run with all strats could possibly be a very low 38.xxShoutouts to Twiggy, TigerJames, Zerocool, and PresidentFreeman (and a few other people) for sticking around the stream during all the restarts.
Mirrors Edge - Stormdrains 2 (31.66) World Record Req 2018-02-12 | I originally used glost's vault bunnyhop chain to get the WR with a 33.93, then a 33.90, and then 33.66. I was going to upload that but wondered if this trial could be pushed even harder and decided to look at the feasibility of a faster KG chain from the first checkpoint. Turns out, the chain is pretty easy. The hard part is lining yourself up before the first kick. The rest of the run was a piece of cake.I was expecting to get a 32.xx at best but as the restarts continued and continued and continued I became better in areas and managed to scrape off more time and a 31.xx eventually looked achievable.Missed a wallboost before the first chain and lost about .25 sec, so a 31.4x should be possible with these strats.
