Oh boy it's been a while!

This video shows my current personal best and current world record time in Peach's Fury, a ROMHack made by Kaze Emanuar. I believe the time saved was largely through the use of faster strats. I think my execution was better in some places but it's tough to compare overall as both me and Keldon naturally made errors in different places.

To answer a very obvious question: Many platforms were grey because I was using the wrong emulator graphics plugin. I was using LINK's GlideN and didn't bother changing to Jabo because it often freezes up, and I didn't want to risk that happening in the middle of a run.

This hack is really fun to play and its speedrun is very nice as well. The hardest part of the run for me is the Chuckyas early on, as it's very difficult to grab & throw one without being grabbed by another before you're done. My execution of at section in this attempt was pretty bad and is definitely something I'm going to try and improve in the future.

Regarding the many, many changes Kaze has made to the game engine, the vast majority of them are certainly for the better. Having the game run at 60fps is pretty crazy, and the changes made to the movement all feel really smooth, making the game a little more forgiving in casual play and giving plenty of opportunities for different movement in speedruns. I do find that I have a couple of issues sometimes though:

• The cloud powerup has a habit of activating when I really don't want it to, especially when jumping from steep slopes. I slidekick off the tower at 4:30 rather than jumping for this exact reason.
• Sometimes the camera can randomly start spinning, and require mashing the opposite direction to stop it. I think this depends on how long you hold the direction for, and it's quite annoying, though it didn't happen in this run.
• Related to this, the camera can randomly move way up high or way down low. I think this is the same phenomenon but with vertical camera movement, and as it's slow to correct I ended up just unbinding the C^ and C-down buttons to stop it happening.
• I'm not sure what this is about and it isn't an issue, but sometimes when I press B to dive I seem to end up kicking. Not a problem, I just don't understand it lol

Overall though, I really love this hack, and its combination of skill-based platforming and nicely designed treasure-hunting, and I'm hyped to see what Kaze can do with this engine in his larger projects!

This run was quite a long time in the making, after StarrlightSims set an impressive 7'48"93 early on, I decided to make that time my goal, but before I could get there, Keldon came in with a huge time-cut! I set this as my new goal and incorporated their routing improvements, and after some grinding, I eventually got my time down enough to take the record!

I'm definitely going to try and improve this run in future. I can still take a good few seconds from it with the current route. I may stream some attempts at some point, and if so, I'll definitely tweet about it before I do!

Apologies for the lack of videos in recent times, I've been more than a little too distracted by Minecraft-related shenanigans and I haven't really found anything to upload. I do have a big project I've been asked to encode though... but you'll have to wait & see ;) Hopefully you won't have to wait another 8 months for another Davo upload lol

PS hate to get political but Slava Ukraini, and screw those committing atrocities against them. There's not a lot we can do atm but not falling victim to propaganda aimed at dismissing or minimising the significance of the atrocities is an important step for all of us.
