This was my first serious run of any stage in Splosion Man. It turns out the sequence break I found, even with a somewhat conservative version of the infinite wall climb like I did here, saves about 3 seconds over any other method of doing that section of the stage (and also happens to be a little bit easier when playing for speed). Part of this might be due to the cutscene that happens when the scientist closes the door.
Just from the naked eye, this run could be somewhere around 5 seconds faster with tighter execution (handling some of the switch-doors better, infinite climbing faster, etc.), and perhaps a bit more if I'm missing something. This is just a run to show off the route/techniques for the stage. The only other stage I took a few attempts at today was 1-6, so I might have a vid of that up over the weekend along with any other stages I take a crack at.

The guest commentator is UltraJMan. The run was completed on 9/23/2010 and was recently accepted to SDA to obsolete my old XBLA record of 32:57. A higher quality download will be available from the site after the upload process. For now, enjoy the run on here!
I mention reading the text comments for the run in this video, but you are unable to do that yet. So... just ignore that comment lol.")
