Sonic Frontiers - No Major Glitches Speedrun - 1:43:00 CriticalCyd 2023-05-28 | No Major Glitches speedrun of Sonic Frontiers on Easy difficulty. Played on XBox Series X. World Record at time of recording.Restream of an offline PB I got. Mods retimed this to barely be a 1:43, but I'm still calling it quits here for a bit as I'm a little burned out on Frontiers. There's some major mistakes still so I wouldn't be surprised if I return to this at some point.List of banned glitches is available in the leaderboard rules:speedrun.com/sonicfrontiers?h=No_Major_Glitches-Console-Normal_EndingAdditional info about the Sonic Frontiers speedrun: pastebin.com/U7fkc7CSWant to see my speedruns live?

World Record at time of recording.Fun category that I did a bunch of re-routing for recently. I like how the routes turned out, though I'm sure there's still some improvements to be found here and there.

Sonic Frontiers - True Ending Speedrun - 1:13:08 CriticalCyd 2023-04-12 | Any% speedrun of Sonic Frontiers on Hard difficulty. Played on XBox Series X. World Record at time of recording. Re-timed to 1:13:08This is a marathon run that I did for Os-a-thon, featuring my buddy Argick on commentary. Really happy with my performance here :)Never actually ran True Ending before this marathon run as it's basically the same as Any% with an added shmup section that I don't want to do unless it raises money for a good cause :PAnyway since basically nobody runs True Ending on console and the boards are seperated between PC and console... this is now the WR I guess!Additional info about the Sonic Frontiers speedrun: pastebin.com/U7fkc7CSFollow Argick here:twitter.com/JKArgicktwitch.tv/ArgickWant to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Frontiers - Any% Speedrun - 1:06:32 CriticalCyd 2023-04-09 | Any% speedrun of Sonic Frontiers on Easy difficulty. Played on XBox Series X.Wew that is a spicy PB. Woulda been a 1:04 on PS5 loads, very happy! Obviously Chaos Island was just kinda jank in general, but every other island I'm happy with (especially Rhea).Gonna give Any% a bit of a break for now and chill out with some No Major Glitches and maybe roll around to Extreme Mode eventually :)Additional info about the Sonic Frontiers speedrun: pastebin.com/U7fkc7CSWant to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Frontiers - Any% Speedrun - 1:08:14 CriticalCyd 2023-03-06 | Any% speedrun of Sonic Frontiers on Easy difficulty. Played on XBox Series X.Proper PB featuring the new 96 coins route and more optimized purple coin pickups.

Quite a milestone honestly, but man do I not feel like stopping whatsoever. Aside from an insanely good Rhea, basically every island has a lot of room for improvement.

Managed to get 2nd place back with this run though so that's neat. First PB with the new Chaos Island route, though in the meantime I've missed strat updates on other islands lol.

Console World Record at time of recording.Took a few days of grinding, but I did it :) console WR despite losing 2 minutes to load times!

Sonic Frontiers - Any% Speedrun - 1:18:19 CriticalCyd 2022-12-25 | Any% speedrun of Sonic Frontiers on Easy difficulty. Played on XBox Series X.Retimed by the mods to barely be a 1:18:19, so I made sure the thumbnail and title reflect it.Merry Christmas :) apparently I felt like absolutely popping off in my christmas stream and get two PBs for a total of 4 minutes of improvement. In the process I managed to beat 4 of the 5 PS5 times on the boards, despite my Series X losing a ton of time to loads. I've since timed out the loads exactly and it's actually even worse than I thought, losing 2 minutes and 9 seconds to loads lmao. Very proud of my improvement and that I managed to get 2nd place despite this disadvantage!I'm aware I'm not being the most graceful about claiming 2nd place, but running at a disadvantage sparked some serious competetiveness in me for some reason lol. I'm expecting the PS5 runners to take me down a peg before too long :) but hey I'm not done with this category myself either!For now, big Series W!Additional info about the Sonic Frontiers speedrun: pastebin.com/U7fkc7CSWant to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Frontiers - Any% Speedrun - 1:53:02 CriticalCyd 2022-11-20 | Any% speedrun of Sonic Frontiers on Easy difficulty. Played on XBox Series X.Very first run I did of the game after combining my own routing ideas with some of other people's ideas. Was fun to prepare for, but others have already put their heads together for a Ouranos island route that's basically better in every way, so my next run will look plenty different there. Also still a lot of first-run jank in here. Hoping to get this to a low 1:3x soon enough :)Want to see my speedruns live? Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/CriticalCydWant to see me shout at stuff?

Sonic Lost World - Sky Road Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2022-05-27 | Speedrun collection of all 4 zones of Sky Road in Sonic Lost WorldReal happy with how this area turned out :) definitely had a more enjoyable time learning it than I did with Silent Forest.SF1 - Fun movement, great music. Played it a bit safe here in some sections, but got the most important stuff.SF2 - The platforming kicked my ass at first, lots of trial and error, but a fun short stage to run for sure. Didn't manage to get remotely consistent at the quick hit strat for the boss, but normal strats are pretty fast too.SF3 - Autoscroller lol. Really just wanted to get one run with a decent boss fight and call it a day and accidentally got 2nd place in the process lmao.SF4 - Not one of my favourites. Vertical stages are rough and the sand sliding gimmick isn't great. Liked it more than I thought I would though, there's some cool strats in here and I love that Rhythm wisp actually has a use lol. Overall quite proud of this run.Want to see my speedruns live? Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/CriticalCydWant to see me shout at stuff?

Sonic Lost World - Silent Forest Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2022-05-17 | Speedrun collection of all 4 zones of Silent Forest in Sonic Lost WorldDefinitely my least favorite set of stages thus far, which is a shame because I love emo zeti. The stage design is kinda awkward to go fast in and that doesn't even include the super finicky speestrats I opted not to do in some of these stages.SF1 - Pretty fun stage, but played things pretty safe Tree skip is bogus and I wouldn't do it in a full game run anyway.SF2 - The obstacle location took forever to memorize, but oddly satisfying to dodge everything when you get it right. Boss fight is utter garbo though. Picked up an extra rhythm wisp, but other than that I'm quite satisfied.SF3 - Barely spent any time on this stage, got the ballerina jump on the capsule and that's all that matters!SF4 - I don't like this stage... says the man who couldn't get himself to stop grinding it. Very tough movement to do so I'm actually really proud I managed to get this time without the grabber glitch. Bad luck on the boss fight though, sad.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Heroes - All A Ranks Speedrun - 8:15:48 CriticalCyd 2022-04-19 | Single Segment speedrun getting all of the A ranks in Sonic Heroes. World Record at time of recording.What they call in the bizz "A big fat PB". Still no proper strats or practice for a large part of this run because I simply lack the free time to properly prepare. Basically just dusted off some old strats over the course of a weekend after the spontaneous decision to do a run and see where that'd get me. Not committing to risky nonsense I haven't practiced also helped to be fair. For now I'm happy with this, but sub 8 some day :)FAQ for this run: http://pastebin.com/AA2RL8CYWant to see my speedruns live? Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/CriticalCydWant to see me shout at stuff?

Apologies for the low mic audio this run, some program messed with my audio levels (despite having the option to allow that disabled grumble grumble).

Sonic Heroes - Team Sonic Egg Fleet LTS Speedrun - 3:49.31 CriticalCyd 2022-03-10 | IL speedrun of Team Sonic's Egg Fleet using LTS restrictions.Good start, great conveyors belts, weird oversensitive light dash and super slow setup for the trick. Goal was sub 3:50 and a relatively smooth run, but this can definitely go down further.Anyway this stage is super sick with LTS strats, but pretty dang hard and reliant on teammates being in the right places. Shoutouts to Revo for the consistent setup to get to the warp. Limited Tech Selection restrictions means I can't use bop boost (but I still beat my bop boost PB anyway so lol)Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Lost World - Frozen Factory Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2022-01-22 | Speedrun collection of all 4 zones of Frozen Factory in Sonic Lost WorldI will dub this world Grind Factory! Seriously I'm amazed how much I ended up grinding every single stage in this world (and hell I could've pushed all of these even further, but I have other stages to learn dammit)FF2 is definitely the least optimized of the collection and I'm a bit unhappy with it, but grinding that stage makes me unhappy so it's fitting :)Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Lost World - Tropical Coast Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2022-01-13 | Speedrun collection of all 4 zones of Tropical Coast in Sonic Lost WorldAfter the first two worlds I thought I had a pretty good grip on this game's movement, but lord was I wrong haha. This game has no business being as technical as it is.TC1's cloud section took me forever to get the hang of, TC3 slaps an entire new playstyle onto things with rails and TC4 is just filled to the brim with little details that make it tough as nails. Happy with the runs I got on all of these, even though they all have obvious points of improvement. TC2 is the only one I barely spent any time on, just wanted to learn the skips and get on with it.Want to see my speedruns live?

The biggest improvements to be had are in the second 2D section. Like sure the first 2D section has a 3D in 2D and all, but the second one is legit the hardest part of the stage to optimize.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Lost World - Desert Ruins Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2022-01-01 | Speedrun collection of all 4 zones of Desert Ruins in Sonic Lost WorldHappy new year folks. What better time for a new vid dan the first day of 2022.Some really cool skips in this set of stages and the movement in DR1 is super sick (I already uploaded that stage solo, but figured I'd re-use the run for this compilation).Anyway DR4 can eat my ass, the whole ass and nothing but the ass. Autoscrollers are bad enough without skips that are performed entirely off screen.Want to see my speedruns live? Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/CriticalCydWant to see me shout at stuff?

Sonic Lost World - Desert Ruins Zone 1 Speedrun - 2:23.80 CriticalCyd 2021-12-26 | Speedrun of Desert Ruins Zone 1 in Sonic Lost WorldI was originally going to post my Lost World runs in compilations per world, but I'm so happy with this one that I wanted to post it solo as well. It'll probably take me a while to learn all the big skips in the rest of the Desert Ruins stages, so it'll be a while before the compilation video.This stage is sick. Favourite thus far, the movement is great (and really damn hard to do cleanly lol). The most important thing to getting this time was to beat the global cycle of the cactus balls in the final area and I barely beat them this time.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Lost World - Windy Hill Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-12-16 | Speedrun collection of all 4 zones of Windy Hill in Sonic Lost WorldSurprise! Finally felt like giving this speedgame a proper shot. Having plenty fun with IL speedruns thus far and if that fun lasts through all the world I'll probably do some full game speedruns too :)While act 4 is the hardest stage thanks to the skip, the run of act 1 actually took the longest to get. This game controls very unlike other 3D Sonics I've ran, so there was a lot to get used to. Then when I finally got a 1:03 I realized I wasn't recording audio and had to get a better 1:03 lmao.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - 100% Speedrun - 2:46:21 CriticalCyd 2021-11-22 | Single Segment 100% speedrun for Sonic Colours: Ultimate. World Record at time of recording.After a lot of routing, I did my first weekend of 100% runs for this game! This was the best run of the weekend. Obviously a lot of room for improvement. Sub 2:30 is a realistic goal, but with 1 mistake potentially requiring you to redo an entire stage, it's a very punishing category. Some of the score routes are very tight too and there's some tough tricks in the category. Very fun though, looking forward to working on this category for a while.100% requirements as dictated by the game's own % counter: 180 Red Rings, 44 S Ranks, 21 Game Land stages and 6 Rival Rush races.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land Speedrun - 17:40.21 [Game Time] CriticalCyd 2021-11-16 | Speedrun of all Game Land stages in Sonic Colours: UltimateMostly did this as prep for 100%, but it's a nice smaller category on its own too! People been wanting a leaderboard for this, so might as well throw a run of my own in the ring.Run is plenty improvable, but for 1 stream worth of runs it ain't too shabby.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 7 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-11-13 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 7 in Sonic Colours: UltimateNot a big fan of this world. 7-1 has a lot of bullshit that can randomly kill you or stop you in your tracks and 7-2 is mostly just autoscroller. Surprisingly, I like 7-3 a lot more than I probably should, the drill segments are pretty yikes, but pulling the stage off well feels really good.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 6 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-11-09 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 6 in Sonic Colours: UltimateSecond favourite Game Land world, only held back by 6-2. The first homing attack seems to just randomly kill you sometimes and hover isn't very interesting. 6-1 and 6-3 are super cool though. Boost management is a lot more pleasant now in 6-1 thanks to sweet spots.Want to see my speedruns live? Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/CriticalCydWant to see me shout at stuff?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 5 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-11-08 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 5 in Sonic Colours: UltimateMy favourite Game Land world. 5-1 was already pretty cool and now Infinite Wall Jump is a lot more lenient in Ultimate, because you grab onto walls significantly faster than in Wii. 5-2 still has great flow and while 5-3 is a spike wisp stage, it's actually quite satisfying to do well.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 4 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-11-07 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 4 in Sonic Colours: UltimateThis world is rough on 60fps ultimate. In 4-1 the balls fall faster, in 4-3 the original laser strat no longer works and 4-2 still exists!Your options for 4-3 are bouncing off the laser (with less consistency since there isn't a max height), then air dash and wall jump OR do what I did in this video and aim your laser through the other gap. The other gap is 1 to 2 seconds slower as you have to backtrack for the laser, but I find it to be a bit more consistent.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 3 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-11-03 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 3 in Sonic Colours: UltimateVery happy to be done with 3-1. Didn't grind for that good a time, stage bores the crap out of me. The other 2 acts are pretty cool though. 3-2's platforming is nice (though getting good cycles is hard) and 3-3 has a pretty good flow.Want to see my speedruns live?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 2 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-11-01 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 2 in Sonic Colours: Ultimate60 fps jump height hurts so muuuuuch lmao. Game Land is just full of tight jumps I can't quite make, 2-1 especially so for this set of stages, but the ending of 2-3 as well. Speaking of, I still love 2-3, very fun stage!Anyways, out of these 3 I'd say my 2-1 is the most improvable by getting an earlier cycle on the spike gap, but since I've never succesfully gotten it I instead opted to go a bit slower and save a sliver of boost for after the spike gap cycle. I'd have to wait anyway with my slow ass lol.Want to see my speedruns live? Follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/CriticalCydWant to see me shout at stuff?

Sonic Colours: Ultimate - Game Land 1 Speedrun Collection CriticalCyd 2021-10-31 | Speedrun collection of all 3 acts in Game Land 1 in Sonic Colours: UltimateGetting back into Game Land for 100% prep :) biggest change from Wii in this set of stages is probably 1-2, the boost from sweet spot homing attacks helps a ton. 1-3 can eat my ass though, already wasn't a fan on Wii and the nerfed jump height in 60fps Ultimate makes the stage even worse.Want to see my speedruns live?
