Galaxy Speedruns
« on: April 05, 2014, 09:44:35 AM »
Figured this would be the most convenient way for me to hear from the other guys and also share what I know. Thanks zuzu for getting me into running the game and showing me all them strats! Game is so much fun :D

I threw together a quick kill video for the Sky Planet Boss and Kamek. I was initially going to just record Sky, but thought it might be good to show Kamek to the people who haven't seen it.



Do you guys have better strats for the Sky Boss? I only had Zurai's old PB vod to look at and tweaked the approach used in there.

Sweet apparently there are a few active Japanese runners right now, too. Is someone able to translate their set of rules?

They use turbo but not to a full limit.

You see, i played Galaxy and i know how Turbo works, once you get the gun (Which is literally the first thing you get in the game) then you have the option on using turbo or not, it's not a cheat or an exploit, it is a thing you can actually do and you have access to it all through out the game.

Yep turbo's built into the regular gun in Galaxy so that's fair game. I guess they might use turbo for all weapons, though. I need that translation.

EDIT*
What I gathered is they run both turbo and non-turbo categories. I was just confused as to whether or not no turbo meant no in-game turbo, so I talked to the dude with the 32:40, れいせん (Reisen), on Twitter: www.twitter.com/raysen9

A有B有 = turbo on all A and B equips
A無B無 = no turbo, but in-game turbo IS allowed

Still want a full translation of all their rules. Someone told me they could get ahold of family who's fluent in Japanese tomorrow.

pretty simple rules. as you said turbo on both weapons is allowed. the timer starts when you select the savefile and ends when you switch into the credits transition. the rest of the "rules" on that page you posted are basically for nico breaodcasts and mention how you handle pausing the timer and start it again during the "streamresets" after 30minutes on nico

Ah right I should have figured they did their end timing like that. I've been doing the final split when I touch the star. I'm down to switch it up and compete with their no-turbo times, though.

Haha wow shit there are some amazing strats in there! Sky Planet is insane. Unfortunately don't think that Sky Boss strat is going to work out with no turbo since he can instantly stick all 5 bombs to that wall, but there's a lot of new stuff to work on and incorporate.

EDIT*
Got my time down to a 38:10 with the new strats. I imagine sub-37 won't be too hard to reach.

Sum of best is at a 35:32 now.
