The switch snipes aren't too bad, except for the last one. And either the green lum or the camera screws me over and over in EC3. I'm really glad that sub 3:20 has been achieved!

Very bad timing at the end, therefore the RTA is inaccurate. By the way, is Spikevegeta's song to Glackum's run on Spotify?



*Mod note: You don't have to put RTA for ILs if you're not sure/don't want to, it's not relevant anyway. No idea for the song but I don't think so lol*

Guess what was not to optimal this IL? The movement yes! You can also collect the first and last switch a little bit faster but with that the IL starts to get bs so no thank you.

Seems good. A little bit slopy at the end. Also i feel like you can do the orb part faster for sure but over al its good for the moment.

So compared to my method it seems for the 10 Lums at the end of precipice 3 your losing 13s. If you can kill the miniboss any faster the lums might be worth it to skip. But like this, there not i guess. IL had some slopy movement otherwise but i honestly dont care.

I guess the second cutscene at the start counts towards the IL since there is no loading screen afterwards. For the run: Okay i guess. Roll boost Foutch wasnt the greatest but not too bad.

Finally got a (long overdue) PB with the (not so) new Kapoueh skip. Unfortunately missed some lums, which forced me to lose time getting backups, and got a bit unlucky on the final boss, ez 58 soon hopefully.

[Hunchman801]

Congrats Torc! Glad to see that the kapoueh skip was kinder to you than during SpeeDons.

[Greengoop]

2nd place is very good, considering how much competition you have!

Nice improvement to my No Lumcheck times with the power of Precipice skip! I might be done with this category for now.

[hoodlumsworld]

Lots of new ILs, have there been changes to the leaderboard structure or what?

Still wish they had IL speedruns in legends…

Yes indeed, it's mostly for the new NMG IL leaderboards (in the category extensions page)

Bad time because I was playing very safe and I didn't go for orb skip in Stone & Fire even though it's technically allowed. First damageless glitchless run anyway!

Thanks for the confirmation, it makes sense!

And GG on completing the first damageless glitchless run as well.
