GG Torsinn and Eric on the new records! 😊

For Revolution, I take it SpeedRay practice for Stone and Fire wasn't enough? 😂

I must say after Whale Bay my hope was not really there anymore to achive this goal but then I locked in for the upcoming Levels and even with a save tomb and not really good rng i managed to clutch it at the end. So even if its still improvable by a bit, considering everything it was a crazy run.

Payman wrote:Had a very strong beginning, with good movement and even getting 1st try Foutch Skip. However, I had some bad Hub World movement to Water and Ice and bad level execution of that said level. Stone and Fire, was a cool highlight with the execution along with the PMS to the level. Sadly my end game was garbage: failed pirate gauntlet skip, had a bad Iron Mountains, got 2nd try Razortrigger, and failed Final Boss Cutscene Skip due to trust issues.

End game was kinda meh, Chenille Skip was slow since I couldn't remember what angle to hold for a better success rate for the clip and didn't get Final Boss Cutscene Skip.
