[Greengoop]

Rekki? Is that short for record?

After getting sub 2 hours in All Cages, I did some Menezis and surprisingly during one round I felt in the zone even though I thought the round was bad.

Torsinn promised that I could get the first sub 6:30 for Fairy Glade NMG and here it is! Actually it's the second, but I got these PB's almost back to back. If I can finally get a decent FG2 in a PB and don't mess up the roll boost at FG5, sub 6:25 will be very much possible. Oh, and Eric: please don't do branch skip; I'm not ready for it.

This one felt very good, but looking back, I can save almost a second in the first part and the second part was very sloppy. Anyways, pretty solid time!

I actually started liking Tomb. Part 1 was bad at the end plus I don't do switch skip, but for the rest, I'm pretty happy. I know someone will beat this within 24 hours, but I try to enjoy it for as long as I can

[hoodlumsworld]

Anyone care to explain what bayoust is?

[Torcnein]

Anyone care to explain what bayoust is?

It's a pun with damage boost, which is the trick involving getting hit in midair to get extra height (here used to skip the cage and the purple lum in the first map), and the name of the level. Damage boost + Bayou = damage bayoust. Strat names can get pretty creative

Oh yeah, that's the one where you get the pirate to shoot you to cross that gap. Always feels like a very close one!

After this I can forget about gathering lots of cages and lums for a while. If this was any other category I'd grind for sub 2, but not this :p Maybe if there'll be a day I can do Kapoueh skip, I can consider again.
