Any% segmented run (goal of sub-1 hour)

[Runnerguy2489]

Yeah, I backflip off from where the bombflower is and just backwalk to beat the boulder. I think when I tested a superslide there the slope right off the bat is too steep, and by the time you'd get off that slope then it's not really worth it, plus the boulder would be in the way a lot of the time I think.

I'm going to try streaming this again today. I tested it Wednesday and it seemed like the quality was at least watchable.

It's not actually practice but I'm too lazy to change the name. I'll be recording segment 5.

I'm going to start in a few minutes, try and play for an hour or so (2 PM - 3 PM EST) and then maybe again from 6 PM - 8PM EST. If I get a successful segment I'll keep going and try segment 6 since it's easy.

segment 9 will be hell

[Runnerguy2489]

I think segment 7 is going to be the worst.

I completed segment 5 tonight but I don't know if I want to move on or try and improve it. The Dampe race was 49 and I want to get at least a 48 and even 47 is possible. Plus AKA and Acryte were teaming up to make the exit to hyrule field faster, so I'm not sure.

Maybe I'll upload it and see what kind of reaction it gets?

You'll just get the youtube suck-ups saying "omg awesome".  Set it to private so only we can see it and we'll judge.

[Lexkeeta]

if you have even a stitch of doubt, you should redo or you might regret it.

Besides, when you ease up on your criteria, you typically are more likely to allow worse upcoming segments.

imo

I improved it today by about half a second. Still a 49 on the Dampe race, but I just can't see me going much faster. Apart from maybe a half a second lose getting into the hylian shield grave, the segment is smooth.

Also, from what I found out yesterday...the segment 5 that had been done when I was streaming had lagged behind a bit on the RECORDING part several times during the segment. So for the future I'm probably not going to stream since it's not worth the risk of losing a great segment just from it jumping or lagging.

I'm going to put this one up on youtube and move on.

What is this i don't even-

[Lexkeeta]

I'm sure you already tested this, but would it be faster to combine segments 3 and 4?

oh and i think found a little timesaver in ganon's castle for this run. I'll upload a vid tomorrow so you can see.

I'm sure you already tested this, but would it be faster to combine segments 3 and 4?

It is alot slower to combine. We would have to listen to either Kaepora of go down ZD, through ZR, then to castle.

[Runnerguy2489]

Yeah, it has been tested to be slower. Looking forward to the trick in Ganon's Castle though.

I updated the route again and added the segments in that I have now completed.

I'm actually not as bad as I thought as I was at the backwalk superslides, and I've figured out a good strategy for the first one from Hyrule to Lost Woods. The sloped hill levels out and there is about 3 backwalk steps that are level on it. I've got it timed so that that is where I roll into the bomb. It costs about a second since I wait a little bit to actually pull out the bomb, but it has seriously improved my success from next to nothing to about 1/3 on that trick already.

[Lexkeeta]

nevermind, it definately wouldn't save time, due to an oversight on my part >_>

[Runnerguy2489]

Hey guys,

If you are bored and want to try something out for me, check out this video.

Basically, I'm trying to get a position and angle where I can just sidehop and then mash the hookshot button, and end up right on the edge of the post and be able to get to the other side.

As you can see I got very close for the red dot to appear, but it's just not quite enough. I've tried adjusting my position a little and still couldn't find a spot, but it seems likely that it's possible. This would make this segment a lot easier, so even if it takes a few seconds like this did to align and get in the position, it's definitely worth it.

This is 2 segments away, so it won't apply for a while, but I figured I'd post it now if anyone wanted to try it.

what was the timesaver in ganon's castle?

[icebreaker007]

hmm, seems like the closest i can get is to latch on to the bridge but fall off using your method

Edit: hold on, it might actually work..

Edit2: Ok, i seemed to have made it using your method. It only shows from the hookshot aiming at the wall to the bridge skip
