NGS Hard KR

[vmd50]

Ouch. Is that only in NGS hard mode?

[Alhazard]

Same for NGB i got in trouble because i took my time on chp 3 and 7

[Alhazard]

I am going to clarify that for both normal and hard modes in both games, you have to clear them faster than the sum of the chapter time limits. I don't think this is a problem in VH and MN. Definitely redoing chp 15 argh.

When I was doing my NGB Hard KR, I would frequently check my time. About halfway through the level, I would to a trial run. Go to a fight and leave when the time limit was done and keep going until I finished he level and see what time I got. It was also good practice.

[Alhazard]

Well I did beat chp 15 by 8 minutes faster tonight. Avoided all the life of the gods and scarabs, completed the stadium challenge faster, and beat the staircase challenge without smoke bombs so I don't have to backtrack to the underwater shop. Although I also saved the manhole fiend soldier fight for the next chapter, I am sure I can beat chp 16 in 36min, which should set me for the rest of the game.

Don't you love the time restriction in Hard mode?

[Alhazard]

[reim0027]

LOL. I remember the feeling.

[Alhazard]

Uploaded chp 14 videos. Wow I hate the AA fight. Can't think of a consistent way to get a knockdown.

[Alhazard]

Yeah got 4 UTs on the AA fight

Now how to make the time limit in chp 17. It is still 13min like NGB but it also has the 3 berserker fights in the beginning of the chapter that is not in NGB

[reim0027]

Cool. I'll watch it later.

[reim0027]

Nice Nicchae and Ishtaros fight. It must have been so annoying to do.

[Alhazard]

uploaded chp 15 and 16.

[reim0027]

Looking forward to watching them.

[Alhazard]

Finished chp 17 and met it's insane time limit. BTW I am now going to be streaming in the mornings roughly around 6-9am PST due to a shift change.

[Alhazard]

I fnished chp 18 but not happy about the score at all. Trying the Marbus Marathon again for some improvement, but this version is super annoying. Hydracubus fight can troll you because you can pickup essence when blocking after the fight if you do anything but block so you have to hold T, but if there are multiple blue orbs out and you absorb only one, thats a run ender. The marbus fight is the annoying of them all especially since you only have 75 seconds so blehhhh.

[Alhazard]

Yeah I am not going to try the MM again. Someone else can get the 30-40K i missed in this chapter.

[Alhazard]

Run over. I think I will practice speedrunning NGB NM. Was thinking of trying Hard on NGB but Icelord, who has the top score in NGB MN, just started one, and I can't imagine I can even come close to what his score will be from what I seen so far.

Do you happen to know if he's recording that run? There's not many runs out there for Hard in NGB and it would be great to watch.

[reim0027]

When can we expect the videos?

[Alhazard]

JTB: I will make a new thread

Reim: maybe next week.

[Alhazard]
