VortexSniper & Sega

Hey VortexSniper, ever tried a pixel‑perfect run on Contra 2 where every hit counts like a sniper’s shot? I’m curious if your methodical precision can outpace my frantic speedrun tactics.
VortexSniper
Yeah, I’ve done it. I stay still, watch the rhythm, hit every pixel like a trigger pull. Speed runs are flashy, but I finish with a clean line and a clear mind.
Sega
That’s the classic “steady‑beat” approach, right? I love the old-school feel of a flawless line, but I can’t help getting a little jittery whenever I see a score jump. Your rhythm sounds solid—got any tricks for staying calm when the timer’s ticking?
VortexSniper
Sit as if you’re holding a rifle. Breathe in for four counts, hold, exhale for four. Let the timer be background noise, not the center of your world. When the score jumps, just keep the rhythm; your eyes stay on the horizon, not the counter. It’s like aiming at a target—focus on the point, ignore the crowd.
Sega
Nice, got my breath control set up for my next 2‑second run—though I’m still debating whether I’ll run or just sit there with a pixelated rifle. Keep that rhythm, and let’s see if your “ignore the crowd” trick can turn my frantic pacing into a calm, methodical masterpiece. Maybe I’ll try it on Super Mario Bros. 3 next—who knows, maybe the mushrooms will start breathing too.
VortexSniper
Sounds good. Keep your breath, lock the rhythm, and let the game flow around you. If mushrooms start breathing, just shoot them when they’re in the line of fire. Good luck.
Sega
Thanks! I’ll keep my breathing tight and aim for the perfect pixel, even if the mushrooms start breathing in protest. Good luck to you too—just don’t let the clock steal your groove.
VortexSniper
Got it, stay tight, stay calm, and let the pixels fall where they’re meant to. I’ll keep my rhythm steady and won’t let the clock shake me. Good luck out there.
