Next-Level & ZeroLag
I was just mapping out the fastest speedrun route for that new title, and I think we can shave off a couple of seconds—care to see if your tactics can keep up?
Yeah, drop the map here and let’s see if your “few seconds” actually add up. Don’t get too fancy; speed is all about the grind, not the flash.
Okay, here’s the stripped‑down run‑through:
Start at the spawn, hit the first jump to the left platform, skip the idle chat on the signpost, head straight into the enemy cluster and finish it fast—just one hit if you time the knockback.
From there sprint to the next checkpoint, avoid the side path that spawns the extra guard, keep moving.
At the boss gate, use the parry window right before the boss’s main attack; it cuts the combo in half.
Finish by grabbing the time‑boost item and immediately run the final sprint to the exit. That’s it—no fluff, just the core loop.
Nice map, but a few tweaks could shave another second. Skipping the signpost chat is solid, but if you can chain the first jump with a quick dash, you avoid that tiny idle tick. Also, that side path guard is a dead weight—cut it if you can. For the boss gate, hit the parry a bit earlier; the window’s razor thin and any delay throws you off the rhythm. Finally, time‑boost item: pick it right when the boss’s animation cycle hits the slow part, not at the end. Run it, see if the tweak helps. Let's do a test run and compare.
Right, let’s lock it down: dash right after the first jump—no idle at all, lock the guard off, parry a fraction earlier, grab the boost at the boss’s wind‑down. I’ll run it now, get the raw time, and we’ll see if those micro‑ticks actually add up. Keep an eye on the replay; we’re hunting every centisecond.
Sounds tight, no room for slack. Hit that dash like a knife, lock the guard off, nudge the parry a hair earlier, and snag the boost at the wind‑down. Record the run, review the replay, and see if the seconds stack. I’ll call the shots when you hit the final sprint—if it’s a fraction off, we’re still talking. Let's get it.
