@Kilroy I have done many accidental somersaults, still do from time to time.
As for the complaints you pretty much covered them all I'd think however none of them are deal breakers for me just "nice to have" I'd love for there to have been multiplayer as Star Fox is perfect for having dogfights.
The game at heart is an arcade style score chasing game. The fact that there are collectibles that let me try a 100% speedrun is a bonus.
@Yorumi Interactive cutscenes. Although the game on the main screen and therefore on stream goes into a cutscene / phase transition, on the game pad you are still in full control of the arwing so you are not sitting waiting on cutscenes in the traditional sense.
All in all I'd say you are not playing for about 20min. Including all end of mission cutscenes, world map transitions and the credits. The ingame timer is weird like that.
@VanillaLake Thanks, the game could have been better but for what it is it's not that bad. I feel reviewers were a tad to harsh on it but then I am a little bias
@OorWullie I started going for serious attempts at 100% about 3 weeks ago doing a no reset (~3.5 hours a night) run each night on stream. I did a lot of theroy crafting and planning off stream and from there the time went down to what I've got it at now.
There might still be more things waiting to be discovered as the game is still relatively new so new runners might find other techniques that I've missed.
This was a nice surprise, didn't expect an article about the run.
It's an interesting and fun game to speedrun and I encourage everyone to come and give it a try. I promise you will get used to the controls.
I'm currently in the process of writing up a guide of my route which will be available to everyone. Also if people have questions you can find me here or send me a tweet (jkargick) or a message on twitch.
