Slowly but surely getting a hang of this SMB1 run! 5:2X was the goal for the strats I started out with, and I achieved it with 5:27! Still need to push for consistent 5:1X for Marihour and I will need to upgrade strats for that. Only halfway through October so plenty of time to keep improving!

16 star goal is completed! 16:41 in 16 star. This one felt ambitious to me going into the year, but as we got to SM64 league I realized it was much closer than expected. Super happy to get this done before I start Marihour prep. There’s more to achieve here but that’s for another time :)

Summer league is over, didn’t get a chance for final runs yesterday due to life being hectic but I PB’d 1 and 16 so I’m happy. My team did well! Always a fun time of year.
I will be announcing my next speedrunning project soon, excited but just need some time to prep it. More Mario coming soon :)

Got a small 16 star LBLJ PB last night, with some real 16:XX potential showing itself. Would be really cool to meet that goal during league but I just gotta get consistent. One small mistake completely changes those short category runs.

17:38 in 16 star with no LBLJ! Second category I have PB’d in during league. Would love to trim some more time off this one or get my LBLJ PB lower. Knew this one was out there for me to get though so I’m glad I grabbed some points!

SM64 summer league is underway and I have gotten not one, but two 1 star PBs! I have more to squeeze out of this time, but it’s a great start! 9:55->9:05->8:25

Signups close tomorrow night! Still looking for pairs to sign up if you’re interested, or anyone who hasn’t speedrun before that wants to learn! I have a fair few unpaired prospective coaches so I’d be happy to find a match for a non-community member who wants to learn 🙏
I’m pleased to announce coaches and noobs season 2!! SM64 16 star, single elimin matches. Runners have 4 weeks to learn with their coach before races. Runners should have little or no experience speedrunning. Sign-ups will be open until 11:59pm PDT Saturday, August 16th

It was a small PB, but took some serious focus and golds upstairs to make it happen. This goes to show how much potential I have to shave even more time off. Just in time for summer league 😎

Another All Story Missions PB! Having lots of fun with SHAR, and much closer to sub 1:50 than I realized.

Though it’s not really conflicting with the “sub 1:55” goal, I am updating this to be “work toward 1:49.” Of course sub 1:55 should happen as I work toward 1:49, but wanted to officially set 1:49 as my goal in 120.
16 will happen eventually 🤷♂️ 120 for 1:49 is the mission

First day of the LTA wasn’t too bad! Got a couple runs finished, then in my last reset before overtime I took a run that was red all the way to tippy, golded HMC and TTC, and had a chance at PB and 2nd place in my group. Lost it to throws, but gives me hope for session 2. Having fun 😎
Come watch me get my 70 star LTA on this Saturday afternoon! Highly encourage you to watch the rest of the groups if you can too.

Hit a little follower milestone on Twitch. I don’t really worry about follower numbers, but seeing the 250 made me think about all the cool friends and gaming communities who have come into my life during the past year and change. Here’s to many more :)
