Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB! The record is now 27:12 by Quincely, but I did beat what the record was when I started this grind again a few months ago. This was a very good run throughout, but I got a difficult Spider pattern on The Devil and couldn't close out a good fight with it. Still very motivated!

Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB, again! This time, to get it was a mediocre pace into the The Devil that ended up getting one of the best RNG patterns. Happy with my consistency lately!

Another small Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB! This one was once again ahead of the current WR entering The Devil, but got bad RNG once again. Still, I am feeling very good about the rate at which I've been getting good runs going and I feel like what I do have control over has been going pretty well lately :)

New Cuphead Any% 1.1+ PB! This was 6 seconds ahead of the current WR of 27:16 entering the final boss, but really bad Spider RNG lost a ton of time. Still, I've had a ton of good attempts lately and getting this PB on top of that feels really motivating.

Summoning Salt just released a 1h+ documentary on Cuphead's Any% 1.1+ World Record Progression. Yours truly features in this, and it makes me very happy to see these stories being told from a game and community that are very near and dear to me. - www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUW6...

After about 200 hours of work over the course of a little over a month, the First Ever Cuphead TAS is finished! I think it turned out great and the project taught me a lot of optimizations that I'm already trying to bring over to my Real Time runs :) - youtu.be/YYuafcehOSE

PB'd in Cuphead Any% 1.1+ again! I am now the second person to ever get a 27:2x.
I am working on a full-game TAS that I am probably going to spend some time trying to finish now, but I am hoping to continue bringing my time down after that :)

Got a new PB in Cuphead Any% 1.1 for the first time since last november! I've been feeling very motivated to run this game again now so hopefully there's more PBs to come :)

I have made a video covering RNG Manipulations in Speedruns: little bit of general RNG theory, then showcasing a few concrete examples of how some games are able to be manipped. I spent quite a lot of time working on this one, hope you enjoy! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtNy...

UPDATE: @creep.io and @sbdwolf.bsky.social found a way to execute arbitrary code in SMB2J without the need for a cart swap.

Got a 5:09 in Gimmick! Any% :) Very very happy with this run, happy to have brought the category this far!

Improved the Gimmick! WR by a few more seconds! This was on pace for 5:0x, but I unfortunately lost a ton of time to Wiz3 (final boss). My goal is not 5:0x, but I'll try to improve this a little more. I'm probably almost done with this category :)

I got the WR in Gimmick! Any%! This is the first record to include the new and difficult Level 1 Skip that was found a few months ago. It... also includes an 11-second time loss in Level 3 coming from a silly death :)

I made a "Human Theory TAS" for Gimmick! Any%, which I'm planning on running soon. This beats the current WR by nearly 40 seconds. Figuring out how to optimally throw every single star was very difficult, but I'll be able to translate a lot of what I've learned to my RTA runs! - youtu.be/sofHz4z0L7Q

A secret No*-Checkpoint mode was just discovered in Gimmick! 2! There is a hidden switch in the difficulty select screen under the water. Pressing this switch will remove every checkpoint *with the exception of warp points. Credits to negative_seven for the discovery, this was undocumented prior!.

Well, this kind of time came... much more quickly than I expected. This is 2nd place on the boards, and only 2 seconds behind the current WR. This comes after about a week of dropping several sub-28 paces.
Very, very good run for my standards, but we can do better still :)

Hi, I don't expect to be super active here but I will start making some posts here occasionally :) Today I got my first Sub-28 in Cuphead Any% v1.1 (4th place), which over the years became the game's most popular and main category. I am going to be working towards the WR (27:33 atm)!
