I guess we could just put this into one whole thread since this game didn't get much popularity and I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in running it.

Here's my C Ending Hard mode WR for now done in 28:05:

For those unaware, C ending is pretty much where you play half of the game then just leave the mansion. It's the fastest category but it's harder than it looks, and I was playing on Hard since I like running my games on the hardest difficulties.

Here is an A Ending Normal WR done by katrinonus in 1:08:49:

A ending is the best ending you can get,and it's a full run of the game. This run uses a sequence break too which saves a good few minutes.

Now here is a "Top Breeder" speedrun done by Shin on Hard, segmented in 1:12:26:

Read the description to see all of his restrictions, but despite all of those he still got a really solid time, worth a watch.

I mentioned a sequence breaker in the first post, but wanted to have it in a separate one to avoid clutter as much as possible, so here's a video explaining the HoT sequence breaker:

I just came across this post randomly and I wanted to point out that all of the vidoes in the first post have never been WR (well Kat's was for a week or so)

I've gotten a 27:26 and a 27:36 using 2 different routes for C ending Hard. Both are not very optimized so I never uploaded a video. I have videos for both if you would like me to upload them though. I would think that a 26:xx would be a good run though.

I have a 1:07:15 in NG+ ( ) beating Katrinonus by well over a minute.

I have been running this game for over 6 years and any category anyone has ever made for this game, I have been able to beat within a week of attempts. With the exception of Shin's run. I've never done this game segmented because of how much easier it makes the game since loading a game resets many of the values.

A quick note about Hard vs Normal mode. For NG+ it is actually harder to run the game on Normal. For C ending, it really makes no differences. Because of the way that Mutant Clones act in memory, they don't even show up after Debilitis in a SS hard mode run. Combined with the way that all of the boss fights work, it is actually easier to play the game on Hard for speedrunning. In C ending you use a butt bump to kill one of them, and just ignore the other one completely. So at most you loose 2-5 seconds from Mutant Clones.

I went ahead and took a screen cap of my 27:26 ending just to show you that I'm not talking shit out of my ass.
