Finally, one of my speedruns made it to Speed Demos Archive!
First of all I want to thank the Gaming-Elite Team and DerekT21288, for their support, atwyatt for his strategies I have taken over, mikwuyma for running it, nate for finish the video file for SDA and you for watching this speedrun.
Okay, let's talk about the run.
As you can see, I used the Wii edition to perform this speedrun. The advantage of the faster loading times does not mean that this run has got worse quality than Greg Innes speedrun which was performed on the Nintendo Gamecube. I used the 3.2E Version of the Nintendo Wii firmware. Note, that other firmwares influence the loading times.
The first two minutes were nothing special, the only things that can intimidate you are the minigun of J.J. which can be used in hand-to-hand combat and the archer at the top of the stairs who can shoot an arrow earlier.
After I got the first sample it was important that I left the laboratory very fast because of the ganados who can block the passage and damage you. But sometimes they are blocking the passage even if you try to leave the room fast. That is why you have to hope that you can finish this room quickly without trouble.
The next place where you can be unlucky is the path that leads to the trasharea. Sometimes the enemy behind the Shieldganado screams alarm and sometimes he does not, it is important to have a bit luck there.
I got the same problem at the room where the guy pressed the button to shut the door, he attacks you way ealier sometimes. That was one of the most frustrating moments in my speedrun.
The cell where Ashley was captured in the story mode is easy if done correctly. You have to throw the grenade a little bit to the right to kill the enemies, otherwise you will lose time here, that is all.
The next room was the hell itself. This room is pure luck, sometimes one guy survives the explosion and makes you fail and sometimes one guy comes from behind way too early and grabs or attacks. Unfortunately I had to accept a compromise and fake out the guy with the spiked mace. Sometimes you are able to pass him without damage but I am not that patient. One ganado came from behind and tried to attack me but somehow I was able to avoid his grab, that was rary the case in my attempts. J.J. went fine, I tried to shoot as fast as possible with my SAR and get out of the room. I ran risks and fortunately for me it worked just fine.
Krauser was not as difficult as in the GCN version because of the knife which is usable in the Wii edition. I modified Derek Taylors Krauser strategy and waited at the elevator because Krauser is much faster than Ada, you can save some seconds if you let Krauser bring the sample to you.
I am satisfied with the result and I hope you are fine with it too and enjoyed this speedrun.
