Cuphead Any% 1.1+ Speedrun in 27:22.78

SBDWolf @sbdwolf.bsky.social · 2d

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!

Cuphead Any% 1.1+ Speedrun in 27:23

SBDWolf @sbdwolf.bsky.social · 4d

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 :)

The History of Cuphead World Records

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 :)

How Speedrunners Control Luck (RNG)

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...

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 :)

Glad you liked the game!

[TAS] Gimmick Any% Theory TAS in 4:47.69

SBDWolf @sbdwolf.bsky.social · Jan 16

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
