Batman: Return of the Joker (NES) - WR Speedrun in 13:40

Gravado Mar 10th 11pm em SRKfunkdoc 15:51 309

Finally managed to beat the Youtube run by close to a second! I'm a terrible masher in general so I didn't think I could pull this off. Even now there are still ~20 seconds to be saved but I'm not the player to do that!

Mostly the same as the previous WR, just with decent Sandman luck. Funny that Glass Joe was what kept me from sub-2:35...

Finally got a good deathless run on arguably the hardest NES game! Only ~16 seconds off my theoretical best time, which is excellent given how random and full of BS this game is.

Gravado Mar 3rd 6pm em SRKfunkdoc 5:06 112

The previous best time I could find on the Internet (also in-game time) was 3:29 so I am pretty happy with this! Lost arguably 1 second to execution (still not sure how damage works on phase 2 Pizza Pasta), the rest was all Sandman luck.

After my toughest competition ever in speedrunning, here is my end result. Huge thanks to dxtr (http://www.twitch.tv/dxtrslab) for pushing the game to this point, and everyone who found new strats! Sub-10:20 is possible with perfect execution and even better luck than I got in this run, but because of all the luck you can't realistically optimize this game to Ninja Gaiden levels.

OK, I feel much better about this time than last night's! Had gotten that 20:55 earlier that same night too, so I'm starting to feel good for the race now. Just need to grind some specifics more... FYI: Not submitting this to SDA because it still has some big mistakes and I want a deathless run for that.

Finally took the record back from Vega4993 (http://www.twitch.tv/vega4993)! This game definitely needs a new SDA run with what we've discovered, and I think sub-21 would be a reasonable goal for that.

Splatterhouse (MAME) - Speedrun in 14:02 (NEW WR)

Gravado Nov 16th 5pm em SRKfunkdoc 14:37 110

Finally! I just wanted to break the record before Hurricane Sandython, so I'm definitely pleased with this. I don't see myself trying to push this any farther since I can't play this game on console; I'll leave it to zallard1 and greenk4 to get the sub-14 for SDA! For future reference, sections where time can be gained over this run: Stage 2 boss (once we figure out strat w/ quick kill on chair), Stage 3 boss, Stage 4 boss, Stage 5 chair room + necromancer + boss, and Stage 6 boss.

Gravado Nov 16th 4am em SRKfunkdoc 15:53 64

New personal best for me, ~2 seconds behind zallard1's world record! A lot of improvement is still possible on the majority of the bosses in this run, so a time around 13:55 or so is definitely possible.
