This is the first ever sub-14 for this game and the world record as of May 16, 2018! If you want to watch this run with commentary, you can find it here: • [Commentary] Bionic Co...
This is probably the best speedrun I've ever done. Any% is a tremendous pain in the ass because of the luck required to get the trucks to cooperate (in short, there's a 63% chance of losing 36 seconds to truck encounters, and we need that to not happen), but I somehow managed to push through to get this time! Area 9 is the only bad stage in this run, and many of the others are the best I've ever completed them. This run is 7 seconds off of my sum of best splits, many of which are COMPLETELY unreasonable to match. This is a phenomenal time and I am hopefully never going to return to this category on this version.
This run is the result of nearly 5 years of constant work, and I couldn't be more proud. Over those 5 years, I have only not had the record for a single day (shoutouts to Paku!). I am finally ready to move on and work on other games for the time being.

This is an absolutely incredible run. It shows how amazing the swinging mechanics are. Full of depth and many ways to go about the levels in quick or stylish ways. I love this game and really wish somebody would make a spiritual successor

On the Area that requires the 3-way cannon to enter, you can take down the wall, evacuate, then parachute back in with the rocket. Though I'm not sure if the time it takes to do that is more than the time saved on the boss.

@TheSuperSNES Жыл бұрын

You're correct! On this version, it is ~4 seconds slower (I think....maybe it was 2 seconds?) to exit and use the rocket launcher vs having a very good stage clear with the 3-way shot (if you get the boss manipulation). On the JP version, the text in the menus is fast enough that it is actually just about the same speed to use rocket launcher.

Brilliant. I hope you see this: there is some time saving possible in stage 7. Drop the barrier, exit the level and reenter with rocket launcher. Boss will be quicker.

@TheSuperSNES 3 жыл бұрын

It is actually ~4 seconds slower to exit and use the rocket launcher because the dialogue and stage entry is so slow. On the Japanese version, the text is much faster and the rocket launcher strat is only ~1.5 seconds slower, but it is still slower.

@@TheSuperSNES Thank you! I have the japanese cartridge (had to figure everything out myself over a couple of years) so I thought it would be better. You are a master. This is my favorite NES game and I still play it (I have bought it in 1990). Let me ask you: how do you do the "jumps" from the floor? I use down when in the air for that effect, but would not work on the floor (Radd would kneel).

@TheSuperSNES 3 жыл бұрын

@@otavioxavier9652 Thanks! Always happy to hear that others love this game. ^_^ The little hops from the floor are the same as the ones you're doing in the air, just quicker (unless you're noticing the hops from the springboards in levels 6 and 9). I'm pressing down just a few frames after starting a swing (or in the case of the backwards hop, on the same frame that I start a swing).

In area 5, just entering the communicator room fulfills the requirement. In most of the other areas (1, 4, 8 at least), you need to actually use the computer.
