Speedplans

Now that 1545 is out of the way, I will likely not be touching OG Crash 1 or 3 for a while. Both of them were giving me a high amount of stress leading into the event, especially the latter, and I don’t really wanna look at them for now. I’m happy I got a PB in 105 during the 1545 and I can walk away from that game for now. I would not be against returning to Crash 1 but I would prefer to play it on J, which I currently can’t.

I still plan on playing Crash 2. The PAL PS2 has made me see a significant improvement in consistency over PSTV. I am averaging mid 1:2x runs, which was unheard of before I switched consoles. I definitely wanna push for 1:19 still, and afterwards I’ll see where it goes. I don’t know if I’ll go for a 42 in No GO.

From now until the closing of AGDQ submissions, my main focus is going to be NST Crash 2 Any%. I want more than anything to get that game into AGDQ 2019. I have wanted to do an AGDQ run since Sword’s Crash 2 Run in 2017. I also specifically want to do AGDQ rather than SGDQ, because the Prevent Cancer Foundation has a much more personal meaning to me than Doctors Without Borders. Crash 1 and 3 NST have both had great showcases at GDQ and I want to have the chance to give Crash 2 an amazing showing as well.

Ever since Stuart got WR in C2 Any% (by several minutes thanks to PC being that much better), I feel like people have forgotten that I am also really good at this game, and that a large majority of strats exist because of me. The fact that I have been almost completely forgotten and ignored despite all of the milestones I hit in NST Crash 2 as a whole (in Any% alone, I had the first 48, 47, AND 46) has hit a really sore spot in me. This isn’t Stu’s fault, and I do not blame him. But I can say that I am motivated to prove everybody wrong. I have already dropped my SoB to a low 44 (and it still can go much lower), and I will do everything to make sure I’m ready to give the best showcase I can for AGDQ.

For other NST categories, I plan on returning to C3 108% and C2 102% after C2 Any. C3 Any and C1 All Gems are also things I would like to do, but they aren’t as pressing. I don’t know when I will go back to C2 100%, but I don’t particularly care for it so I’ll just leave it be for now.

I want to return to Spyro 1, because I adore that game and was having a lot of fun running it before my hiatus in February. I would also like to return to A Hat in Time. Don’t know when these will be.

I would like to learn Jak 1 and Crash Twinsanity, but these may be far off.

I will probably try Spyro 1 Reignited, assuming I like it.

That’s all I have planned for now.
