Time wasted in optimelle vs craplemage

Time wasted in OptiMelle
0:02 grabbing hunter shield (optional)
0:13 grabbing undead burg firebombs
0:06 killing lizard before Taurus demon
0:02 waiting for fire to clear for hellkite
0:23 grabbing the BKGS
0:23 getting firebombs and blossoms in sen's

0:03 buying stuff from Andre
0:03 grabbing stone armor (yes it only takes that long)
0:05 grabbing hornet ring
0:02 killing lizard on way to Artorias
0:06 extra warp to stray demon

Amount of BS in OptiMelle is 1:34


Time wasted in Crapplemage
1:24 Going down to merchant and lower burg to free griggs wastes this much time
0:12 buying GSA and catalyst from griggs
0:02 grabbing soul in new londo
0:02 grabbing the bitch soul in valley of the drakes
0:03 getting purple moss
0:06 grabing GHSA and the ring from griggs
0:22 freeing logan from sen's
0:09 buying soul spear from logan
0:20 warping to and buying soul spear from griggs (this is IGT estimation, longer if you including loading screens)
1:00 getting crown of dusk
0:07 resting at manus bonfire
0:18 grabbing dark bead (if you die it's more of course)
0:06 spawning at manus bonfire after manus and warping to artorias bonfire

Amount of BS in Crapplemage is 4:11


Other considerations!
- You get blossoms in OM, you can use a few during elevators for more sprinting around such as through the blight town swamp, this saves a few seconds, you also have a lot more END running around
- Some amount of time is lost to moveswapping, a lot if you fail a lot
- The bad butterfly RNG in Optimelle wastes about as much time as average bad RNG on O&S in CM I'd say
- There are some seconds lost in oolacile due to extra rolling/attacking

So the fights in crapplemage in total have to be about 2:37 faster in total than Optimage for crapplemage to be faster minus the amount of time lost to moveswapping



Fight Speed Comparison
Asylum Demon - Same
Taurus Demon - Same
Gargoyles - Same
Ingward - CM 0:02
Quelaag - OM 3 running attacks to kill, some amount faster maybe 0:13 to 0:18 faster?
Iron Golem - Same
Ornstein & Smough - OM 0:07 to 0:27 (O&S almost always gives you non perfect fights in CM)
Butterfly - CM 0:13 to 0:25 (this is a bit RNG swingy)
Hydra - CM 0:11
Golden Golem - OM 0:03
Pendant Golem - OM 0:05
Seathe - OM 0:02
Sif - Same depending on RNG both routes kill him very quick (same goes for all DLC bosses)
!On the topic of DLC look at http://www.twitch.tv/m/324818, with perfect RNG the fights are faster!
Guardian - Same
Artorias - Same
Manus - Same
Kalameet - Same
Stray Demon - CM 0:05 I think
Gwyndolin - CM 0:03 I think
Pris - CM 0:05 I think
Ceaseless - CM 0:08 I think
Firesage - CM 0:02
Centipede - CM 0:02
Bed of chaos - Same
Capra - Same
Gaping Dragon - CM 0:04
Pinwheel - Same
Nito - CM 0:10 to 0:15 probably
4 Kings - CM 0:10
Gwyn - CM 0:04

Pendant Golem - OM 0:05
Seathe - OM 0:02


From these rough estimates I estimate OptiMelle to be 1:52 or so faster than Crapplemage
MINUS the amount of time it takes to moveswap for fights,
MINUS a few seconds lost in oolacile needing to roll more,
PLUS the amount of time faster it is than Crapplemage because of higher END and blossoms running around
