Level: 507 Time: 3:19:81 Grade: M Video link: www.twitch.tv/videos/574688427 Edit: Apologies for having no sound; a recent OBS update reset my sound settings. I'll be sure to fix that for any other submissions I make. Also, just for transparency, this run was done on MAME emulation.
Got myself a GM in 6:23.96. I left the game before it in as well because it was a 3:24:75 torikan break. It's played on MAME, correct version running at 61.whatever. I might try to better it, but maybe not. It depends how many other GM games get submitted. I'm happy being behind MHL.
What happened right around 890 was I started getting ahead of myself, thinking it could be a GM, and then the mistakes start rolling in, I lost the "in the moment" for a little bit, and had to get it back quickly, otherwise it wouldn't have been. Controlling those kind of thoughts are important! And controlling the other things, like excitement/nerves, the heart rate, and breathing is all important as well!
I got a new death PB with a 190 at 1:57:98 on Shiromino!! I’m really excited with this because my old Pb was a 136. So big improvement and I could see myself possibly breaking the 300 barrier in the near future Edit: I had a 1256 10 game series
