![]() ![]() I'm only going to go over differences between runs here. This gives him an advantage against the final boss. He also holds his gun in front of him slightly when he shoots up, not in the middle of his body. Possibly implying something sexual, but let's not go there. He typically holds his gun closer to his body. Aside from size and speed, there is one other difference with Plissken. This becomes most apparent in stage 5, but is present in stage 1. Something I realized late in the running process, which I found ironic, he's harder to speedrun more because of his speed not his size. But because he's bigger and faster than the other two. I don't mean that because he's a salamander alien. Plissken is a different beast than Bill or Yagyu. Plissken on normal difficulty: 0:13:13 by Travis Hofman Lady Luck just didn't want to work with me on this one at all, so I let things slide I shouldn't have. I think this is the most entertaining one to watch, but the worst speed wise of the three. It could have gone better, but this was a pretty average fight. The boss is harder slightly because she is that little bit extra away from him so her spread shots spread out more, extending the fight slightly if your position is off. Otherwise, the herd part is slightly easier because of her smaller hit box. This is why I use the laser near the beginning and why I need to fake out a turret. Her lower gun position is harder to work with here. The beginning is the hardest part to run with Brownie. Brownie's higher jump comes into play here making it slower slightly in spots. Minor screw up in the lava section but otherwise flawless really. Brownie wants it closer since she doesn't thrust her weapon out like her male counterparts. The Boss went too far away from the truck at the end. You can see the size of her box when she is crouched the difference between standing and crouching is how far she can stand off of something. You'll notice Brownie is actually standing off the truck for a moment. I had the best position for a moment and accidentally moved away. Brownie is at a disadvantage here against the mid-boss because of her shorter gun. It's like the game hates Brownie exclusively. ![]() But I had that kind of luck all the time with Brownie. Nothing changes here from the Yagyu run strategy wise. The boss requires a slightly different pattern than the other characters for Brownie to kill it quickly. Occasionally I had fun and tried using the machine gun up until I need the spread on the worms. Brownie can kill those frog shooters with the machine gun because of her height. Again this is an extension of the Yagyu notes so only differences from that run are put here. Brownie runs as fast as Bill/Yagyu so I was aiming for a time similar to the run I had gotten for that category, which is no easy task. She also jumps higher than the other characters, which isn't noticed much until you start speed running her. This lower point is a bonus in the beginning, but a hindrance later. Brownie also fires her gun at a lower point and even closer to her body than Plissken or Bill/Yagyu. My biggest problem was that my luck seemed to dry up when I finished the other two. It seems like things should be easier with a smaller hit box. I actually found Brownie the most frustrating to run.
