Ninja Gaiden Black - Segmented Master Ninja Speedrun -

I still might have one more crack at this, no dupes or the OOB in chapter 11 are east time saves and I didn't end up beating all my old fights. This run would be 01:49:17 RTA.

Some of these are going to be damn near impossible to best though so I don't think I will get every last second of possible gain there is but I think sub 01:38:00 is definitely doable.

Very happy with the run though, the new route takes about 3 and a half minutes in just essence farming alone and the Emperor 2 one shot is a solid 25 second time save. The rest came from better movement and menus along with faster clears for some fights.

If you're wondering how Ryu gets warped straight to the Murai fight at the end it's done by continuing after dying to him previously. This will skip the platforming and doesn't add to the in game timer.

I showed in the BTS streams how I edit the saves, I go frame by frame in the editor and clip it on the first frame after the interact prompt has gone away. The in game timer does not count time spend at save statues, I'm not sure if it triggers the frame you press X but this way keeps it consistent across all saves as sometimes it takes a little longer for the save menu to come up.
