I Wanted to Set a NEW PERSONAL RECORD in Far Far West, So I Did!

Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]Howdy collaborator, few days ago I attempted to speedrun the tutorial and I think it went pretty well. However, there's a lot of time to shave off and apparently I can immediately cut down on 10 seconds because I started the timer way too early. So today I'm here trying it again and for this time I changed some stuff up. These are my jokers on the hero.

[00:00:18]I'm carrying impulse grenades, the sheriff stars of course for the double jumps. Now for something I wanted to test out is with the shotgun. I went in on mostly running gun as well as speedster. I've taken out the most powerful jokers this thing has for extra speed when I'm shooting and actually want to see if shooting when running or jumping in this case will help out quite a bit here. However, I am going to change some stuff around. We're going to need way more reload speed because of that as well. The damage is still on there and the quick fire rate mainly for the lich that spawns towards the end because I want to kill that one fast. So here we go. I've learned that you only start the timer after you start moving so that's what I will be doing. This is where the general time save came from.

[00:01:01]We don't have to talk to Bull here so let's keep moving. Basically what we want to do is we want to get to our weapon as fast as possible. Also there was a skip.

[00:01:11]Yeah, okay. This is working so much better already.

[00:01:14]I'm going a bit quick.

[00:01:17]Apparently there was a way to skip some of the dialogue. That was by pressing escape twice. Oh yeah, that's so much quicker too.

[00:01:28]I'm not that great at the this whole shoot and run thing I'll admit, but hey.

[00:01:33]Okay, I'm also noticing I can shoot and then dash and that is the best time to use this speed buff that I get from running gun.

[00:01:41]That saves a lot of bullets.

[00:01:44]So I think that's what we'll do.

[00:01:47]So that was a pretty slow one. That was pretty much the same as I had before and that's without taking 10 seconds off. So my personal best right now should be 1 minute and 36 seconds. So that is something I want to beat. And I think with this new strat that is definitely possible. This first bit I'm not sure how to really improve that.

[00:02:08]All right, I keep jumping and then shooting which is something I should not do either.

[00:02:13]I should not have double jumped there either.

[00:02:15]Oh, a lot of things to learn, I guess.

[00:02:17]Also, let me know what you all think of this format which is a bit more open, I suppose, or a bit more live talking. I don't know how to explain it, but you know what I mean.

[00:02:28]I also learned with this boss, one we have to shoot that, but two you probably kind of want to wait until it actually on does well. Oh, that's going really slow.

[00:02:44]Yeah, that definitely needs a restart right there.

[00:02:47]I feel like I'm doing worse.

[00:02:49]But I think that's just because I'm trying to learn this uh running gun tech which is like completely different to how I usually play. Which is something I didn't really have an issue with before, like during the last video, because I was already using most of that tech on normal runs anyway.

[00:03:08]But it's slowly improving, that is the thing that counts.

[00:03:11]Funnily enough, you cannot skip the intro with the double escape press trick.

[00:03:17]I think that was like a 1:36 37. I think it was a pretty good run though. Which makes me fear that I don't think 1:30 is possible with my current either knowledge or just general strats.

[00:03:30]Yikes, 1:40.

[00:03:32]I will say doing this, I wish there was just a retry button. Of course, it was never meant to be speedrun, so that makes sense that you have to like quit out, go back here, sit for the loading screen and the tutorial again.

[00:03:45]Of course, I'm not doing as many laps as regular speedrunners, so God knows how they feel about that.

[00:03:52]And I'm trying something new here.

[00:03:57]And that one is terrible.

[00:03:59]>> [laughter] >> 142 I think my goal has become to just hit the 135.

[00:04:05]Cuz again, 130 I think is uh was a bit too optimistic.

[00:04:11]All right, I think it's just easier to keep running here and chucking it.

[00:04:15]At least at that starting section cuz you have to pick up stuff.

[00:04:19]141 146, but I tried some new tech in this one. Which uh did not work, obviously.

[00:04:26]All right, I have somewhat of a plan.

[00:04:27]I'm going to change out one moon gravity. And instead I'm going to carry some more utilities. Hopefully that does the job.

[00:04:36]As well as maybe a healthy boy. We wouldn't have to pick up the healing bottle though.

[00:04:41]Cuz uh we're not at full HP.

[00:04:43]All right, that also slows us down a lot in this section.

[00:04:47]Actually utility actually doesn't even work. I was thinking of like throwing it down here then flying over to this section, but you only of course get one utility. And then I could have, you know, thrown down the other utility here.

[00:04:59]Also the moon gravity, the 25% actually does quite a lot.

[00:05:04]152, yikes. That definitely did not work. All right, I went back to the other loadout.

[00:05:09]132 again.

[00:05:11]I will say doing this gives me so much more respect for speed runners.

[00:05:16]Who are grinding this level day in day out.

[00:05:19]137, getting pretty close this time. I think if I'm getting better at hitting the bell, I can definitely get 135.

[00:05:28]Another 137.

[00:06:43]>> Okay, okay. I think it's happening. I think it's happening.

[00:06:48]Now, don't screw up the hardest part of the run.

[00:06:55]Cuz now my heart's racing and I'm definitely going to jump on the train too soon and get bounced off.

[00:07:11]1:32. Let's [music] go.

[00:07:15]Oh.

[00:07:20]And I was still with a pretty bad bell combo, too.

[00:07:25]Oh my goodness. Oh, that leveled me up a few good times, though. While it's nowhere near the world record holder, I think for the 40 minutes I put into this today, including like half an hour I did last time, that's still pretty good. And I think from here on out it's either I have to change some things up or I really have to nail down some of the mechanics, especially that bell ringing at the end.

[00:07:46]I think it can be improved. If I can hit that faster, 130 is definitely on the table. With that, I hope you all enjoyed. I'll leave in the comments down below what time you got, and I'll see you all in the next one, partner.
