Have been grinding a bit to do sub 30 in Mighty No. 9 Any% with Beck, and today it finally happened. There is a lot more to improve obviously but I have been talking about getting this for so long and finally it is real. Few new strats came up during this new grinding too and those helped a lot!

What a day. There were good games and there were bad games, but overall, what an experience again! Time to take a break from world of ys for a bit (except for VIII because derpathon...) and do something else :) Thank you everyone who joined. Time to start preparing for Derpathon and FinnRuns Summer!

11/11 games derusted for Ys marathon. Managed to pull a pb on Ark of Napishtim as well! Had better paces, but this was the only one that survived. With that said, all games are derusted and older ones rerusted! time to go for the marathon next saturday! It's going to be a blast.

10/11 games derusted for Ys marathon. Got a nice PB in Ys Origin, but there is still a lot to clean up. Something for later. This is probably the most difficult game for me (luckily it is the first game so fatigue hasn't kicked in lol). Final game in lineup remaining so, Ys VI Ark of Napishtim next

9/11 games derusted for Ys marathon. Managed to improve my pb by six minutes across 3 pb:s. Latest one in the image. I am planning to go for the full marathon mid June if all goes according to a non-existent plan. Back to mouse and keyboard gaming as next up is Origin

8/11 games derusted for Ys marathon. Oath in Felghana was the first game I learned from the series. Always a fun game to return to! Pb is not really but really is a pb, because somehow I don't get an FMV after final boss and that is 70 seconds saved automatically... Welp. I will take it. Seven next

6/11 games derusted for Ys marathon. Well, did not play this that much since I got sick (and got too into Infinite Wealth). But still got a pb on the second attempt (out of two...). Well I have to keep playing this game for an event (more on that later). Next up Ys VIII.

5/11 games derusted for Ys marathon. IX was also one of the "more played" titles so I was pretty sure that this will be fine. And it was! Was even on a pb pace but it bled in the final fights sadly... not sure what to do next, so maybe X?

4/11 games derusted for the Ys marathon. Ys II was the first game out of the four that I had played a bit more before. This was the best attempt and was pretty close to pb pace until I forgot to visit palace near the end game. Good hustle still as I improved my sum of bests by 30 seconds! Next IX
