 Krille gets score WR O_O

Posted by Kinnijup on June 9th, 2016 @09:29AM

Hey gang, a lot of things going on in the last 4 days. The biggest news is Krille71 took home the score World Record with a massive score of $3,461,950!! He edged mine out by $12,300. There will be a longer article posted about the run in the near future with the video of the run as well. Congrats Krille!!!

 

Another big run that happened this week, was Brutwarst improved his Low% PB by about 3 seconds to a 2:40.518! He just missed Pibonacci's 2:40.420 by .098 (and the 3rd place podium spot) but I think it is clear Brut will improve this and likely do it soon. He hit a crazy 59s into the ice caves split on the run, as well. Only a handful of sub 1 minute into ice caves runs have happened. For a reference point, d_tea was 1:00 into ice caves on his 2:37.995 Low% WR. Good luck here, Brut!

 

meowmixmix has been trying his hand at Any% teleporter runs lately, and already managed to finish one. He hit a 3:08. Another impressive run he got done was a 4:51 Low% No Gold run! Both of these runs are super impressive, especially considering the little amount of time he has in the game!

 

kvec got some points by finishing a Max Hell% run, an 11:41. kvec has really skyrocketed up the main list recently, and now sits at #22. He will be entering the top 20 soon! The 4 remaining runs he has yet to complete are probably the 4 hardest challenge runs (Max Low%, Eggplant%, Low% Hell, and No Gold Hell%) but considering his rapid progress when he tries, I think we will see him start picking these off.

 

kvec also worked on Low% No Gold, and already had a sweet time. He hit a 5:46! This also counts for No Gold Any%!

 

Notester82 got a nice Any% PB, a 5:52. He's also working on Low% so we are likely to see some action from him there, as well!

 

I (Kinnijup) edged Buddy7heElf out by just a bit for the Eggplant% WR. I got an 8:50. There are at least 4 players who are somewhat active who can beat this time, so I think we might see this go down some more this year. Someone might also get a later eggplant or hired hand that allows an additional timesave, too. I also got a 5s Low% Hell PB, with a 6:09.

 

pj showed up this week to nail a 3:39 Low%. Really getting that time down now, pj! He had to navigate a nasty beehive level on the run and handled it well.

 

ShinGraywords got a nice speedlunky Max Any%, a 7:42. I have a feeling now that Shin is back from vacation we will see PBs from him regularly. Shin also got a pretty nice Any% PB with a 2-1 Jetpack + Mattock. He hit a 3:25. I bet he can get this under 3! looking good, Shin!

 

jwhanson15 submitted his 2nd ever Hell run, a 49:45. He also submitted a 56:26 Big Money run! Good luck on your future runs :D

 

hideflomein has been super busy with PBs! This time around, he submitted a 21:35 Max Any%, a $651k score run, and a 40:10 Hell% run (also Big Money!). Nice job!

 

Saibot worked on one of his favorite categories, Max Low%. It really paid off, too. He nailed a 6:37! Really looking good now, Saibot.

 

Lastly, we got some action from theZaxanator! Zax and I have always talked to eachother about our runs, so I get really excited when he makes some progress. His Low% PB was pretty old, but he managed to improve it this week by about 8 full seconds! He hit a 3:17! Really great run, Zax!

 

That's all for now,
