Long time watcher, first time speedrunner here. Messed around with the first level of an EWJ2 speedrun in my friend's room after we watched a couple, and was surprised at how much fun it was. Now, after that practice run and two or three irritating desyncs that forced me to start over, I think I'm getting the hang of it.
While watching M.T.'s EWJ video, I realized that EWJ2 is much more suited for speedrunning; Andy Asteroids are gone, no long force-scrolling segments like the one in Level 5, and the recurring Puppy Love levels are a good bit easier to watch (and I'm considering trying something fun like syncing the marshmallow swivels and dives to the music). Lorenzo's Soil offers a hugely cool viewing experience with the potential for shooting down just the dirt necessary to get by. Most of the levels, while utterly bizarre, don't put obvious boundaries on the speed of player, again with the exception of Puppy Love.
So I've started my run on Difficult, and have the first two levels beat with a time of 4:27, 16006 frames and 1621 rerecords. Basically aiming for the fastest possible time, but I'm also wondering what you guys would like to see as far as some of the neat little bonus things in this game: i.e. the quiz show and memory game in Blind Sally and whether or not it's worth doing Totally Forked. It'll probably extend the total time by about three or four minutes, but it could make the video more entertaining; this is an insanely weird and imaginative game, and just flying past many of its charms and quirks might not be as much fun. Thoughts/preferences? I can upload the .smv as well if anyone wants to see what I've done so far.
Edit: Actually, probably a good idea to just include it, since I'm so new here.
