You gotta love the final time of Josh Styger's Kick master speedrun, and if you don't get that, you don't spend enough time on teh internetz. Download - http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?KickMaster_SS_1337 Author's comments: First off my priority is to get Kick Master to level 2 so I can use the slide technique which really speeds things up. This is done by collecting experience that explode out of monsters when they die. After I get to level 3 I mostly go for mana instead of experience. Stage 1 and 2 are pretty boring because I'm just levelling. Stage 3 is where it gets interesting because I now have the knee and slide techniques. At level 3 I gain the double kick technique which is very useful for a lot of bosses even more so then the almighty knee. * Stage 4 - I grab the super potion spell near the beginning of the stage but it wastes a couple seconds. * Stage 5 - The flying bug boss is faced a lot throughout this game but here is where he is the hardest because I can only jump so high to set up my knee. Also the giant squid is an annoying boss and had I known the squid's bubbles of death were going to go after me so much I would have used the lightning spell to damage the squid faster (this is only faster if the bubbles are attacking you a lot). * Stage 6 - I beat the 2 boss Harpies perfectly. * Stage 7 - I messed up on 2 bosses in this level because I somehow failed to hold down twice. I reach level 3 near the end of this level which I need for the double kick technique which is very useful for the last stage. * Final Stage - I just use earthquake and freeze the bosses in a good position to use double kick on. I'm just as surprised as you are that you can freeze the last boss, however even when she can't move she still has a high chance of hitting you unless you use the strategy I used. If I knew I would have so much mana left over I would not have grabbed any hearts and would have used more health risky strategies in some parts. Thanks to: Mike Uyama who came up with the strategy for the last boss and also told me lightning was useful for the giant squid which I tested to work but did not use in this run. FODA for his Tas of Kick Master which gave me many great strategies. SDA Crew: Radix, Enhasa, Nate, DJGrenola, and Mike Uyama.
