Most Difficult Speed Runs

[Craig]

I've started the speed runs. The first 2 missions went smoothly, but I've got a bad feeling about the 15:00 target on the third.

Can someone who's done them all let me know which are the most difficult. I'm trying to gauge what I'm getting myself into.

I found the third to be a bit of a pain, if I remember rightly I was close to the limit with it. With regard to the others:

4-9 are ok (4 in particular is quite generous)
10 I didn't like as although it gives you a lot of time I never found a 'nice' way of doing it
11 is ok. It's quite short which in some ways makes it easier as it's quick enough to just restart and try again. Also because of the way the level works you can actually end up being screwed over near the end by the position of the target.
12 and 13 I can't really remember

Thanks for the reply. It's encouraging that the others aren't as hard.

My first attempt at the level 3, 15:00 min target was 31:28. Quite a way to go, but seems worth at least one more attempt. It's going to be tight. I still haven't worked out how to do the compound cleanly, so that's the puzzle I'll need to solve.

If anyone's following in my footsteps (pun intended), my speed run times for level 3 were:

31:28
26:34
16:27
17:22
19:04
16:53
11:42

All in all, it probably took as about long as my first run. So don't be discouraged. It's very possible to beat the 15:00 target once you've gitted gud.

Update (since I'm currently replaying the game myself) - 12 is pretty easy, had plenty of time to spare and it wasn't a complicated plan!

Level 5's 15:00 target took a bit of experimentation for me, times were:

25:07
20:12
27:37
21:58
12:55

Level 7 was looking like bit of a challenge, but the times fell fast:

1:03:54
29:33
18:13

The 25:00 target for mission 10 is looking challenging.

So far I've done 1-6, 9, 12 & 13 with little to no problems more or less, haven't tried 7,8 & 10 yet. The 11 one with just 9 minutes I've tried several times now, I think I have a good path, but the 9 minutes are pretty tough in my opinion, best time is around 13 minutes.
8 seems doable at first glance, but 7 & 10 I have some respect for...

[Craig]

7 and 8 weren't a problem for me.
10 takes some practice, but there's plenty of room for error in the target.
11 is the next one for me. Looks like I'll have to work fast.

[Dippelinho]

You were right, 7 and 8 weren't that big of a problem. I just had respect for 7 bc on my first playthrough I had a rough start there.

I would say that overall 10 & 11 are the most challenging ones; 11 bc of the time limit itself and 10 bc of the limitations of the characters for the most part.
