"I decided to try running the first stage of Bleed using White, taking no hits, and not using bullet time to try to get it the fastest I could. This is fairly unoptimized, and I'm not even sure if White is overall the fastest weapon to use here, but I think it's a decent take.

Unfortunately, after I finished filming this, I stumble across a serious trick that could potentially speed this up significantly, so a better time is easily possible.

Infinite Dash: []


Obviously, you want to be dashing as much as possible since Wryn moves at least three times as fast doing so. As I dashed, I tried to move close to enemies to simultaneously get some style points from dodging and get White close enough to deal damage and become more powerful. (The White increases in damage with your style rank.) The dashing isn't super tight in this take and I waste some time with some little mistakes, such as not getting good height in the third room.

By the time I get to the Chopper Core, I have an A rank, but it's quite possible to have an S rank by this point. This costs a bit of time since the White is dealing less damage to it. That said, I got a lucky pattern with it that allowed me to instantly dash off to the right side once I'd killed it. The Chainsaw may be more valuable against the Chopper than the White -- but I haven't tested it yet.

I also got a little lucky with Guppy, who was just about to go invincible before I brought his health down far enough to split him. It feels like I lose time using the White after he splits, though, just because the Laser Rifle cuts through all four simultaneously.

I time it from the first frame that the mission text appears -- because these screens can be skipped. Again, definitely far from perfect, but it's good for about thirty minutes of effort."
