Ugh,my microphone is way too low,this should not be a problem in the next video. Also,tell me what you think of the outro!
As you may or may not know,there are no categories created to Snick runs in speedrun.com. One of the moderators of the Pizza Tower speedrun page said that they would be happy to create a "Snick% category" if there was any general interest in it. So I decided to post my first Snick run. And I'm not over with this lad,I can guarantee you that by the end of this week,this record will be considerably lower.
I hope this inspire people to run as Snick. He might be considerably harder and more annoying to play as,but he is fast as all hell. I know I can at least get a sub 7 with him,and I'll not stop until this happens.

As you may or may not know,I released my own Pizza Tower mod this month. It took several months to finish,since I only did it whenever I felt like it,but at least I managed to finish it,which is something I usually don't do with my personal projects lol.
S ranking those levels require some insane skill level,but if you're good enough you will quickly notice there's a lot of margin for error. It took me 1 hour and 22 minutes to S rank everything in one sitting.
The mod's title logo was made by the absolute chad called Astro,and the video's thumbnail is an obvious parody of damianbratonja's thumbnails.

Reuploaded because I fucked up the rendering and the original upload didn't have sound.
Mr. L wanted me to beat the Ancient Cheese individual level world record so I did it, and he watched me. Took me 50 minutes to get it.

I watched the Sobadsosad's version of Everywhere at the End of Time and thought it was terrible, so I decided to make my own version.

At last,I win!
That was a crazy journey. This level is very important to me,and this record is even more. The only reason I became a speedrunner is because I saw DipártyiöHeinz's 1:49 and thought "Hey,maybe I can beat this!",so I started grinding.
While doing so,I learned how to do a mach cancel,and mastered it after a long time. My first PB was 1:50,which is pretty close to the record. But he lowered it down to 1:43,so I needed to try harder.
Time went on and I managed to get a 1:42. I finally beat his record. I started to think about better strategies to get a faster time,and I managed to lower my record all the way up to 1:38.
But then I look at his channel and realize that he also got a 1:38,four days before I did,using mostly the same strats I used. But he had many notable fails that weren't present in my run,and I completed the second room much faster than him,so I got angry and confused. So I replied to his run and linked to my 1:38 that I posted in the PT Discord server.

Two days later,this clever bitch stole my strats and got a 1:36,which is his personal best at the time this video got uploaded.
I knew I could claim it back. So I started grinding,to no success. Eventually my parents were sick of me screaming and beating the table,so they forced me to stop.
A month later,I watch a video from Rodolfo Pou completing the level in 2:29.

It wasn't *too* bad,but then,at the 1:40 time of the video,he does something I didn't know it was possible. He jumped over the sausage rider without superjumping. This was a game-changer.
So I went back to grinding,this time with some new cards in my deck. And even modded a music into the level,it's Apocalypse Storm by Anthony Salvato.

And today,I did it. I beat the record for two whole seconds.
This record was a product of,counting all the grinding I did since I started grinding this level months ago,OVER 15 HOURS TOTAL OF TRAINING.
Do you think this record is cool? You can do better if you try. And if you think I'm just saying this to make you feel better,know that before I started grinding Dragon Lair,I thought getting world record on Pizza Tower was completely out of my league. But I started practicing hard,and that's where I am today. I had a Pizza Tower race against the two best speedrunners of the community,XBC30EP450 and Mr. L,and WON,against all my expectations.
You can do much better than me if you try,but you need to put in the legwork. Work hard,maybe even harder than me (which isn't all that hard since I'm lazy as heck) and you will go far.
Now talking about the record in question,surprisingly,I managed to get it after grind

The first speedrun I ever uploaded to the internet, now on YouTube (actually it's my second one but shut up)
I first uploaded this on the Pizza Tower Discord, and thought why not upload it here as well.
You can consider this a late 200 subs special video.
