Mirror's Edge - Atrium Two (32.99) World Record + Goodbye

Описание: This game has been a big part of my life for the last 8 years. It has taken so much valuable time away from me, especially during big projects like Hype Strats and the chapter wr unhoard. Many times it stopped being a hobby and became a full time job. I need to move on with my life and I want to thank the mirror's edge speedrunning community for being awesome and the viewers for watching and commenting over the years. This game still has plenty of potential and there are--and will be--runners to get the job done.

I planned to retire from the game when the chapter wr unhoard was finished in March. However, I hung around for a while longer and got the idea to run any% one last time before leaving (since 2018 I regretted not getting a 27:xx, which shouldn't have been too hard). I started streaming any% for a couple weeks and got 27:46, excluding strats to play it safe and making huge mistakes. It was 5 seconds behind wr. I decided to keep doing runs for the wr. I should have been able to get a 27 flat or even a 26:xx. But it wasn't long before I lost motivation. I had achieved the 27 I wanted and the wr was unnecessary. It was unimportant. I've had the any% wr 14 times in the past, so it isn't anything new to me. I stopped doing runs and my any% journey was over.

But I couldn't just fade away like that. I had to go out with a bang and I looked for the most insane time trial run I could possibly do. A wr with two frame perfect input tricks? I'm in. The first kick in the chain determines the entire chain. A spacebar kickglitch + a perfect angle. You have no idea how hard it is. I had to throw myself at the wall hundreds of times and hope the stars would align. I also decided to exclude a 0.5s double kickglitch strat due to it being extremely annoying and decreasing the number of runs that reached the big chain. At the time of getting this run (1st July) the official wr was 35.02 by bastounm33. Getting wr on this trial by over 2 seconds felt incredible.

I'm happy to have done it all. Battling with floubz, zubmit, walrus, and phillotrax in any%; battling with Isyfly, phillo, lambo, basto, and voetiem in chapters and time trials; making strat montages with glost, lambo, stoggervlazar, blumage, heki, and bbgn; working on the segmented run with the whole community; and, of course, making good friends along the way.

This is goodbye. I have "retired" from the game a couple times before, but this time I am confident I will not be returning.
