Read it and weep boys!

Since it's so close to the end of the competition, I'll go ahead and extend it a day so you guys get a chance to try again.
5' 45" 70!

Whoa.

And pcwzrd reminds us, he's still in the mix!
Unfortunately, I have that beat...barely.
5'44"30
Finally getting the hang of making Claire aim where I want... Those mean, fast sharp-claw...things still were some trouble though. So the time's very beatable.

Yeah, that's where I have the most trouble too! Some of the arrows go right through them which is annoying. I handled them pretty quickly on this run. I don't think I could have done much better. The only mistake I made was using a healing herb.

Ouch!...
Well I should thank you for extending the time, allowing for another counter punch...
5'29"56
The claw guys went much better this time, but I think it could be a little better still. (Even when I aim down and wait for them, it still sometimes misses; even though you can clearly see the explosion underneath them)... Plus I took a couple hits from the boss that hadn't normally happened in previous runs.
So still some little hiccups, but a lot of it seems random now (some arrows miss target, zombie doesn't...er, "die" immediately, the claws, boss's smoke)... This one for sure is probably as good as I'm gonna get...

Oh wow!

Very impressive Chris! I think you might have me beat there. I'll give it another shot but I don't know...

*dodges counter punch and throws possible knockout punch*
5' 23" 30!
Believe it or not there is still room for improvement. I still used a healing herb once and one room took longer than I wanted. On the plus side, I don't think the boss hit me with his smoke once and I handled the lizards rather quickly.
I went ahead and extended the competition one more day.

I think I'm gonna give up on this competition. I managed a time of about 44" but it's just too frustrating. I've been kind of lazy on this one, since I've been distracted with other games lately. Have fun you two!

Awww! Did you get a pic of the 44" time? You could always post it anyway just for the records.

Holy...! Figured that time was beatable, but I didn't imagine by THAT much. And STILL room for improvement?! Nice job. OK. Looks like a standing 8 count. So one more go tonight. Then this fight might have to be called...

Heh. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised...but I am.
5'20"90 !?!
No herbs. Lizards went very well (although a couple took 3 shots to kill). And boss was about perfect. However 1 room took maybe 1-2 secs. longer than usual. And I actually got bitten once, though was able to throw him off pretty quick. So probably still room for improvement, but hard to believe there's that much now...
