Late this month, the original Phoenotopia (the browser game) turned seven years old, and the Switch release of Awakening turned one year old. The week before, Awakening was featured in RTA in Japan Summer 2021, specifically an any% race between the top two runners: Nore and Waon. ( Click here to view the Reddit post.) Regarding the latter, even though I moderate the leaderboard, I have limited free time (as I admittedly tend to claim ad nauseam), so I usually only check the beginning, end, and duration of the submitted video to make sure that it’s authentic. Therefore, I watched as much of the race as I could when it was streamed on Twitch (i.e. roughly 6:40-8 AM EDT on Thursday I watched until 7 and caught glimpses after 7:30, due to my weekday commuting routine), and I dug through the VoD for the rest. It made me realize two things: (1) Skill-wise, I cannot hold a candle to runners like this. (2) The routing and strategies in PABCAB have more room for improvement than I thought. Side note about PABCAB: I already blogged about it, but to anyone unaware, it’s a video tutorial series about obtaining all badges in one file (and it involves time-saving techniques, hence the acronym meaning Phoenotopia: Awakening – Briskly Collecting All Badges). And now, since I learned just last night how to add video chapters on YouTube, the installments have proper timestamps that that appear on the seeking bar. Moving on, when I put out resources like this, it’s partly in hopes of helping others run the category in question, but alas. At the time of writing, no such hope has come to fruition, whether in regards to PABCAB or PHST (Phoenotopia 100% Speedrun Tutorial, the Flash precursor to PABCAB). I have no competition in Flash 100%, and no one has stepped up to become the first All Badges runner of Awakening.) Considering this, and because of the aforementioned any% race and anniversary, I figure that it’d be best to take matters into my own hands. Obviously, the main difficulty lies in finding 9-10 hours of free time, especially while living with my parents and having a full-time job. ![]() ![]() But at least it’s merely a difficulty, not an impossibility.
