First released in January, 1998, this game takes places in the same city as the original (Raccoon City), a few months later. This time, you play as rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy or as Claire Redfield (Chris's sister), as you try to escape the city. Umbrella has come up with a new, more powerful form of the T-Virus this time, which they call the G-Virus. Resident Evil 2 has been released on many platforms, including Nintendo 64, GameCube and Dreamcast.

There was also a slight mishap with Sherry in the sewers: In the room with the Eagle Medal after fighting the Giant Crocodile, I prefer to leave Sherry behind at the split so I don't have to wait for her after taking the Medal. When I ran past her she got stuck on the railing, then decided to run the exact opposite direction, which caused her to sit down. I ran back to get her to follow me, then headed for the ladder, and she did it AGAIN! I swear I would've thrown the controller out the window if had done it a 3rd time.
Other than those 2 things, the rest of the run was pretty good. Claire actually has equal or less trouble with all other bosses compared to Leon.

Other than that, everything else went well. All boss fights went smoothly, and most normal enemies cooperated and died quickly.

There were a few zombies that grabbed me that shouldn't have, and I could have dodged a bit more toward the end of the run, but all in all this was probably my best of the 4 runs. I actually had the most practice on this one, and wasn't willing to accept anything over 1:20.

Leon also ends up dealing with "Tiny" (that's what I call the monster in the trench coat) an extra time compared to Claire. Not really an issue, just annoying since it's a difficult place to dodge him.
The only thing that cost me time really was the fight with William on the lift. He insisted on jumping around rather than walking toward me, which doesn't give me many chances to take shots.

The trick to this mission is to find the fastest was through each room without taking massive hits. Most rooms are rather easy to dodge through, but there's a few that require a shot or 2 to make through safely, such as the east stairwell on the 1st floor of the Precinct with the 3 dogs - narrow halls suck.
I also found that the Plants don't actually do any damage when they grab you as long as you shake free before they do anything. This gave me an easy way past the 2 in the west hall.
The only real "tough" room is the secretary's office on the 2nd floor, with like 10 zombies inside. There's virtually no point in taking any shots since you'll get hit if you do. Taking a couple hits and knocking them down tends to be the best course of action.

Occasionally through the video the image will brighten or dim itself. this is probably because my capture card, a Lifeview Flyvideo2000, by default is implementing its "white peak" and "color peak" functions, automatically trying to adjust color settings according to the content of the picture, and I can't disable it with the capturing software I use (VirtualVCR).
Huge credit goes to Zeno because I used his videos as a base for my run. here's the page.
I would like to give shoutouts to Zeno, Shin and the other Biohazard players on their site - you guys are all very inspirational and talented gamers.
