Speed Demos Archive - Star Fox: Assault

Released in February 2005, Star Fox: Assault is the 4th Star Fox game, a series known for creative innovations such as the Super FX chip on the SNES and the Rumble Pak on the N64. In Assault, the Lylat system has come under attack by a new foe called the Aparoids, a species of machines made up of one collective mind. Join the Star Fox team and help beat back the Aparoids to save the Lylat system.

I'm quite proud of this run, which is my first one ever, and won't be the last. I've worked hard to find my own routes, except on level 2 which I take the one of the previously maded run and modify a bit so it could be faster. Let's make a closer look at the levels, shall we?

Mission 1: 05:39

Basicaly well. If I would have boost faster, I could have save 3-4 seconds, but I've found it could be faster only after.

Mission 2: 02:24

Think it want well. Only a little random thing here. 2 of the Aparoid to destroy when you got the tank change slightly of position, but enough to backward, which I had to do

Mission 3: 02:16

Not been in so luck here. I missed 2 Transport device on my shots. First one because there was a ennemy blocking my view, second one because of the auto-aim on ennemy instead. Sometime I hate these auto-aim... My fight with Star Wolf went quite well.

Mission 4: 06:18

This route is quite good, with a lot of missed shot on the energy tower. My boss fight went fast and easy.

Mission 5: 04:48

Like mission 1, if boosted faster, could have made better time.

Mission 6: 00:59

Lost 15 second trying to destroy the 3RD hatcher. I wanted to do it slowly to be sure I'll got it. But trust me, 15 seconds faster is possible...

Mission 7: 07:04

I'm SO SURE It's not the best route. But that's the one i've found so far.

Mission 8: 05:03

I don't like that much that mission. Bit borring... like... too much like a level in SF64. But still made it as quick as I could.

Mission 9: 04:40

Here too 15 seconds faster is possible, but I did'nt done the best route because I already tried and I died, making me angry, I change it slightly so I don't die.

Mission 10: 06:32

I Did'nt boost like in other mission cause it's way too much risky. Even on bronze, you can easily die. The fight with Aparoid Queen went quick.

Total Time: 45:43

Overall, I think it's a really nice run. Under 45 minutes is really possible, but under 44 minutes, I'm still not sure, but it could be really great. I'll try a Silver and Gold someday. Well actually, I'm working on a Silver one. Hope it's will be as great.
