It's something that doesn't happen too often. On March 16th of this year, Chris "cak" Knight defeated the previous world record, which he himself had currently held since 2005 on Twin Galaxies. How's that for some self-inspiration? Chris's video can be seen below. The game is finished in 0:15:43 and is currently being verified at Speed Demos Archive. It's considered to be a "minimalist" run, and Chris defeats Kraid to get 75 missiles, skipping Ridley entirely. He then uses a trick where you lure a Reo into the statue room, and freeze it to get into Tourian (starts around 12:30). Congratulations to Chris for his awesome accomplishment!
