[PS1] Time Crisis ~ Special Stage Route BBB

WOO! It's only been what, 6+ years since I last attempted to record Special Stage for CZcams? ...And only some 16 months since I actually uploaded those 6 year old videos?...
Wait, what about the damn Katawa Shoujo video I was talking about, uh... it's in the works. Trust me.
This is not the best run I ever had of the BBB route. I actually pulled off an 8'49" the other day while getting hit once at the final boss. However, this is the best I ever had while not being hit at all, which I feel looks more impressive to the average viewer than a faster run. This run isn't necessarily slow anyway. The final boss of the B ending is extremely annoying: its patterns are consistent, but when it starts to shoot everywhere, the random nature of the accuracy of enemy bullets makes it total luck whether you'll get hit or not. If you're running ahead of schedule when it comes to hitting the boss, at least you can easily just hide all the way through the spray and not deal with it. The tiny hitbox of the boss combined with the tiny hitbox of your shots also make it a drag to hit. I actually had rotten luck hitting it at the second phase, which slowed me down somewhat and even sent the boss into a final, much harder pattern I haven't seen before. I assume you get the bad ending if you finish the stage with less than 10 seconds on the clock, so it was a close call for me.

how you take the b route? I always go AAA route i can't change it

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

The first B route is if you are too slow in the Elevator Hall in Area 1. The elevator doors close and Miller goes to the Mall instead.
For the AB path, it happens if you take longer than 50 seconds to defeat the boss Kantaris summons. You go to the Arms Factory instead of the Pool.
For the AAB route, it happens if you don't shoot enough yellow guys at the very last section of the area. You go to down to the Lounge instead of the Helipad.
