I am speedrunning the single stage, or individual level. I am trying to get a record on that one level. Due to GoldenEye 007's in game timer, this is traditionally how the game is speedrun, and is how the world rankings are ranked on the-elite.net. Most World Records on single stages take several hundred hours of grinding on the same level to achieve. The level of competition in GE 007 is extremely high and as a result in order to get a good record, you need to be as close to frame perfect for every moment in the run. Any minor mistake necessarily means I must restart the attempt, or I will not beat my record.
No I am not Japanese. I am playing the Japanese-NTSC version because it has some benefits in comparison to the English-NTSC version. The Japanese version did not remove any body armours for 00 Agent, so on some levels, including Caverns 00 Agent, the consistency in surviving a run increases by approx ~10000%. Some other levels with key body armours are Silo and Bunker 2. In consequence, these body armours make full game 00 Agent and 100% speedruns much easier to complete. If you want to be a world class competitor in full game runs or Caverns 00 Agent, you will require the NTSC-Japanese version of GoldenEye 007.
Some other positive differences include NTSC-JP having better auto aim and a less laggy watch laser on Train. Some negative differences include more accurate guards, and more lag overall.
