Third edit:
DSDQ VIDEO HERE

Second edit:
Thanks to all who participated in this process, I'll be handling the administrative parts and recording it and you can expect a DSDQ video up by the end of the summer. You guys are awesome, getting the total time for all 108 scenes down to under 46 minutes-an average of 25.56 seconds per scene.

First edit:
Alright, now that all 108 are done, here's what I need from the contributors (this can be PMed, but I need it before submission):
How you want to be referred to on SDA: The standard is first name "username" last name, but the real name is optional. keep this PG-13 guys.
Comments on the table as a whole (optional): this can be literally whatever, from comments on favorite ILs to sometihng completely unrelated.

Remember, you are all the man [/SDA-ism]

Original post:
So, it's an idea I've been bouncing around for a while, and since the school year is over for me, I've decided to go ahead with it. You may or may not know this, but I'm a pretty active member over at speeddemosarchive.com, and I've decided I want to work on an IL (individual level) table for Double Spoiler to submit. The thing is, I know that someone will almost definitely be able to do it better, and I want it to be the best it can be. So, I was hoping to garner enough interest between here and there to, between the forums, complete a submittable table. Every scene must be completed, using Aya (or Hatate, but that'd be a separate category outside of SP5-9), as quickly as humanly possible. So, what I need anyone who's interested in helping out with this to do is make a replay of yourself doing any scene in the game as fast as you can. Then you post it here or link to it, and I can compile them into a folder. I will be tracking current bests in the second post.

Just so you know, IL tables on SDA are often filled by multiple people, so yes, you will be credited for the work you put in. A short comment on each scene (perhaps attempt count, strategy discovery or the like) would be appreciated but it's not required.

So, who's with me in this undertaking?!

Well this will be a good excuse to redo all of the DS scenes, since most of my data vanished a while ago.

As it happens, I still have all of the replays from stage 7 and up, so I can just throw them all together I suppose. Maybe some will turn out to be fast. (And hopefully I attached them correctly.)

I'm not sure if the names of the replays are at all helpful, but they should be in the right order at least.

I'll try to make my posts shorter, sorry for the double post.
Attached a zip contains replays of 5-4, 6-7, 7-4, 8-8, 9-5 and 12-1
Filenames state the scene number and time left.

5-4, 94.72 Went out of charging too soon for the last shot, but it was pretty good attempt overall.
6-7, 97.73 This scene is just silly.
7-4 89.99 I managed to get two shots off during the first cycle once.. but the second missed Nazrin. I'm satisfied with this strategy though, it's a fair bit faster than the normal way.
8-8, 91.29 Not the best time, can be improved. I like the strategy though.
9-5. 102.38 No missed shots and no screen warping is good.
12-1, 175.63 This scene is also silly, could have been faster.

The fourth and fifth shots are slightly tricky since Minoriko is just out of reach. Entering the very edge of the bullets is needed to take those shots quickly. Sub-97 should be doable.

This one depends a lot on Minoriko's random movements. I captured almost all of the red bullets on the first shot and captured all of the red bullets as they spawned on the second shot.

Sub-70 BV A lot of luck involved since double focus makes it hard to dodge all the bullets. I realized it was helpful or even necessary to stay close to Shizuha so that I could capture more bullets and thus charge faster.

Funny, because I just improved it with a 97.87.

And then I did this.

It's even funnier because this isn't optimal. Proof being that I took pictures so fast one time I literally went ahead of the pattern and died due to the superfast stuff. Yeeeaaaaaaah.

e: Trying to improve this, I just did 98:00 again. Twice. In a row. That makes it three times and no improvement.

Goddammit I keep going too fast.

An improvement is definitely humanly possible because it is humanly possible to fluke your way through the superfast stuff.

It happened once. Which is enough to prove that it can happen five times.

I was delayed a bit by the micro-dodging before the second shot, so there's room for improvement here.

2-3: 90.32 s
This one isn't too speed-friendly. I waited to take the third shot so I could cancel some hearts. A faster run would have a bit more dodging to do.

Have to get lucky with how the bullets form. Staying in the middle makes it easier to catch Hina when she's on the sides.

The third shot is probably the hardest. Changing direction midway through the bullets helps.

2-6: 100.22 s
This one really punishes speed. The blue bullets are aimed in some way, but I'm not sure if there is always a bullet aimed directly at your hitbox or not. I eventually found that you could tap your way through the blue waves, but it's hard to do 2.5 times in a row.

Going through stone buddies like they were no thing.

Their hotboxes actually make this deceptively tight. Not to mention, the bullets that spawn from beneath can potentially box you in if you're not careful.

Survival wasn't a trivial thing so some of my shots weren't lightning-fast, meaning this can be improved.
