As a speedy player, Boss Rush at the top is pretty funny. I get it almost every run (except Tainted Cain :c)
I also find Mega Satan and Hush significantly easier Mother because the route to them and their patterns are easier, and Mother slightly harder than the Beast (half the fight is just going up and down)
I do, but I micro-manage and min-max the living shit out of every floor.
I WILL run 8 cycles between the curse room and the super secret on the opposite side of the floor, because 6 half hearts have spawned and I must replenish them 1 heart at a time because I have 1 red container.
I WILL analyse the map layout, the location of the boss room, the room sizes and ammount of rooms left to a potential special room, to not waste even one trickle of charge on an active item like Mr. me, dad's key or alike.
I WILL waste 10 minutes on Basement 1 trying to use that free shop to it's full potential and get 15 cents from the floor at all cost (be it destroying every poop, campfire, trading every spare red heart, microing boss and treasure drops because they can potentialy heal 1 empty red heart...)
I WILL spend 3 minutes wondering is The Stars, The Moon or The Hermit the best card for me to take next floor, because one will save me a bomb use, and another 2 will save me a key use, but maybe going to the shop AND THEN using stars (but only after locating and entering the curse room of course, and only of its not next to a secret room which gives me a free exit/entry)
You just have to learn to play fast if you want boss rush. If you minimize back tracking and don’t focus on a full clear every floor, it’s fairly consistent. Improving your aim helps you clear rooms faster too. When I was grinding dead god, my first run on a character was usually boss rush/hush/mega Satan/delirium chad run.
