I've been hard at work getting all my clears with all the characters. I've gotten pretty far with all of them. Most of them are missing Boss Rush, Hush aNd Mega Satan. So I was wondering if there was a trick to getting to the Boss Rush and Hush, besides Mama Mega and/or being really fast.
What do you guys do to get there? Is it just situationnal, or you can get there easilly if you want it?

Unless I get a tragically horrible run of some sort, I have never had an issue reaching BR or Hush. Also depends on the character, since some are easier than others. Keeper runs tend to be slow because Keeper sucks. But I usually don't have an issue with Isaac or Cain for example.
Just practice I suppose.
I have yet to unlock Keeper, but I'm not in a hurry for him.
so basically it's up to practice. :)
Literally just practice, I make boss rush at least 70% of the time without aiming for it.
I should be around 280 hours, so I guess there is a lot of room to practice :)
It shouldn't be too hard to clear depths in 20 min if you have a decent run, you might need to change up your playstyle if you're having difficulty. Try setting benchmarks for clearing the various floors:
Basement ~5 min
Caves ~12 min
Depths ~20 min
Womb ~ 30 min
You'll need to balance being thorough enough to get to the various special rooms (treasure/shop/etc) and not trying to full-clear/ min-max every floor. It sounds like you have no issue defeating some of the harder bosses off your checklists, so this should be attainable for your level of skill. Good luck!
Mega Satan should be sought after in a different run than your BR/Hush runs. Prioritize the sacrifice rooms to guarantee early key pieces, find synergies to maximize play (Bloody Penny/Gimpy/etc). Alternatively, maximize angel room chance at every opportunity (donating/blowing up demon beggars). And always keep a bomb on hand!
Thank you for the insights. I'll keep all of thus in mind and ll find my balance.
Also, is there a way to check out the achievements I haven't unlocked yet. I did check the wiki, but it's basiccaly the whole list. So I have to go down the list one at a time, which is kind of a pain.
