1 minute 28 pb jump, this will never happen again. I should've finished a run with a r1 tyson a long time ago but I'm really glad that my first ended up achieving my ultimate goal of sub 17! just completely skipped past getting a sub 18, and I get to have a dark blue name now.
hippo has like 25 seconds worth of improvement if I get consistent enough at manippo. half his opens were manipped yet it took 6 more closes for him to open twice more. technically a 25 second mistake not getting the cycle on punch 2 but it should've been a sub 1 anyways tbh.
honda 2 low fill but worst star luck, run wouldn't have happened without 2 good soda delays into bull 2 misdirect for the gold split. don 2 always has room for improvement, and the 2 missed gutters on sandy cost probably 7 seconds. gold split macho with no spinsuckers but without 30+3 I dont think I couldve done much better.
tyson's probably where most the room for improvement will be on the road to sub 16. I'm happy with how many uppers I hit and am damn glad I clutched out this pace. guess it helped that I don't run with splits as I would've probably been more nervous had I thought this was sub 17 pace.
just watched the recording and there's significant lag during sandy p1, I don't think there's much I could've done to prevent it. hope the run's still verifiable, I'm really proud of this one and it sucks if I can't be on the leaderboard for such a stupid reason lol (though I totally get it, I think I'm putting the mods in a bit of a weird spot here)
this is probably gonna stay as my pb for awhile seeing as I'm gonna take a break. it's a long way to sub 16 and I'll probably get a few less satisfying minor pbs along the way. also kinda funny that both my latest submitted pbs had a decimal obtainable in the actual game lol. a lot of writing on this one, just wanted to write my thoughts somewhere for future me to look back at :)
