Thanks, I really appreciate all the help so far, I definitely need to polish and optimize my performance, since I've been out of the scene for a minute, my practice run was really bad xD

I appreciate all the info, this'll help out a ton. I'll probably do a hs run now, just to hold as a basis of improvement

I know it's probably pretty redundant seeing these posts, but I just wanted to say hi! I've been casually speedrunning this game for years, and I'm well aquainted with most of the basic tech, but after watching talon run hero story at SGDQ I decided I wanted to get serious about it. I either play the gc sa2b version or the pc steam version I have a few questions about where to learn various things, for instance: I'd like to learn all the master emerald locations so I could begin memorizing them.

anyways nice to meet you all
