My best run so far, beating my prior PB from the same stream by over a minute. There's still a lot I can implement (foresight slash and spacing it correctly, using parries to build spirit level in general, aiming for weak points and not just being lazy) to lower my time further, but I'm happy with this for now. My goal before the final game releases is sub-16 and potentially sub-15, but I'm fine if this is my final time since I never thought I'd get a run like this after not playing the series much for 6-7 years and getting back into it with the Rise demo. Shoutouts to comfykitty for being a very powerful and wise sensei who was patient with me and helped me get to this point.
