Considering how close skylerzx's WR is and ImPunBeatable's second place is (being just barely a little more than a tenth of a second off.), it really shows that the time save left is really down to tight optimizations. Considering I have both runs' times here (as I just retimed their respective loads removed times), I thought I might share where these players gained and lost time.
Below will be a list of each loadless section chunked off into each part. I will be shortening skylerzx to just "Sky" and ImPunBeatable to just "Pun" for convenience sake. I'll also show who has the lead, and how much they're leading next to each split's name.
- Start - Sky: -0.933 sec
Sky: 1.767 sec
Pun: 2.7 sec
- Obby - Sky: -2.167 sec
Sky: 32.633 sec
Pun: 33.867 sec
- Menu 1 - Sky: -2.067 sec
Sky: 1.267 sec
Pun: 1.167 sec
- Game Selection 1 - Sky: -1.767 sec
Sky: 1.867 sec
Pun: 1.567 sec
- Story Game - Sky: -2.164 sec
Sky: 39.933 sec
Pun: 40.33 sec
- Menu 2 - Sky: -2.331 sec
Sky: 1.233 sec
Pun: 1.4 sec
- Game Selection 2 - Sky: -2.331 sec
Sky: 1.833 sec
Pun: 1.833 sec
The players diverge here. Pun goes Prison, then Tycoon, and Sky goes Tycoon, then Prison. For consistency sake, we're going to follow Sky's route, and plug Pun's numbers in. Just thought I would point that out.
- Tycoon - Sky: -2.398 sec
Sky: 1 min 26 sec
Pun: 1 min 26.067 sec
- Menu 3 - Sky: -1.532 sec
Sky: 2.033 sec
Pun: 1.167 sec
- Game Selection 3 - Sky: -0.632 sec
Sky: 2.133 sec
Pun: 1.233 sec
- Prison - Sky: -0.766 sec
Sky: 11.733 sec
Pun: 11.867 sec
- Prison Recap - Sky: -0.666 sec
Sky: 6.600 sec
Pun: 6.500 sec
- Menu 4 - Sky: -0.866 sec
Sky: 1.333 sec
Pun: 1.533 sec
At this point, both routes have reconvened and are going the same path again.
- Game Selection 4 - Sky: -0.599 sec
Sky: 2.5 sec
Pun: 2.233 sec
- Simulator - Sky: -0.466 sec
Sky: 5.533 sec
Pun: 5.400 sec
- Menu 5 - Sky: -0.4 sec
Sky: 2.833 sec
Pun: 2.767 sec
- End - Sky: -0.133 sec
Sky: 25.7 sec
Pun: 25.433 sec
Most of skylerzx's time save came from the first half of the run, being the highest at the Tycoon split, where he was 2.398 seconds ahead of ImPunBeatable's time. However, through better menu-ing, ImPunBeatable managed to slowly chip away at skylerzx's lead. (I'm going to be frank with you, I did a calculation error somewhere, as skylerzx's time was -0.136 seconds ahead of ImPunBeatable, but I'm lazy and I'm not going to find it.)
Congrats to skylerzx for setting the new WR, and congrats to ImPunBeatable for being the first person to take the record away from skylerzx. Can't wait to see where the time goes from here.
