Whenever I try to speedrun Chapter 1, the autosplitter does not work when opening from Chapter 1+2. When opening from Survey_Program, nothing else works.

How can I still have the Autosplitter work for Chapter 1 speedruns?

Obviously you shouldn't play on versions 1.16.2 or later due to the reduced pearl rates. But what about 1.16? Is there any significant difference between 1.16 and 1.16.1?

From viewing the King fights from the top runs, they only do a Kris-Susie joint FIGHT, leaving out Ralsei, once, near the beginning. After that, either all three attack, or Kris and Susie ACT to use Red Buster while Ralsei DEFENDs.

So I wondered: since DEFENDing gives the team a 16% TP boost, would it potentially be worth it to only DEFEND with Ralsei in the King fight? Or would Ralsei's damage output be worth it?

Or does it depend on how good you are at gathering TP?

Time starts on first movement on new profile. Time ends when reaching Y202 on the top of the mountain.

What do you guys think?
