Hey - I had a few questions and comments about save file seeding. Having a save file with fewer things unlocked helps make it easier to get the build you want. You can go even further and grind out a save file to get the memories that you want, and then do runs by unlocking them at the robot (FR3ND 4EV3R). You then get to equip them immediately for a complete build at the start.

It's also fairly trivial to backup the save and restore it after a run to repeat the process.

I tried this and got this Any% run. The biggest timesave is honestly not having to menu. Ever.

Having a set start does feel like a different experience from an unseeded run - I would recommend having a subcategory to distinguish this (seeded vs. unseeded perhaps). What do y'all think?

(Also should there be a speedrun discord? I joined the main Windblown DC but there's no speedrunning channel on there)

In the arena before the box, you can skip the second wave by killing the 2 grunts in wave 1 at the same time, as seen here (timestamp 5:07 in the video) -
