British Columbia, Canada@joyful_stone not really, its just a really precise setup that takes a lot of attempts to get right. It took me a while to get this once.
What KilleDragon said is incorrect, we use a load retimer tool made by TheCodingBoy multiple years ago in order to remove every frame of black screen (and level banners). Using an editing tool to retime is ineffecient and inaccurate, and is never used. As Shadowbrine1 said, the mods and certain members of the Discord server will retime runs, and you do not need to worry about the methods or doing it yourself unless you feel like learning, since using the tool and sending the retime file to the mods makes the job much faster.
I personally think that the option of creating a new sub-category for using Cyborg and not using Cyborg is the best option as the fights are the most interesting parts of the run for me personally, especially the Sa-Matra fight. I cannot deny that Any% should be the fastest completion without cheating, and technically Cyborg is the fastest, so I think splitting the category is the best choice as of now. I believe the default should still be no Cyborg because overall it just seems like a more interesting category and the category with many more runs as of now.
Wanted to clarify it took 10 hours to get this IL, not the entire sweep. The entire sweep was a long and hard effort.
