That's okay, I'll start working on a recording setup soon.

Thank you for the help! So just to be clear, I should go ahead and post my current PB right now, then send in the recording next time I PB

I am new to the site, and wanted to submit my SMO any%, (its pretty bad, 1:38:52) but I feel like a new runner with a time less then 10 minutes from the video requirement line will gain suspicion. Either way, I would like to start recording my runs, but I don't have a capture card. Is finding a way to prop my phone up to watch my Switch screen (I'll just play in tabletop mode) the best way, or is there a better option? (I have a 6+, camera quality is decent enough)

What everyone said above sums it all up, but my most important tip to reiterate is to not reset your runs too much in the beginning. Also, (I'm not sure how this game works, so this may not apply) don't go for WR tricks right away or anything. sometimes making your own route is sufficient, but maybe watch some lower-level runs so you aren't holding yourself to 1st place standards.
