This is a run I've been grinding for for quite some time (it was a stretch goal of mine back when I had like 2+, minute times, although obviously not an immediate concern then lol) and I'm extremely happy to have finally gotten it. At the time I got this, I'm the 5th person to have ever gotten sub 1:40 in celeste classic, and I'm the 3rd fastest person in the world. I probably won't try to beat this; I certainly won't for a while. My only real reason for pushing myself to this time is that I've wanted sub 1:40 for so long and I absolutely hate the idea of ending with a 1:40.xx since it's so close to such an important time barrier. I won't say I can't come back; there are a *lot* of timesaves to be had over this run (900 rng, 1400 was complete garbage, a lot of other small things) and I'm not doing every strat I could be doing. However, if I do come back, it will be far in the future, and with much less intensity than this grind. For now, at least, I'm happy with what I have, and I look forward to being able to work on mods and tases without having to worry about my vanilla pb.
The run I compared against was a 1:41.80; this was not my previous pb, it's just a run that I've gotten used to comparing against, so I know how good it is to save certain amounts of time, and it's close enough on most levels to at least not be a terrible comparison. If I ever do go for a lower time, I'll probably use this run's splits, especially because I love comparing against runs with bad 900 rng.
