A while ago, a video popped up in my recommendations. It was a video someone uploaded, related to Quest for Bread. It was a speedrun, and it was good, too.
Anyway, I thought I might as well put in a few attempts, since the full game is right around the corner.

I also found out that there are a total of 3 other players who have speedran this game (excluding myself), and they all seem to use the same timing method that I originally used. Being starting when you press the "Play Demo" button, and ends when you beat Calli.
According to this timing method, I beat DiabloFG by literally 1 frame. I timed their run more precisely, and it was 2;40.86. Here is their run, if you'd like to see it. youtube.com/watch?v=ju3Xgeyjhzg (as far as I'm aware, this is the current (now former) WR)

Diablo is admittedly much better at the Calli fight than I am, and that's where they excel the most. From the start of the run, all the way to reaching the door to the boss fight, my time was 1;18, and their time was 1;24. The Calli fight took me 1;22, and took them 1;16.
If it wasn't for their movement being worse than mine, I'd be unable to compete against them.
But to give them credit where it's due, they clearly looked like they were going to do good strats, but just messed them up, which happens to the best of us.

As I've talked about in previous videos, I am trying my best to transition to Linux (I use Arch, btw), and with that, I've also been using a timer called OpenSpeedRun. The way I start the timer is by pressing Ctrl + Shift + 0, and I split with Ctrl + Shift + 9. Because of this, I started the timer late, and I accidentally pressed Ctrl + Shift + 8 (which is reset), so I accidentally reset the timer at the end. But none of that matters, since I still retimed it in post, so it is still accurate.
