First ever completed low% done segmented !
This was not so much a speedrun but a first time completion of the category so I took my time and dithered about a bit, though overal I did most stuff pretty well. I was dreading the Queen because if she gives bad patterns you pretty much have to abandon the fight immediately. I got very lucky with the Queen. The fact she gave me the best patterns possible, while not rare by any means, is all the more important when you consider she kept giving them to me after each attempt. Every attack after round 2 was an open mouth one. See in round 3 onwards she is more aggresive so you can't dodge her like the first 2 rounds, so you're pretty much hoping for her to open her mouth on every attack to stop her in her tracks. We believe her patterns are locked to a save file and this is something I've been thinking when practicing the queen from a savestate on an emulator before. How she'd behave exactly the same unless I went out my way to try and manipulate her to do something else. Omegas have similar distributed patterns governed by a save too I'm pretty sure. So it's a scary proposition to realise this now that if the patterns were bad then you may have to start the run all over. I can't be more thankful. It felt great to do this run, and under 2 hours too !

4th PB.
Previous PBs were: 1hr 3s, 5935 and 5859.
Quite happy with this. Even though Id only put in 30 odd attempts my golds were already strong and sum of best a 58:2x. 57 feels a little too far off to be considered but probably possible. Notable mistakes though are:
DM - 2nd try bridge jump
Hive - 2nd try soldier boost, slow kills on final two mantids.
Lair - Missed water gate shot
Lightship - 3rd try wall glitch for ledge grab")
