Comment on run:
Section 1 is good, as always, I'm not very interested in Section 1 itself anymore, but 1 and 2 combined are important to me. The leanings first turns were good, 7 stunts was good, turn after Mushroom bounce was a small time loss, but .949 is excellent, too bad I lost all the time gained on the Ghost as soon as Section 2 starts.

Section 2 is as always SUPER weird. I lost all the time saved vs Ghost immidiately as this Section started, and lost even more as I landed the first Glider, this happens from time to time and is normally not a big deal because I know I can get most lost time back on the next Glider's Glider boost. The point where it gets weird is when I missed the Super Mini Turbo after the Glider bounce, the thing was that I knew I couldn't stunt through the wavy part if I continued with the Super Mini Turbo and if I tried going on the right of the hole, I knew I'd lose time, which is what usually happens. Also in the back of my mind was that the angle I looked quite dangerous and if I continued with it, there was potential to completely fail this run on the spot. That is why I did a regular Mini Turbo, sacrificing all the time ahead of the Ghost. In the end I got very lucky with my Moon landing, stunt over the crator, wallboost and a tiny optimisation right before Section 3 that made me go toe-to-toe with the Ghost in the end.

Section 3 is good, I was toe-to-toe with my Ghost at the start, as always started losing a little bit of time once in the barrel for whatever reason.. Like I said in my previous WR, Section 3 new barrel strat takes luck and skill combined, I was shot out of the canon at a little bit of a worse angle because I was slightly slower than my Ghost, this gives more of a challenge when trying to do a good Glider boost. This run made me realise how perfect the Glider boost was in my previous WR, I've tried recreating that amazing Glider boost, but I always ended up failing it for various reasons, so as I saw myself in the air, I tried to go for a much safer, slower method of doing the Glider boost, which led to some time loss, but I knew I could win back time on the final SC. I've been practicing the final SC a lot recently, I knew I could beat my time at the very end, while being behind the Ghost, I was almost uncertain whether I was going to make the final SC as good as I intended in mid air, but I landed it almost perfectly, panicked a bit and finished the run quite fine.

First World Record with a 31.949 Section 1 and second World Record & PR ever with a 28.8XX Section 3. :)

Q: Is 1:35.9 possible?
A: As always, I'm not sure because of how the position of the wavy part and barrel changes dependant on how fast you are... I honestly think the human skill limit is at 1:36.080 right now, but remember that I've been wrong on things before...

Q: Will someone beat you?
A: At some point, maybe... Roronoa91 has been talking about how he's going to return one day. I have had no contact with Monar, ToReln and Sherry recently though.

Q: Will you continue playing?
A: Actually yes, I recently got a WR fail you can see here:
