My first PB in over 2 years! I've had very little time to run in all this time, but I was finally able to practice enough to not flub the huge advantage I had over my last PB from all the new tricks and optimizations discovered since then.
There's a lot to improve from here. In terms of major time losses, those are:
-Ryo Stair Clip (30s)
-Blockhead Clip (2m)
-Fire Tablet Skip (3m)
-Shinshu Plateau Demon Boost (47s) (I actually got this really quickly... and then slipped off the plateau trying to jump up to the thunderdome -_-)
-Oki Skip (I lost 70s on this split, though a big part of that was trying to figure out a way to lose negative godhood)
-Wawku Cannon Room (1m)
A lot of the rest of the time loss comes down to general sloppiness: suboptimal movement, early/late cutscene skips, bad fights, slow brushing, etc.. That level of confidence will come if and when I do more and more runs.
Turbo start was used to skip cutscenes. Turbo jump was used primarily to swim faster and occasionally to jump immediately after landing.

![Okami in 2:04:17 - NG Any% Speedrun [PB]
A small improvement over the last run. I saved a lot of time in places like Blockhead Clip and Fire Tablet Skip, but I also lost a lot of time:
-Wawku Defrost boosts (almost 3m)
-CC Skip (50s)
-Awesome Skip (80s)
-Wawku Cannon Room (almost 2m, though that was largely to do with using all Inkfinity stones on the defrost boosts)
-Ryo Stair clip (1m)
-Paper Clip into Tsuta (1m)
And just general slop overall.
Turbo start was used to skip cutscenes. Turbo jump was used primarily to swim faster and occasionally to jump immediately after landing.

![Okami in 2:25:09 - New Game Any% Speedrun [Former World Record]
This time was beaten by me on March 28 (https://youtu.be/k88UtutOe3g).
This run was really bad in a variety of ways, but the tab skips went really well. Tab Skip 1 was literally first try, which I never expected to happen for me so soon. I did have some good moments, but there were a lot of categorical errors in this run that very nearly ended it (mainly failing the acid swim in Water Dragon and forgetting to upgrade the wallet the whole run). Theres a long way to go before I have a run I really like here.
This run beats the previous WR by Krinoteder (2h 25m 57s https://youtu.be/zwGx7p1IfkI) by 48 seconds. Im very lucky he didnt lower the time much further because he definitely could have =p
