My first advanced route run with no major mistakes! The first ever sub 2:50 that still gets Fire Tablet! I'm 2nd on the leaderboard at the time of writing!
You can listen to me reflection on the run at the very end, but this was an emotional roller-coaster to say the least. The start was good if mediocre. I ended up losing a bunch of time in Sei-an 2 due to a slow 2nd Sei-an Bridge Skip and Rao skip, but I made up that time by the end of the 2nd digging minigame. The rest of the run was mostly just capitalizing on major mistakes in my previous run to save tons of time. Very happy with this, but it's not over yet! I want at least one more decent PB before going for Fire Tablet Skip.
4th try CC skip btw.

My first PB in over 2 years! Ive 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.
Theres 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.
