Here is my first REAL official RE9 run!
The autosplitter once again wasn't properly set up, but the only issue this time was not splitting on Hope, but it still ended at the end of the game. So that's fine.
My original first run was technically against the rules, as FPS wasn't showing (as there's a 120fps cap). So FPS is showing, and this run should be valid since the mod didn't point anything else out.
This is still a trash run, but I'm glad to finally start getting somewhere half decent.

Category breakdown, for those who may not know:
- No Intro:
There are 2 categories. Full Game and No Intro.
Full Game is the base game
No Intro skips the intro, and by extension, allows you to skip the entire orphanage segment, where you play as Chloe (since both parts involve doing basically nothing).
- NIA:
NIA stands for No Infinite Ammo, as that is one of the most op cheats.
Most of the other cheats are allowed, but infinite ammo changes too much of the game, as everything can be blasted with the Requiem.
- NG+:
New Game+ doesn't actually exist in the same way other games do, but it allows you to buy all weapons and equipment from any box, and there is more boxes to buy from.
Additionally, you are allowed to (optionally) start with a lighter and bottle as Grace, and can start with the 5000 and 3000 point bands as Leon.
The NG+ categories also only allow you to do Casual and Insanity mode.
- PC
As for playing on PC, there are a couple of mods that are allowed, and the livesplit autosplitter makes it easier to time runs with LRT, compared to the console rules where RTA is used.

As for the run itself:
I play too carefully, and I did not need the extra inventory space as Grace, but I didn't want to take too many risks. I should limit myself to 1 pouch at most. Though, 0 is the standard
I had a rough time with Chunk skip, and didn't have the ammo for the Chunk fight. Was way too slow on the spider, and probably need to improve on the Hunk fight.
There are a ton of areas I could've simply done better, but those are the parts I'd say I was more upset about.
