After checking this a couple of times I'm fairly sure this is a very high 9:58, but if it's a 9:59 call me out on it and I'll change it. Either way it's pretty negligible. This was a pretty solid run except for one choke at the reverse gate trick. I can never get this to work first try anymore for some reason, so i lost about 13-14 seconds there. 9:4x would probably finalize the category for me, with 9:3x being doable but extremely hard and totally RNG dependant. I may return to this one day but for now I'm content that I got the sub 10 in a flawed but otherwise decent run.
Apologies for the graphical spaz attack right after collecting the Norfair ET. The flash pen has always had a tendency to do that at random moments.

Previous pbs leading up to this one: 13120, 13054, 12959 and 12951. The 129 was easier to achieve than initially thought as I found a massive route change for backtrack segment that saves 20 seconds. Entering the Lair for Heart of Fire immediately after Mother boss and thus only needing a total of 3 checkpoint visits as you travel across the levels and finishing with the Hive to kill the Queen before Primagen. As I kept grinding this I could see a 128 possibility along with my sum of best getting as low as 1282x as well. I even had one such run reaching the Lightship with 12848 best possible pace which unfortunately died unceremoniously but my main goal for a while though was to get a mid 129 as I felt that would be satisfactory. As mentioned most runs, especially runs on pace on Hardcore can die in extremely abrupt ways and it was starting to wear on me a bit. This run is by no means particularly brilliant to me. Its a run of two halves with the first being mediocre containing weird mistakes with the 2nd half much better and golding backtrack, sealing the deal on the mid 129. To sum it up im both happy that I achieved the goal but not entirely happy with the overal performance.")
