1 second pbs aren't normally a cause for celebration for me but this one has taken a while so it felt good to break the ice with this. Not much to say here, just a good run and it beat the previous pb with an inferior set of phantoon patterns (mid-fast vs fast-fast). This was world record pace in Tourian and while it was a good Tourian overall there's a couple of things you can point the blame to for this not making it: Zeb skip being as unruly as ever, having to wait to shoot MB1 due to the turret, MB 3 shot misses/bad fight end position, parlor mistake.

This game is awesome, the music especially.
Decided to run this as a pleasant side quest away from SM as it was another game from my childhood. As it stands I ended up putting a ton of time into it, using the TAS done by CoolJay in 19 minutes and 18 seconds as a reference for much of the movement and strats, barring the insane stuff. I narrowly missed out on a 21:1x here if Id just played a bit more risky in the final level not collecting a body armour and not getting screwed by a few little things but thats ok. A 20 should be possible with a dedicated lengthy grind and if the player has crazy consistency with the frame perfect rope jumping and some other stuff maybe but otherwise pretty happy with this achieving the goal of sub 2130.
Also I should point out level 1 (Docks) is by far the most volatile with the RNG where the run can die in a variety of ways. The resets were mounting up and I started getting irritated badly. Eventually I started continuing runs with less than steller paces. This pace out of Docks was one of those where my gold is a full 10 seconds faster than this. Had this been in the red I mightve been tempted to reset. My golds on Sewers and Shopping Mall are also 5 seconds better than those in this run, while Police Station was just 2 seconds slower than gold. Apartments was the standout here with the gold but fun fact, I actually golded this level in the previous run with a slightly faster pace, -12. I ended up softlocking in the Sewers after a gunner shot me clipping me into a wall where I couldnt move. Incredibly bad luck! This follow up gold and finished run was a bit of redemption.")
