One last improvement for the day. If you're wondering how I was able to raise stats so quickly, I had mouse wheel bound to left-click and right-click. I used this only in the character select screen, not during the run.

The video had 1:51 for my timing standard. If we go by character control:

Timer was on 9.54 for initial input box. Timer was on 1:51.62 for cursor change.

This puts me at 1:42 if I use character control as the timing standard.
