My A button actually started sticking while doing attempts (of which I finished like 2 before this, don't think I'm gonna bother submitting those), that is why you see me using bumpers instead (I re-bind both to A using Steam, as the sticking got really annoying)... either way, decent run imo, lots of improvement still possible, obviously, but I honestly think I'm more than fine with leaving it for now, maybe doing it as part of a Full Trilogy (+ Crash 4?) Any%, which I plan to do soon™

Yeah, btw, I split Great Hall right as I enter the portal, as opposed to the other levels, cuz I try to split on like the last input of a level, which is usually pressing A to continue after having crates dropped on you, but since Great Hall doesn't have any crates, I figured I will just split right after getting into the portal... then I realized I literally split bosses after the fade out instead of last input, so idk, might start doing that for Great Hall as well, just so my splits are actually accurate to what other people are doing :)
(sry for the paragraph lmao)
