The fall happened at the water boss. I got distracted by somebody irl and my entire zone or focus got lost, the rest of the run was pure anger and frustration, eager to finish what may have been such a better run.

As always, Traps found new ways to ruin everything, by giving me something that never happened in almost 27 years of playing this game.

My controller gave up on me at the beginning of Stage 7.

I got so nervous and pissed off at the end that I failed against the Ninja Master where stress and a lot of frustration had me forget my strats.

Love this run. It's barely better than my horrible PB on Expert, standing at a 5 minutes difference for 2 levels of difficulty lower.

I love this game.
