I got the WR back after WAY too long!
I lost a second in CP, but gained it back in SAM. I lost a lot of time from missing the trickjump in L city twice, but only exited a second behind because CB09 used safe strats in L city. And in BSF, I gained 6 seconds. This is because I played really risky despite my pace (I didn't realize I was actually close to WR because of L city), and got perfect RNG in the final bossfight. I also got a 8m 52s time that I ended up not sharing. It is now deleted. Either way, I think 8:3x is possible, and I hope it gets achieved.
Mod note: Used lag abuse by accident. Boss battle was retimed using RTA.
CB09 gave us the first sub 9 in SMFS4 History. I don't have anything else to add here, congratulations CB09. Typo in title oops
