This run can be trimmed down by at least 50 more seconds within reason but I don't think I'll be the person to do it. No speedrun will be perfect, mistakes will always happen and that's okay.
After 800 hours of playing this category, months and months of constant non-stop practice searching for new strategies or optimizations, countless personal sacrifices in my day-to-day life, I've finally hit my dream goal time.
May 14th 2022, when I first achieved the NG Normal WR I theorized that if optimized boss strategies and improved movement was found that a 1hr30runXXsec was barely possible. It took my 300 hours of grinding the speedrun to get to this point and to reach this mentality.
The next 500 hours were spent unlearning bad habits and re-learning how to hold the controller differently for easier jump cancels, finding improved animation cancels, optimized movement, and developing hand strength training to prevent injury.
I love this game so dearly and hope to see other people share the same level of passion that I do.
