Deathless, and the only major mistake was a menu error on the Asteroid/Soh Jin menu choice. Lost about 15-25 seconds to that and another 10-15 on the bonus levels.

I think this category might be able to get around 1:02 and change with very optimized bosses and menuing, but this might be the best I can do for now.

Here's my loadout:

Special: SDF Main Cannon Front: Laser Back: Sonic Wave SideKicks: Plasma Storm

I've added corrected splits now as well!

(mod: splits start early, so 3s saved there, run itself starts at 6:54 of the video).
