My first speedrun performed in front of an audience, I only had two days of practice before-hand, so my time could definitely get lower. I had previously S Ranked all missions on DMD several months ago, so I had the skill the learn the run.
I deviated from the WR route to show off some neat strategies against bosses without Holy Water usage. So even with that dis-advantage, seeing it go as well as it did was all I could ask for.
Causes for concern on the validity of the run:
I don't quite understand the rule "The Untouchable and Holy Water before Mission 14 are allowed." I might've accidentally broken this rule due to a lack of information. If so I apologize. I potentially might've broken it by grabbing the Untouchable in Mission 13 instead of 14, grabbing it early.
On another note, the Real Time shown in the video is in-accurate, since I didn't skip the plane cutscene for around 30-40 seconds, thinking the run was over after the hud disappeared. This is according to how Maxylobes cuts the timer in his run, so I'm trusting him on this one.
Thus, I re-timed the very end to include the end cutscene in the real-time, er... time. This new time is what I submitted as my real time, not what's in the video.
Overall, I might've broken the "The Untouchable and Holy Water before Mission 14 are allowed." rule, but I'm still extremely proud of this run, and not cracking under pressure.
Twitch Highlight if the YT link isn't satisfactory:

In light of the news about twitch's highlights being an endangered species, the "twitch vod required for world record submissions" rule, which has been in place since 2019, was reconsidered. Unanimously, we have decided to remove this rule. Additionally, the rule requiring all PC runs to show inpu
