This run was a lot of fun. I did manage to fix many of the mistakes of the previous WR, but a fair number of things did go wrong, keeping it pretty tense all the way to the very end.

The main thing that saved this run was a much faster 2nd Fire Tablet Skip, along with some cleaner play in various areas. This run was actually up to 1m 12s ahead at the end of Orochi Phase 1 on the Ark of Yamato, but then phase 2 went terrifically wrong, causing me to end up only 23s ahead at the very end.

This run beats the previous wr by me (2h 28m 30s ) by 23s.

This run was originally intended to just be commentary practice for the speedrunning marathon I was accepted to, Midfall Speedball (https://horaro.org/mfsb2019/schedule). This run is literally this Saturday, so chances are it's already past by the time you're reading this. Feel free to try to find the VOD though, I'm sure it will be very fun!

Once the marathon is over, I'll probably do some NG All Brushes runs, as I've mostly finished routing that category.
