"There is a big likelihood that this will be my very last 8-4 IL PB ever, unless I can figure out 8-B first room." - Quote from 8/15/21, in my 8-D description. Literally just a month ago, achieving this time was completely out of reach, and I hadn't even gotten a single 8-B first room at that point. It was around that same time when I started to look into trying out 8-B on controller, then switching to keyboard to play the rest using a program called JoyToKey. Thanks to this, not only was 8-D not my last 8-4 IL PB ever, but something that felt like a complete dream in the past turned into reality! It has been a long and wild ride to get to this point in this category, improving frame by frame for over 2 years, and now I can finally say that I no longer have to grind this category. This is THE perfect 8-4 IL speedrun, and this will never be beaten with no L+R by TAS or human unless a brand new timesave is found! This also maxes out / ties TAS for my sum of best as well with a 4:54.265!

Biggest thanks to these people: samm_1703, for being generous enough to give me the controller I used in this run, honestly not sure if I would've gotten this without him; LeKukie & Tree, for not only inspiring me to try out 8-B first room and make my dreams a reality, but also for being incredibly cracked at 8-4 IL and just being inspiring and awesome in general! I could go on for paragraphs upon paragraphs thanking others, but I don't want this description to be crazy long, so extra thanks to those who supported me and kept me positive during this journey, and to my amazing friends, you all know who you are :)
