Hi,
I have began working through the route for Any% and making a guide, and have just finished Chapter 5.
So far, the updates I have made to the route have included introducing Triple Tornado, Hail Storm and Knuckles Express as POW Moves used, and changing the shopping trip at the start of Chapter 3.
I’m posting this to say two things - firstly, I plan to finish this by the end of April, and secondly, if anyone has any ideas/suggestions about the route/guide, feel free to let me know :)
Update: Have 100% finished my notes on Chapters 1-9. All I need to do now is play them again to confirm my notes, then make notes on Chapter 10
Update: Have not worked much on this route over the last 6 months.
I'm going to get back on this in August / September time. I still have all the notes I made so it will be finished by October latest.

It’s done! First started this project in September 2017 so this is finished 3 years and 3 months after I started (and potentially 3 days also, because I believe I started on the 28th but I don’t know that for sure!).
The guide is very verbose, so please do not feel free to contact me for help via speedrun.com or discord if you need help understanding any of the guide.
Note: while this guide is mostly finished, there is ONE fight that might not be optimised. This is Fight #29 (Thelxe and Voxai Conspirator x2) - it is possible (although I don’t know for sure) that if the right Voxai Conspirator is defending, then you can get the fifth touch input wrong to avoid the “Perfect!” message at the end. Can someone please test this for me by saving before Fight #29 and repeatedly trying the fight (yes this is tedious I know) until the right Voxai Conspirator defends on their second turn and then getting the fifth touch input wrong and see what happens? Alternatively, if the left Voxai Conspirator defends on their first turn, you can get the fifth touch input wrong on the left Voxai Conspirator to see what happens. This note is at the bottom of the guide too!
