This run is pretty much just what I was looking for right now. The encounter RNG was amazing, and the stages were generally enough, but there's time to gain in just about all of them. There were two unintentional deaths in this run too, but they both in absolutely perfect spots such that their time loss impact was minimal. The only thing left to do is try to get a grasp of Bridge Skip so I can give myself a chance to grind my way onto the podium.
