4:35 igt

Cannot believe that out of all the attempts I did this was the run that made it. Between a hilariously awful Waterfall, back-to-back Monster Houses in Crystal Crossing and overall mediocrity of the pace, the run was turning into more of a Chespin routing stream in Super rather than a serious sub 5h attempt in Sky. Hell, it even became a dev stream for a bit as I implemented a new idea for the WM generator.

However, things changed starting Lower Brine as I golded that and every split in Ch19, bringing me suddenly well over a minute ahead target pace. Tower and Spire were decent enough and with 9 Revives into Dialga, I was able to confidently do the offscreen fight and finish the run not only with a sub 5:00:00, but also sub 4:59:00 thanks to one of the most insane lategames ever.
