I didn't plan coming back to this game, but I couldn't resist trying to find new strats and push the game to sub 2:30:00. I'm done with this game for now, until someone beats this or major timesaves are found.

Overall, this is a great run that shows how much time my new strats can save. There were several mistakes, so this run is definitely beatable by using the same strats and playing better.

My biggest mistakes:
- At 58:37, I lost 15+ seconds because the robots before this fight intefered and prevented me from continuing until I killed them.
- At 59:53, I lost ~20 seconds because the Bo didn't want to get inside the elevator.
- At 1:02:19, I lost ~18 seconds because Bo & Faye didn't want to get inside the elevator (a common theme in this game).
- At 1:34:20, I lost ~27 seconds because I didn't kill the robot on the turret fast enough. If you kill it earlier, the next scene will trigger much faster.
- At 1:51:27, I lost ~88 seconds on the boss fight when compared to a perfect kill.
- At 2:27:19, I lost ~12 seconds because I missed the shot on the 3rd robot and got stunned.

This game can still be more optimized, as you could save time by:
- Skip equipping Nanomachines (takes ~8 seconds to equip one Nanomachine)
- Use less terminals (takes ~10 seconds or more each visit).
- Run past enemies instead of fighting them.
- General routing optimizations

Lastly, I fully believe that sub 2:20:00 is possible if someone would improve this route even further and playing good.
