Fantastic run. Like holy shit this run was amazing.

Notable Timelosses / Timesaves:
- Ch07 - Typically an "improvisation" shitshow in JP. The JP version can easily lose almost a minute just from bad enemy stat rolls and/or bad gatrie misses. This run's went very well with lucky crits, Titania 1RKOing the lower left armor (she usually doesn't in JP), and Gatrie doubling both upper-left armors (again, random enemy stats - he often fails to double one of them). The only bad thing was Gatrie missing once, but it isn't a huge deal since Shinon has fast animations to mitigate timeloss.
- Ch17 - Tons of really lucky vantage OHKOs/crits/guards. Remember, the 255% crit glitch doesn't work on javelin, and 1-2 range is so important in PoR
- Ch18 - Got 6 out of 8 forge javelin vantage crit/guards (average is ~3.2) - needless to say, this also saved a ton of time
- Ch22 - Got all 3 meteor hits, which is (assuming equal biorhythm) about a 40%ish
- Ch23 - Archer blocked off a warrior from reaching Ike before Petrine, saving several seconds - random
- Ch25 - Marcia has a tendency to fail to 1RKO the top warrior (she fails if he rolls high hp/def), or miss the warrior or fighter because she's relying on the less accurate spear. This map went smoothly without a turnloss for once - and she got 3 out of 8 tanged vantage crit/guard procs, which is average
- Ch26 - Probably the ugliest execution mistake. I flat out forgot where Geoffrey was in the preps menu lol. But this run got past Bertram, which (at equal bio) has a 63% chance of success or else the run dies with no backup. Marcia must avoid Bertram's runesword, and the 255% crit glitch is what allows this much riskier 3 turn - in other words, he crit forge glitch makes the JP run mich less reliable than English, which goes for a very reliable 4 turn instead
- Lucky boss killing guard procs on Homasa, Petrine, and Gromell
- Of course, got the notorious Ashnard resolve/wrath crit too.
