You'll see some mistakes in this run, and you'll see some pretty clutch and interesting things as well. This is the culmination of over 2 years of practice, strat finding, optimising and simply messing around in the game. Here's some history about why this run means a lot to me.

I began practicing this game in January 2016, when the record was 1:13:44 by SuperSqank. During the first 6 months of running I barely recorded, using a phone wedged in a lego scaffold to record and stream my runs at an awful bitrate. I first held the WR for this category on July 5th, 2016, with a 1:02:08 - mainly due to my discovery of new Cobalia, Jasindu ship-to-boss and minor optimisations that added up.

It took over a year for me to consider running again, and on August 1st, 2017, I achieved a 58:30 - a significant milestone aided by better loads on the digital copy of the game, given to me by Symph. I pushed this down to 55:55 in October, but quit the category due to continuous crashes on Kreeli.

Since then, we have allowed the use of SSD for better loads and the discovery of new Nundac, Kreeli Clank Skip and new Igliak gave me motivation to come back for a superior time. My end goal was 50:xx, but I proved with this run that you can always exceed your expectations if you practice, practice, and practice some more until you begin to love practice more than you love running.

Maybe it takes just one person to flip a speedgame on its head - but I have to thank everyone who contributed to the run in any small part - including Slaughter, Sqank, Rabbit, Pat, User, Killa, Nano, Symph and Psi.

If I stood atop the shoulders of giants in 2016, I hope someone new stands on my shoulders in future.
