Despite how wacky it sounds, of all challenge runs to repeat, this is actually the third time I've done a (recorded) Pacifist run; I did a segmented run around 2016 (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiGDBCbRlC2eLl9VuJSgBhD55rrxgrKs), an excellent single segment run in 2018 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbIADoYBGs4), and now this fresh attempt on PC. It didn't take too long to prepare, though I had to backtrack and double check old footage as I never actually wrote full notes for some Godforsaken reason.

Here is a modified version of the description used during the stream:
*The goal is to kill as few enemies as possible. Obviously, you can't get away with zero kills, so "Pacifist" isn't quite a perfect name, but it's a snappier name than something like "Fewest Kills Run."
*The total kill amount is based on each chapter kill counter; the in-game counter is a little strange, seemingly not counting everything, but this doesn't affect the run itself.
*The column on the right side of the splits shows the kill count for each chapter, only updated at the end of the chapter when the count is shown. The big number at the bottom is the total amount of kills up to that point.
*A Smile simply exploding (by dodge rolling/baiting it) does not count as a kill; it only counts when I'm deliberately attacking a Smile to make it die (besides the aforementioned counting weirdness).
*This is a challenge run, not a real speed run category.
*There is a small real-time timer at the very bottom, out of curiosity.
*The route is semi-mapped out with some flexibility, though certainly not optimized.

Everything went really well. More so than a speed run, improvisation in bad situations is absolutely vital in this type of challenge, and despite some hitches here and there, I managed to bounce back pretty well with everything the game threw at me (for the most part). This run absolutely is not optimized, and even during the stream, new route ideas came up. This is one of the most off-beat challenges I've created for Killer7, and I'm happy that I managed to pull it off yet again.
