This is a speedrun of Oboro's Chapter of Live A Live. Part of my ongoing prep for an RTA run.

There was an IL route awhile back that had a PB of about 36:30 that I felt was too dangerous, so I changed it up to make it safer. In the process I found it was also faster. A year ago I posted a video that was a theory run: a properly done run, but recorded as an emulator movie so its legitimacy was impossible to verify.

I'm more than glad to remove that and replace it with this actual legit run, which is actually several seconds faster besides!

All in all the run was great except for the Musashi fight, where I stupidly moved Ryoma into his Bishop range. With Musashi all it takes is one botched move and he'll kill you. That happened here and it almost cost me the run as I ran out of healing items on Ode.

I also decided not to wait for the Medicine Box or give Ryoma the Genji armor. In the end I think this cost me time by making the Ode fight longer than I saved. I won't particularly sweat this because my eyes are on the RTA goal, and in RTA I will be doing these things.
