The things to watch out for in this stage are the Fire Waves and the Swalloweggs. Sometimes, when they're put together, they just don't sync up smoothly. Also, for some asinine reason, the eggs can't be blocked by Flame Mixer which means you gotta actually dodge stuff. Not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just inept.

The other thing about this stage is that as usual, the 3 or 4 HP enemies are weak to Concrete Shot which is kinda irritating to use because you gotta be careful about making blocks that slow you down. So instead, I go with the next best thing, Homing Sniper. Which kills them in two shots. Pretty good, especially because it has homing. The problem comes when the Swalloweggs are mixed in and Homing Sniper decides to go out of its way to hit something else.

This run beats the previous normal record, MystSvin's 2:59.930, an improvement of 146 frames (or 2.400 seconds). There's a lot of improvements that could probably be made. For starters, I feel like I did horribly on the screens where you have to zigzag with the conveyors working against you. But those Merserkers with the fire waves were just horrible. And Tengu Blade doesn't oneshot them unfortunately. Speaking of Merserkers, I feel like I didn't kill the Berserker Merserker optimally. I tried using Concrete Shot against it, didn't like it much, swapped to Homing Sniper, still didn't like it much, but at least it didn't leave blocks in my way and is easier to aim. Overall, I feel like my performance in this stage isn't very good, but I also just don't feel like playing this stage more.
