Finally the 1:30 mark has been broken in the Single-segment 100% category. This is the first Single-segment 100% run that enters the 1:2x range, and it's only 1 shy minute slower than sparky's famous segmented 100% 1:28 breakthrough, and it's only 5 minutes slower than my very optimal segmented 100% 1:24 run so it surely has to be a great speed run. When i started this category for the first time my goal was sub 1:40 so i am glad to see finally i got sub 1:30. This category is my most intensive of all my Single-segment categories; it took me far more attempts and much more time than any other single-segment category. Finally i have decimated the time difference between a single-segment 100% and a segmented 100% run down to five minutes. Sure the difference between my segmented any% 1:03 and my single-segment 1:06 is only 3 minutes (2 minutes less than for the 100% runs) but usually a single-segment 100% run has more errors than a single-segment any% run because a single-segment 100% run is way harder and longer than a single-segment any% run so you can't really say that my single-segment Any% 1:06 is better than my Single-segment 100% 1:29 just because it has less errors. They are both great runs each one for its own category. And with all the random stuff in metroid prime i think my single-segment 100% 1:29 did very well being only 2 more minutes slower than the segmented run compared to the Single-segment any% 1:06.

There are about four errors in this run; the first one was in Research Lab Hydra when i missed a few jumps to get onto that narrow pipe thingy. The second error was in Tallon Overworld in Transport Tunnel B just when i returned from the Phendrana and Magmoor Cleanups; as i was boosting over that little bridge i tried to avoid a crash with those barbed creatures that look like black hedgehogs (forgot their name) and then i sliped or somehow lost control and then fell under the bridge, which cost me a few seconds. The third error was in Fungal Hall A just when i entered the room; as i moved towards the hunter metroid i did a combat dash accidentally and fell in front of the mushroom insead of onto it and then it got even worse and i missed some additional jumps trying to get onto the mushroom. It was really annoying me cause it cost me important seconds. The fourth and last error was near the end of the run in Landing Site just when i made my way up to Ridley and missed a few ghetto jumps towards the ledge in front of the door. There may be some more mistakes which i forgot to mention here but these are the worst mistakes, the rest of the run was quite good enough.

There are some good chozo ghost fights in this run and most of the boss fights were also good, especially prime's first form was very good. Unfortunately i failed trying to kill prime's second form in 3 pools so prime's second form took me 4 pools but it was still quite a fast second form battle since prime wasn't hesistating with the pools but he laid the pools very quick.

With avoiding all the four major errors i did in this run it would be possible to get 1:28 but that would be just too incredibly hard as i would have to do a single-segment 100% run that's as good as sparky's segmented legendary 100% 1:28 run in order to get 1:28 and i don't want to do that. Sure there will always be some fellows who aren't satisfied with this run and i know there are some people out there in the world who dislike me for any reason i don't know so they automatically don't like my speedruns regardless how good my runs are and after all these runs i have done for Metroid Prime and for SDAm2k2 it makes me feel sad to see there are still some people who don't like me. They wouldn't like me even if i get the mythical 0:59 in Metroid Prime, they will never change their mind about me no matter what i do so it doesn't make sense for me to work any more on metroid prime. But i don't care about it cos i know this planet is dark. I would just like to say those who have never really seriously tried speedrunning Metroid Prime on their own can't really appreciate and they can't understand how much work such a speedrun is and how much patience, energy and effort it takes out of you and they will never be able to understand it. So that's the reason why that sort of people disrespects your runs/your work, but those who have never really tried it on their own can't really judge about my work so they better shut up their mouth.

Enjoy the run!
