Run done for the La Calice Cup. Initially I thought I wouldn't really get an 1-ALL done in this game but I decided to practice for a bit and still set the goal to 1-ALL. I'm glad I managed to get that done, I think I've been pushing myself quite a bit thus far to do clears in games I didn't think I would clear or I thought I wouldn't be able to do much in. It's been working out well overall so in that regard I would say I'm glad I participated and it's been worth it. Even if I didn't get much done beyond this point, I already got quite a bunch of runs I wouldn't have otherwise done; I think that's a good way to look at it.

At first I struggled with the 1-3 boss, but it's honestly not too bad even though I still plan in a few bombs for patterns I'm a bit uncertain whether I can dodge them about. Stage 4 was also a learning process, I think it helps to take note you pretty much always want to tap dodge in case one of the tanks decides to snipe you-- it really helps to look out for that. It also helped knowing how to get the secret extend-- I do plan in a bomb to get it since I'm still not sure how to effectively deal with the start of the requirement without messing it up. A bomb generally helps as long as it's not planned too early (you want to destroy the statues in s4 but only the ones with a red crystal in them. I think only the first statue doesn't have one so there's not much to worry about for the latter ones.)

As for s5, I think some trial and error is generally to be expected, I decided it would be a good idea to bomb more often if I felt uncomfortable. I expected at least 1 death on the stage portion, the death on the 1-5 boss was a tad silly but I didn't see the bullet I ran into and thought there was 3 and not 4. Still wasn't a big issue since I had plenty resources to work with and I decided to not be stubborn and to use my bombs. I feel like overall this run is a testament to what a bit of practice can do.

Also don't mind the replay ending restart-- I'm not sure why that happened, I thought I would speed up continue if I just pressed Z, but apparently not. I'm not sure if it was the replay restarting or it is an actual restart but I doubt the latter.
