I broke the previous minute barrier all the way back in August, and took a considerable break from the game to learn and then do a full run of all 20 games in big 20 #19. After finishing a full run of that entire list late October, I was back to the grind to get that run that I should have had over 4 months ago: a run that wouldn't break only the 50 minute barrier, but 49 as well. The run that was a 50:16 had an unfortunate game over in Yamashina (THE FINAL STAGE!!) and was set to otherwise be a low 49 or maybe even a 48 pace. Despite that, it still took over a month of on and off attempts, lots of practice across nearly every stage in the run, especially 5, and even a few runs that had a 10 cycle stage 5 but a disastrous stage 6 that cost me the 48 or even just killed the run outright, but I wasn't going to stop pushing. No no no, literally any run could be the one to get that 48:xx time that I knew was possible for several months now. It just needed to clean up the timeloss on 6 to have a chance.

And this, this was that run. I got about 30 of the 50 seconds that I saved on Nagashino (stage 6) back and it was just enough of a buffer to lose a bit of time at the end and still go and do this.

Anyone who wants to try and get on my level, go on ahead.
