We can't have a submission delayed for months. If you're not working on this anymore, just say it and I'll accept it as is.
Honestly quite incredible run! I enjoyed this a lot and have given a yes vote! However, I spotted one area where some time could potentially be saved. In Lava Reef 1, you opt to go for the monitor clip using the fire shield monitor that the signpost bounces out of the ground. Is there a reason you didn’t go for the monitorless method? Does it affect RNG later in the run, or was it just something you never thought about doing? For anyone who doesn’t know about this “monitorless” method, during the second time the hand comes up, you can jump at a specific point and if you hit the hand on the same frame that it smacks the ground, you can be in a weird state where if you roll while in its hitbox, you can actually clip right into the floor and still be able to get the final hit in. If you do this in an area where there are no monitors present, the signpost will hit the ground once and you’ll actually save roughly 2 seconds over the old monitor clip method. This trick is extremely difficult to pull off, but it is definitely doable, as I have been able to pull it off on a few occasions. I believe this was initially found by RTA speedrunner eandis, and his video on this trick can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRTK4ZJIoKI All in all, excellent run, SP! I look forward to whatever you have in store for us in the future!
