2 weeks of struggling to no avail, but then I started popping off...hardcore. Then came this run.

The early game of this run up to Surface Tension's start, with the current strategies known, will not be beaten, I am calling it now. The lack of mistakes and good RNG is going to force me to use balanced splits from now on to not demotivate me while I continue my grind for the sub 26. This run is the definite proof of sub 26 being a reality.

The late game has quite bad sections - Surface Tension, FAF sucked massively, meanwhile Gonarch cost me 12 seconds(god I love how missing a saveload by less than two tenths cost me that much time). However, I cumulated so much early game timesave and collected my LC+Xen timesaves it didn't matter for the sake of a new WR.

I will continue.
