Thanks hero :)
Ok I wasn't planning on posting at 30% because there isn't too much new, but the demand is there, so why not?
Same link as before, which is
here.
I'm pretty much falling ass-backward into missles for this stretch, which is good because I burn through some of them on Phantoon. Phantoon is probably going to be the coolest part of the run, big props to Michael for that trick, hopefully he visits here again someday to read that.
There is also some good luck manipulation to make sure I have plenty of Super Missles throughout this segment, since my maximum is still only 5. That will change very soon, though.
A couple route differences here, but from the high-jump room to the top-left room in Brinstar that Michael didn't visit, I gained 120 frames, and from Crateria to Phantoon's death I gained 41 more. I also got extremely lucky on the item spawn following Phantoon without pausing, so that will gain some time as well.
40% is the gravity suit, so I'll probably update again once I'm there.
