SRL Race time: 1:26:17. After my :55, I eventually decided to permute all of what I consider to be the sane routes in the game using a computer program that I wrote and data that I collected over the course of several months. The route that I use here is only the 12th best realtime route, but it the best that doesn't involve the springball glitch, of which failure is frequent enough and costly enough that it's not a wise choice for a racing route. I hit :55 five times on this route before I got this time. This run places me back in second place with regards to single-segment 100%, a title which was recently taken from me by dbx. You can find his channel here: http://www.youtube.com/shamukh . He is quite a talented player, roughly equal to me in 100%, and far better than me in any%. Eventually I'd like to hit the :50 mark. I may submit a run to SDA before then, I'm not sure. Since Hotarubi has a single segment :50 on his Youtube, but not on SDA, I'm not sure if I should wait until I hit that mark before I submit a single-segment run. There are a lot of really dumb mistakes in this run that I don't usually make, so there's definitely room for improvement at my current skill level. We'll have to see how that goes, though.
