Well that went way quicker than i expected...
Again a very slow start (29:4X Moon Exit, but again with Hiker and Paras) followed by a decently clean run afterwards.
Even though there were some hurdles inbetween (e.g. Tower Rival was very scary), I'm pretty happy with the run.
During Victory Road, i was weighing my options if I can actually still get a Sub 2, and I decided against yoloing Lorelei and instead just trying to yolo Agatha if my HP setup allowed it.
The HP I had leaving Bruno actually allowed it, so I just went for the yolo and somehow survived the fight.
The rest of the E4 went just as smooth, so even though I was behind so far leaving Giovanni 3, I still clutched it out in the end...

The execution was again not great, but given the fact that I haven't practiced any menus with Paras yet, a lot of them were good enough.
Honestly I never expected to get a Sub 2h run in less than a month after picking up the game (I have not played anything but Gen 3 games until this point), that alone makes me very proud of what I've accomplished already!

Future plans are not set in stone yet, either I try to push this down to a 1:58:XX or even a 1:57:XX (probably will at some point), but I might dip into any% glitchless before that and try to get a reasonable time in that category...
