After I finish de-rusting Red, I will be doing and finishing 100 attempts of Red. These will be true no-reset runs, so every run will finish. The goal of this is to hopefully show that it doesn't matter what kind of RNG you get, you can still play safely and achieve decent times. It's also possible that I'll end up failing spectacularly and end up getting mediocre times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll be using the race route I used for the past two tournaments, which involves picking up the PP Up and using it in the Koga split. Until I have access to revives, I'll likely be playing around every single crit death, but won't play around gen 1 misses, so there is a chance that I get some catastrophic times. As a fun side note, I'll be keeping detailed statistics about the attempts and go over them at the end. For example, things like average split times and best/worst/standard deviation for finished times will be tracked for sure, but also more fun stats like how tackles/MP/RS/Blizz hit rate, average number of growls from rival 1, blackbelt/lance survival rate, average number of encounters, etc. I'll be recording every run, so I'm open to any suggestions for more stats I could track. I'm still not sure of a schedule I want to keep, but I'm debating between one or two runs per stream. I've decided against using IT for these runs, as I think it's a lot more fun to play without IT. For those who are not aware, Instant Text (IT) is a technique utilized in the main Any% Glitchless leaderboards and saves over 2 minutes, but does not allow you to heal or swap when you have it. The section of the run that utilizes it has a lot of places where swapping or healing can be crucial in terms of survival (Bridge/Misty/Surge), so I've opted to play without it. Though it won't be a true comparison, I could get a decent estimate of what my runs would be with IT by subtracting 2 minutes, though I wouldn't save the full 2 minutes every time due to healing/swapping out and losing IT.
