I believe that the way top runners have played red in the past is a big mistake and conducive to hating yourself and everyone and speedrunning. I am going to attempt to find a new way to play the game that is just healthier. This game essentially ripped away gunners soul a few months ago and I believe that is just because of gunners style of grind for very good luck. Whether the new strategy involves widening the reset points or healing on Brock more often and grinding out route 3, moon, bridge, misty, surge, fly, flute, koga(yea I know that’s a lot of rng) I do not yet know. The fact of the matter is that even once you make it past koga you are still unlikely to record so trying to get a lot of runs here is probably a good idea. So if you make it past Brock 40% more this will give more opportunities to do this. This involves being nearly perfect at triple extended, a manip that literally drove gunner to severe depression. I have faith that I can get it 85% of the time(not including igt) which would be very good.
