This run introduces a route change compared to all the record runs in the last couple of years after dessy's.

This route is very similar to the run hotarubi used in his SS 50 IGT, and behemoths segmented PAL run on SDA. But it does the gauntlet section after WS instead of at the end of the run (before Tourian), and has a lot of new strats.

The most significant strat (IMO), is the new setup for the springball ice clip. We've known this route was the optimal route for awhile, but this clip had been too inconsistent for my liking when you had to time a beam shot to freeze the leech. It was way too easy to freeze it a pixel too high or low.

The new setup I found uses a mechanic used when storing a charge shot (hold shoot and spinjump). When you spinjump with a charged shot, let go of shot, and land, samus automatically lets go of her stored shot after landing. When you do a specific spinjump up to the leech, taking damage, she releases this charged shot at the perfect time to freeze the leech.

The other stupid trick that was in this route was jumping to the wrecked ship etank. It's very easy without highjump, but pausing is slow. Twocat developed a bomb jump strat that is pretty fast and WAY easier than morphjumping over the gap with high jump.

The last remaining thing that makes this route significantly harder than the previous route is that you have one less etank during all of wrecked ship. This means that you cannot make many mistakes at all between WS etank and gauntlet etank, without losing a good deal of time.
