Thanks to the youtube mashup site I was able to watch these videos side by side with the 56 run from miles. If it were not for the errors made getting boostball along with a very few other places I think a 54 min run is absolutely possible.
Wow, that was some really impressive boosting, and there were a ton of dashes that I had never really seen used before. Seems like 0:54 might be the absolute best time with this route based on how optimized this was, but you never know with this game. Looks like Phen Canyon, Sheegoth, PB Maze, Omega Pirate, and Ridley flyby skip will make up a chunk of the remaining minute, and the rest would just be overall even further optimization. Seems like what might be best would be putting it in a couple segments that lose no time (i.e. Save at ship after frigate -> Save at ship after left side SJF -> Save at ship after Lifegiver -> Save at ship before Ridley). I know Miles has the - now dead? - segmented run going on, but the tricky question here is at what point is the cost of going to the save rooms less than the inherent precision lost in the humongous segments?
Anyways.... awesome, awesome job T3!!
