Definitely split it. I think that the impossible-to-avoid small mistakes would add up even if the mega segment were completed, and splitting it would save sanity and keep some of the small mistakes from happening.
yeah, split it. if you really want to combine ridiculous things together to save time, might as well make it a SS run since you lose some seconds with every save. segmented has its downs like this but also has the ups of very high optimization.
i wouldn't split it. but that's just because i want the run to be as fast as possible. :P
well everyone does, but we also want him to finish it :P
I feel like if you have the perfectionist streak necessary to be a speed runner, if you dont split it it's gonna haunt you. I say don't split it. So what if it takes a few months to bang out the segment. When its done there'll be no doubt left in your mind.
lol, the jump between robots is actually really easy. >_> Which was the reason I found and did it, I needed an easier alternative to dashing from the first robot...
Edit: Added a download link for a HQ version of each segment to the first post.
