NTSC-U PS1 version played on PS2 (SCPH-39001)

Retimed to 38:45.57. Nice run! :)

-----

TCM: No complaints; time loss to gold is because I didn't yolo the clip.

MAC: Couple minor imperfections (kicks from the satellite dishes, destroying the teeth, a kick getting canceled by the wall), but still solid overall.

OOT: Not the most optimal lag reduction at 3:29, otherwise very clean; time loss to gold is mostly quote RNG.

SR: Got a little stuck on the wall during remote 1 and had some camera issues during the backtracking section of remote 2, which disrupted my movement and caused additional lag.

FSF: Didn't immediately kick onto the button after white gate skip, otherwise good level; time loss to gold is mostly quote RNG.

Red Gate Skip: First try and got to the right spot pretty quickly; gold here is a lucky first try ledge grab with the old (much less reliable) setup, so it's not the most fair comparison.

P90: Well played until the very end, where I got the wrong camera angle for the tail bounce, causing me to slide around for a bit before making it up the slope; also got the worst quote RNG, but still solid level overall.

TUSO: No complaints; time loss to gold besides quote RNG is because I went for a slightly slower/safer strat at 17:09.

FT: Tried to kick too early on two occasions, causing Gex to just jump normally, otheriwse good level ...always love to see that instant door bounce.

COM: Two minor imperfections (not immediately kicking onto the button during remote 1 and entering the first loading zone with an awkward camera angle during remote 2), otherwise very clean.

TOC: My kick got canceled by the wall at 22:31, followed by some minor camera issues; still good overall.

PG: Minor imperfections leading up to the morgue during remote 1; during remote 2, I got caught on an axe, missed the tail bounce onto the last door twice, didn't prevent the doll enemy from spawning (which to be fair, I don't know how to do consistently), and had some sloppy movement up the final staircase.

MTT: Very clean level except for the two failed attempts at sticking to the wall in the dragon room.

Blue Gate Skip: Got to the right spot quickly but wasted some time trying to turn left during the tail whip; still technically first try though.

SNF: Getting a little stuck on the wall at 30:43 is the only mishap; great level overall, even did swing skip fully zoomed in for maximum lag reduction; time loss to gold is mostly quote RNG.

PITA: My tail whip went straight through one of the power cells in the portal area, forcing me to attack it again (not a big deal because I had to run out of air anyways, but it made me eat some additional lag); otherwise very good level, especially considering that I was pretty nervous at the time.

CZ: First button in phase 2 spawned in an unlucky spot, which is out of my control; no actual mistakes on my part.
