Strawberry Jam: PASSIONFRUIT PANTHEON GOLDEN STRAWBERRY

map: https://gamebanana.com/mods/424541
this is the Grandmaster Heart-Side, which is near the top of the grandmaster lobby and is the final level in the collab.

second victor of GMHSG, behind Ecl1psed. though this is the first Strawberry Jam MAX%.

GMHSG time: 148:09:51.048
MAX% time: 237:09:01:071

difficulty opinion:
mid t0, rank 2? honestly this could be the hardest golden, while getting unlucky on this and only taking a few hours longer than O7D1DG which had average luck would heavily imply this is easier, its been like 6 months since i did O7D1DG, and last time i decided that wouldn't make enough of a difference, i said WMFCG was harder than O7D1DG which took 574 hours longer, which ended up being considered easier anyway after ninz became victors of both and me redoing WMFCG in mirror mode. so honestly pretty good chances this is the new hardest golden.
i assume this is harder than WMFCG because my mirror mode completion took 70 hours and i have no fucking idea what to do with anything except that one statistic anymore so i decree this harder.
edit: ninz got it and it seems unlikely this is top 1, they only took 71 hours and didn't get lucky with it

edit 2: oh yeah been a while since i updated this description. everything above was hilariously wrong and this is gapped so hard by both o7d1dg and wmfcg that we had to split the tiers a second time.

luck: fucking horrid. god did not make the green earth with intent for a mf to die 5 times to flag 1. nor 6 times to flag 2.

enjoyment: this golden drove me up the fucking wall with how chokepoint based it is. it always feels extremely demotivating, since the golden is basically just centered around annoying and feels-unfair chokepoints being sprinkled throughout the map while everything else is free.
aside from that though i think i enjoyed playing it? it would feel like a lie to say otherwise. i played this ~5h a day for almost a month straight, and did so willingly without ever wanting to take breaks. which typically isn't what happens when you dont enjoy something (:
i definitely was happier when beating this than usual though, the 11 flag 2-1 deaths sent me through the 5 stages of grief on loop for several days too long.
