  1. Pros:
  2. - No Nido/forest manips lost to IGT0
  3. - Don't have to memorize IGT0 backups
  4. - No "did I fuck up or was this IGT"
  5.  
  6. Cons:
  7. - Lose 1.0 to 1.5s to saving/synchronizing
  8. - Mental energy during reset-heavy part of game
  9. - Have to update IGT tracker each run
  10. - Very small chance to miss the window
  11.  
  12. Conclusion: Could go either way. It's definitely a percentage play, but the effect is minor, and the mental energy could be significant.
  13.  
  14. Good reason to use it: "I just want to get a decent time with good execution; I don't want to grind this category."
  15. Bad reason to use it: "It's optimal, so it must be worth doing."
  16. Good reason NOT to use it: "I have the patience to grind Boat Rival deaths for a good time, and I need to avoid wasting energy in the early game."
  17. Bad reason NOT to use it: "It loses a second in the perfect scenario, so it's not worth doing in a speedrun."
