Improvements for the speedrun

This is an approximation of the overall time that can be saved by optimizations and new strats.

Note: The run was done on the 1.0 version, the 1.1 version nerfs Omegas and the Queen so, by my estimation, more time can be saved.

Breeding Grounds 3
3 seconds in 2nd alpha

Hydro Station 8.5
1 second due to failed jump at the start of hydro station
1 second due to failed jump when going to missile
6 seconds due to failed jumps when climbing
1/2 second due to a hit with the 2nd alpha

Station grounds 10.5
8 seconds at first alpha on station grounds
1 second due to stupid grip
1 1/2 second due to bad movement

pre industrial complex 15
12 seconds by 2 cycle torizo
2 seconds by bad movement on 1st alpha
1 second due to bad movement leading to refill


Dual alphas 10 seconds due to half failed shinespark

Mining area
1 second due to half failed shinespark
5 seconds due to failed shinespark

Area 4
1 second due to half failed shinespark
4 seconds due to bad rng and had to kill an extra enemy
6 seconds due to bad rng and had to use missiles against a gamma
15 seconds due to bad zeta fight

Area 5 69 (possibly more due to a new strat that uses a shinespark to bypass the saw filled room)
2 seconds due to failed shinespark
4 seconds by bomb jumping underwater and then spacejumping to reach the door.
1 second by waiting the saw enemy
4 seconds by killing one saw and then going through
3 seconds due to failed shinespark
10 seconds due to bad ball and refill
3 seconds due to zeta attack make balls explode
1 second due to bad movement and getting hit 2 times
5 seconds due to not get shinespark
9 seconds due to bad ball management
4 seconds due to failed shinespark in gravity suit section
2 seconds due to opening the wrong door
4 seconds due to better optimization in gamma fights
10 seconds due to refilling after ice beam
3 seconds due to another cycle of serris
1 second due to failed shinespark
3 seconds due to failed shinespark and optimization

Omega nest 20
5 seconds due to failed shinespark and optimization
4 seconds due to failed shinespark
11 seconds due to optimization

From nest to queen 36
2 seconds due to optimization
23 seconds due to a new shinespark and optimization
5 seconds due to optimization on metroids
6 seconds due to a 2 cycle 2nd phase queen

Total: 182 seconds or 3:02

So sub 58 is a possibility and maybe sub 56-57 on segmented runs.
