For Midget

You suck. OK now that that is out of the way, let's get into this. First things first, I would like to say that, obviously, what I say here isnt like the end all be all stuff you have to practice. Some of the stuff I put in here you might already know or do. I'm only going to be looking at your current pb that's up on speedrun.com. So some of this stuff may be outdated that I say because I'm telling you to do something like "do the correct Trickmaster strat" or something along those lines. No worries, just keep that in mind while you read this. If you do come across something that I tell you that you either already know, or think I'm wrong, just skip past it. With all that out of the way, let's get to it.

Dive to the Heart:
Before I even look at your Dive to the Heart, just gonna say, never practice this shit. You probably already know this. The first 6½-7½ minutes of this game isnt worth resetting over. With a little bit of practice, you can get good at this segment, but seeing how you will see this section 100% of the runs you do, there are much more important things to practice that you may not see every run like mid or end game stuff.

So everything you did up to the end of the first shadows fight was fine. This is a segment that I like to point out to people just how easy it is to lose time. You did basically everything right, but after the fight, you had already lost about 3-5 seconds to what I would consider good/average. If you go back and look at your shadows 1, its clear why you lost this time. It took you quite a bit of time to kill the first shadow you have to kill, then you didnt get 2 combo. Nothing that you dont already know, just like pointing it out to people as I find it interesting.

Good job on breaking the round box and the square barrel. Proud of you.

One thing you might want to look into with the shadows 2 fight is after your first ground combo, start doing 2 hit air combos. Some people that I have talked to love this, others dont. I would say play around with that and see if its better for you or not. Personally, they work wonders for me.

Ok now that we have made it past our first world, I want to tell you how I'm going to set up this pastebin from here until the end. So first, I'm going to tell you what your segment was and what a good segment is. Then I will kinda give a brief summary of everything I said, and how important it is that you practice that segment. So it will look something like this:

Your Dive to the Heart: 6:55
Good Dive to the Heart: 6:50 or lower
Time Loss: about 5 seconds

I dont even have to really go over anything here with you. You do everything right. Once you start running more, you will find that you will easily beat a 6:55 every run. Like I said earlier, that you already know, never practice this segment. You will get plenty of practice when you do runs. I wouldn't even think about practicing Dive to the Heart until you have sub 2:20, and even then, you probably won't have to. Only thing to keep in mind is to try out the 2 hit air combos after your first full ground combo on shadows 2.
