About M&L BIS Speedruns

So by watching and taking info here and there about the new WR for Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story Any% i found 2 issues if you are running on a non Japanese Cartridge (maybe more later need to test).

First is obviously the language, text mashing seems a tiny bit faster.

Second is the DareDevil Boot. The fact you need to do 10 more points in  EU or US version isn't a big deal but you still lose time.

The big question mark is the following and i need to test it : Can you do the same Quit trick that puts you back where you last saved but with still the boots in your pocket ? Not sure. Have to test it.

But it's really giving me even more reason to speedrun the game because mario becomes insanely strong and makes boss fights way easier.
On the other hand, if you get hit by mario he gets one shotted BUT that's not really a big deal either because that was probably the case before for any kind of route.

I might want to reroute also the point distribution of luigi. Since he isn't a big part  of the damage output in the run anymore it could be interesting to use him as a SP Container or something else. (7s_mit puts speed here and there which makes sense since luigi is a bit slower than mario and it helps you get more attacks in during the fight)For safety you could also put HP in case you fail to dodge something with mario just to have some lever to revive mario.

I didn't want to reroute the game, i just wanted to practice the run and get a better time (wr actually :D) but with that it changes a lot of things so i might have to change my plans.

Which leads me to say that doing any% Run with the Challenge Medal might be very interesting too.
