The fights in this section were solid: Enemy Birdramon spamming Prominence Beam is alright, as long as I get my own hits in. Learning the move I wanted, while at the same time getting the super-rare Protection drop from the Sandyanmamon, was pretty much the best possible outcome of that fight. Assuming it is used at least once in battle, SandYanmamon has a 14% chance to teach Birdramon the move "Spinning Shot", which is absolutely necessary to beat this game quickly. Here is the main reset-point of this run, and it went exceptionally well. The only setback was that i had to use my finisher to end the battle, since Agumon refused to dish out the last hit by himself. The Drimogemon fight was good, the only Megaton Punch that Drimogemon actually got off on Agumon was blocked, letting me conserve my healing items for the later parts of the run.
The main thing that can lose you time here is getting your Autopilots denied, which fortunately did not happen to me when trying to feed the first one. For more in-depth analysis and explanation of the route, I would recommend you to check out my audio commentary. I will now briefly go over the run, to highlight the most prevalent positive and negative aspects. The console was a Playstation 2 with "Fast Disc Speed" enabled. The version I was playing on was the NTSC-U version of the game, the fastest version for the any%-category. I want to thank: Kakka_rot, BlackWin5, Azureflame4, Kyutora, Kheartz, Foxtreme, Jukebox_Hero and anyone else involved with Digimon World-speedrunning for getting me into running this game and doing their part in helping to develop (or rather, digivolve, heh) this run into what it is today. The overall amount of resets it took me to get this run is 480, the major reset-point being about 30 minutes into the run, and I'm definitely glad to be able to say that all the work has paid off.
In a whole year of work on this game by several runners, going through countless numbers of route changes and improvements, the game is finally brought down to an hour and a half. The fastest known time when I started was a 1:52:01 by BlackWin5 with a, for it's time, reasonably optimized run. I began speedrunning this game almost exactly a year before completion of this run, it was also my introduction to actually speedrunning myself, rather than only watching other runners doing their attempts.
