GENERAL NOTES
------------------------------
* In this category, all major upgrades must be obtained. This includes grabbing Varia Suit from the statue rather than getting it automatically when obtaining the fully-powered suit.
* Decent hive room :)
* I was more aggressive than I needed to be with farming missiles in Norfair (could save a couple seconds)
* On that note I also didn't skip any refills that a human would take (Ridley, Long Beam)
* Ridley unrage would have saved a small amount of time
* Zeb skip with Wave Beam sucks
* Now with arm pumping!
* Most strats are perfectly human viable. That Tourian really is not.
* Any and all mistakes are RNG manipulation dude trust me
KNOWN MISTAKES
--------------------------------
* Took the long way out of Pre-Varia
* Totally ignored the screw blocks after exiting Ridley
* No Ridley unrage
* Other minutiae like breaking spin where it can be avoided, lack of corner boosts
Thanks to dragonfangs for his video showing off the timesave for late Ice Beam and the Zero Mission community for running this cool category.
