If you've done them, of course.

Like, the idea of completing an entire chapter without dying once is so nerve-wracking. It means there's little to no room for failure. Every single move you make has to be near-flawless, and you have to keep that up for several minutes. And while you're probably more than capable of beating the chapters without much difficulty, all it takes to ruin your run is a single misinput. You don't get enough distance. You dash horizontally when it needed to be diagonally. You might even suddenly just go blank in a section or two. And boom. All the way back to the beginning. And you gotta make that trek all over again.

And if it happened in the early sections of the chapter, that wouldn't be too much of a problem, right? But if it happened near the end, if you got to the final room and really started to panic because you're almost there and you know you can't afford to mess up more than ever, and then you mess up, it just hurts, man. Especially if it's a chapter that you feel just drags out.

Me personally? I settled for getting the golden strawberries in Chapter 1-A (including the winged one lol), Chapter 2-A and all of the C-Sides. 1-A and 2-A are pretty simple and short so they wouldn't be much of a hassle, and as difficult as the C-Sides are, they're only around a minute long each, so if you die, it never takes long to get back to where you were before. And it helps that if you're doing a golden strawberry run, you've probably already memorized the final, long rooms from beating them in the first place.

But I just couldn't imagine attempting a run on a longer chapter. I hate just thinking of doing 3-A because of how much of a drag that is. But then I see other people go above and beyond to get the golden strawberries in every single chapter. Even 9, which I'm positive I'll never attempt to do a no-death run on.

So how do you guys just.....deal with all of that?

At least she's being nice about it.
