SMS IL Speedruns

I started doing ILs at first as part of a divide-and-conquer learning approach for tackling Any%. But I found I preferred higher-skill gameplay to marathon runs, so became an IL main. It’s no surprise given I picked up the game for its movement.

My peak rank at SMS ILs has been 7th, during 2023/11/21–2024/07/15, and my peak quality rating was 83.5%, on 2023/11/21.

I have held 1 world record:
