PDH Phase 3+4 Safespot (Replay RNG Manip)

In my last attempt at finding a PDH safespot (the Asprey spell card showcase like 18 months ago), I was forced to move once a few seconds before the end of the spell. I was never quite satisfied with it, and have since put far too much effort into trying to remove that one movement from the run. A week long computer search of literally every combination of RNG seed, position (near the bottom of the screen), and pattern cycle later, I found this spot. It's somewhere around 0.2x0.2px large.

Because of an inaccuracy in my script I don't know exactly how many safespots there are, but it's not many. In fact if you start from phase 3 in thprac there's no position/RNG seed combination that work, and the route here relies on timing phase 1+2 cancels to change the order of RNG calls on the rest of the pattern. We're really lucky a spot exists at all.

The plan was to recreate the RNG seed/position/cycle I found using TAS like I did last time. At some point though I realised that nothing about the strat actually required TAS if I used a replay to set the RNG seed and carefully routed the movement to be possible RTA, while also setting up damage for the precise cancel timings required. It took somewhere around 4 hours of trying this in total to get this run.

Surely this was a good use of my time...
