P% 4-3 47.710 [CURRENT WR] 

thank you, now the masses may consume...

It shall only continue, I forsee a sub 45 in the not so distant future.

Its hard to give any one reason, but with 4-3 no one back in the day was really running it. In fact when I started running it Greed had only just come out maybe a week or two ago but there were only 3 runs of Any%, 2 of P% and 0 of NoMo. Now if greed had come out in today's speedrunning community, I'd imagine there would be a lot more runs and if I joined at that time I probably wouldn't have even tried 4-3 but back then the community was smaller and I saw an opportunity to grind NoMo, since hey no one else is even bothering with it and I didn't do it for "oh free wr so ez" I kept grinding it because I knew it could go lower and I knew I could make it go lower, and so I did. Eventually I talked with another runner named Unimagination and they were running 4-3 Any% at the time and got wr, and they said "oh hey your already good at NoMo, maybe you should give any% a shot" and so I did, and I ended up crushing any%, I was good at it, Really good at it. Eventually I just thought "I mind as well just be the 4-3 guy since, I already have NoMo and Any%, so lets go to P%" and I took wr there too, at that point I just realized that I was just good at this level. To me there isn't really a goal per say but rather a question of "how much can I push this level" or "what can I introduce to this level to make it faster" so I don't stop when someone beat's me or when I beat someone else or when I get a PB, I stop when I think "ok I need a bit of a break lmao" or just when something else is more interesting to me at the time or when IRL stuff comes up, all of which does and has happened before. I think it also helps that I have this weird sense of nostalgia and awe of the greed layer in general, I remember the hype for this layer, seeing the whiplash teaser, small clips of a level or two, it was all so awesome, and then experiencing the music the level design, the secrets! it was the first new layer to be introduced since the game came into early access and at that point I had been playing the game for about 6 months. Over time though new levels have had new strats and even though I used to keep up I slowly started to fall behind and even though I was never an extremely great full game runner or had all the strats locked in, I was still good for the time but at some point it felt like there were only a few levels I still even knew how to do quickly anymore, and one of those was 4-3, I guess you could say 4-3 was like a home to me, when it felt like I had forgotten optimal strats for everything else. The only true and real way I can imagine myself stopping is when frame perfect strats come in, as I just don't enjoy them and to be honest I do just suck at them and would rather not have to put up with them or if someone else gets such an incredible run that I genuinely don't know how I could ever beat it without 4-3 becoming my 9 to 5 but even at that point I'd probably still at least push my PB. TL;DR I have a bit of nostalgia for greed levels as well as love for them in general, I have a lot of history with 4-3 and I want to push it to see how low I could get it to.

ALSO I forgot to mention it in that comment, but something else that kinda affects how I feel about the level is that a LOT of people just HATE it. WHICH I UNDERSTAND BTW!!! but since people hate it, it makes me want to grind 4-3 harder in a sense to prove that this level even though to most people it sucks, can still be great in the right hands.

alot of grinding, practice, and help with routing.
