SIC warp on observatory or sic warp to mirror IC?

I'm going to do one or another. Want to actually do a "normal run" so people can stop writing whole essays in my comments about how terrible my runs are and constantly mentioning it.

So which one is faster? (No neo door used in run btw)

Doing both sicwarps in one run is a huge timesave, as it saves more time than you hope it'll be with the route you're doing. Without any neodoors, that can easily get you a 17. In order for it to make it count, An observatory sicwarp must be performed (and get past neo or tinyhuge) then a mirror sicwarp is to be successfully done.

@Ringo6575 Thanks but I think you misinterpreted the question, or I misinterpreted your answer. But what I meant is that I'm basically getting rid of all strats that people keep telling me not to do. So ignore any of my runs before, and just think of a simple run with token cancels. I am NOT doing neo door in this run. So my question would be rather to do

  1. Sic slide off the observatory onto the "You can jump!" IC, then sic warp into the mirror icecream

or

  1. Sic warp from the observatory IC down to where the tiny huge and neo doors are located.

I can't preform the sic warp from the "You can jump" to the mirror IC by itself without the SIC slide. at least not as consistent where I can do it in a lot of runs. I wouldn't like to spend a lot of time learning a strat that I would most likely change very quickly. I just see it as not worth it and if I were to spend that amount of time, it would just much better be used for neo door + sic slide.

I'd rather stick to number 1, sicsliding off the observatory onto the you can jump IC and sicwarp into the mirror IC. This should be a good option to practice the mirror sicwarp.

France

I'd say you're better off with option number 1, and just have overall better movement during the whole run to get a better time, either way I'm pretty sure practicing advanced whilst having bad movement won't help you that much.
