Hi there,
So for the optimal route, I noticed some people have Laura or Crissy on day 2. Was curious if anyone has a preference for one or the other. I would much rather have Laura because I find it much easier to time throws with her and Mark, since their torch seems to have slightly more air time. Something about Crissys fast throwing in combination with faster Jason makes me more likely to miss hits. But I mostly used Mark / Laura in past routes so I could just not be used to it.
Also given Laura or Crissy can be in the cabin, would this mean there's technically a 2/256 chance for a good seed on this route? I heard the 1/256 figure awhile back but wasn't sure exactly how accurate that was. It seems like I get it pretty often, but maybe I'm just lucky.
That said, I'm going to start running this game again after 5 years and I'm pretty excited to go for record again! It's nice not having to 3 cycle Jason outside on day 1 anymore, that was the worst part of the route I used to run. Also it's nice to see this game go from 3 runs on the leaderboard to over 30. It seems while I've been gone a community has formed :)
I personally Prefer Crissy over Laura. Laura has a weaker throw but if you compensate by staying Closer to Jason you can still get a Decent time. My Laura PB is 2:57. Since Crissy's throw is faster, It is easier for me to Time 1st throws against Jason, And also to hit him as he's running off the Screen. Good luck on the runs and please let me know if you need anything!
I’ve always found Crissy to be more preferable than Laura. The fast throws shave enough frames overall, plus Crissy I think has a higher jump, which for me is a preference for avoiding zombies on days 2 and 3 so I don’t lose too much health ahead of fights against Jason and possibly lose a run to his RNG.
Crissy is definitely going to be able to get you a faster arm with her faster throwing, but sub 3 as PGH said, is very possible with Laura. My first sub 3 run was actually completed with Laura.
As for the RNG side of things, I TASed out the route we use, and there are 2 out of the 256 possible seeds that line up with Crissy in the second cabin. I haven't checked for Laura as I only wanted to know the likelihood of getting WR paces with Crissy.
