[shameless plug](http://twitch.tv/psp4804)

The goal of this post will be to collect the large quantity of discussion produced in the discord into one place that is more accessible for new runners.

[section=Timing] Time begins when the crosshair appears in Release after creating a new game. Time ends when you hit the door and trigger the cutscene at the top of the Shard. Time is measured loadless using my load remover / auto-splitter, built into Livesplit. More info: here.

[section=Categories]

* Any% - Create a new game, complete campaign as fast as possible
* NG+ - Using all upgrades, complete each mission in order (basically a series of ILs). Menuing between missions counts as time
* 100% - Time starts at release, ends with 100% on both Story and World
* ILs - Individual Levels, timed using Livesplit IL timer or in-game timer. Control to Red banner

[section=Route (ILs)] I would advise watching a video of the ILs. Some tricks are glossed above. IL route varies from Any% Route however, as Any% does not necessarily have perks such as Double Wallrun.

[section=Route (100%)] no

[section=Conclusion] Send me videos pls. Most of this stuff has been discussed in depth in the discord, which you should join if you haven't. I haven't really played the game that much so let me know if something in here is very wrong. Good luck!
