I actually am quite interested in speedrunning this game, as I quite enjoy it. Thing is, though, the guides... leave me a bit wanting. The main English "guide" for Any% is an excel sheet(???) that hasn't been updated in who-knows-how-long, and the only actual documentation for a route involves the TAS. The video guide seems more up-to-date, and more up my alley... But it's all in German. It doesn't exactly surprise me a German version of a video guide exists seeing as like, what, half the leaderboard is comprised of German players--but it kinda surprised me that the ONLY video guide is in German!
My question is--are there any actually good English guides to speedrunning this game? I want to try running it! I just don't know where to start, seeing as my guides are either a spreadsheet for a TAS, or in a language I don't understand.
I actually may be interested in attempting to speedrun this game just for the heck of it. Problem is, it's mentioned that there's a "3x-2 movement glitch" in the one and only run of this game, and... well, the guides and resources menus are empty. Even worse, the leaderboard mod has been inactive for 2 years, so I can't exactly ask him. And worst of all, if I google search "3x-2 movement glitch" in quotations, there is precisely 1 result for the trick on Google... the speedrun.com page for the sole run of the game.
What in the heck is the 3x-2 movement glitch?
