For completeness sake here are the two new strats found by darindrise
This is a solution for the level SlideAcrossTheGap that should be slightly faster.
There is another level where the death warp works and saves time:
I agree that this glitch breaks the game more than any of the stuff we currently do in any% so a new category is fine for me. I would propose the name "any% no death warp" for the current any%.
Also, I think I know how this death warp works: You enter level B and want to go back to level A. The game knows that it has to put hue at the second door of level A so it saves "level" as "B" and "door" as "2". But now hue dies before he has gone back to level A and the game respawns him in level B. The game looks up where to place hue and sees that "door" is "2" so it places him at the second door in level B. This way we have successfully skipped all of level B.
HalfHeartGames has found a new glitch: If you are killed as you go backwards through a door, you are taken to the next room. http://bit.ly/2yvrx6u (link to comment)
This even works if the exit door requires a key.
Hi there!
I thought it would be useful to have a thread where we can post and discuss new strats and glitches.
To start things off: This is a video of a new strat I found which saves about 10 seconds:
Feel free to ask if something is unclear in the video.
