haha yeah I realize that now. I completely forgot that you could just walk out the front door. Thanks I'll get better at running this game eventually. I still think that doing what Koalarific found is slightly faster, though bu, since it's not reliable and easy, it shouldn't be implemented in runs just yet.
I'm talking about using the hidden vent behind the staircase to escape the library. I haven't watched other speedruns so I don't know if that's the strat everyone uses. Correct me if I'm wrong. How do you get out of the library?
Edit: I did it in my video at 9:55
Edit 2: ok I'm stupid I'm sorry lmao I completely forgot that the entrance to the library is open. I thought it was blocked off. I completely forgot so I guess the "skip" I did just lost me time. I told you I haven't watched anyone else do this lmao. Sorry for confusing you. I just remembered it was a secret location so I assumed it was faster.
Maybe you mean the vent skip is a couple seconds faster than the normal way. I'm sorry, I haven't done the normal way in a long time. I'm talking about how doing the glitch Koalarific found would be much faster than the skip we use now.
I guess I don't know that other strat then but I'm talking about how you jump down and crawl through the vent then walk through the dark hallway and jump over the dogs then climb the ladder. I think glitching through the wall rather than doing all that would save more time than just a couple seconds but I may be wrong.
I've done it a couple times using Kyusuke's method and it isn't very reliable like Ewil says but I believe it, if it can be reproduced correctly and reliably, it can cut the total time of the run by at least a minute because crawling in that vent and climbing that ladder takes a while and it would really be beneficial if it could actually be incorporated into a run as a legitimate strat.
