I found this OOB while playing through the game again on hard mode. I explain everything I can in the video and if I manage to replicate the glitch I will update. I hope it helps lower the game's time :)
Making an understanding of how the game works can greatly contribute to finding new time saves, 'Potential Strategies' is simply the application of that understanding into the game. Discussions like this happen on/off in the discord, and I thought this could be a good way to keep track of and compile them. So, feel free to contribute any findings!
Probobly not the most urgent of issues, but times (especially on the IL boards) can get a little close together considering how linear the game still is, so i think adding tenths or even hundredths could be necessary if not now, sometime in the future; at least until we learn enough about the game to open it up again.
Currently, emulation is prone to inconsistencies and most of all crashes. These crashes can be diverted by changing CPU Engine and/or Backend momentarily but completing the entire game on one setting has yet to be seen. So, unless these issues are fixed it's likely a TAS would require video editing and even then loadtimes could still become an obstacle. Best of luck to those who attempt this feat.
