Hey y'all, TRGMorty/Ryan here. So I received a comment on the Die Hard WR Progression video I released a while back commenting on a in-game input on the pause screen that drastically speeds up the lock counter within the game. This effectively saves ~40 seconds on current strategies by completely removing the feet damaging and stair running parts of the run, at least on my immediate tests. I'm not sure if this was well known and already banned (because it's an in-game cheat/input?), or yet another thing we never knew (just like shooting down the door, thanks Arcus community). The input is just holding A+B+Select on the pause screen to quickly count down the timer, and a test run with this new strategy is linked below. I'm pretty indifferent on if this should be allowed or not as one of the only consistent runners of the game because while it does fully invalidate all previous runs, it also removes debatedly the easiest + repetitive part of the run.
