I was getting frustrated whilst practicing 100% and decided to do a run where I kill every single enemy instead of avoiding them.

Halfway through I realised it's actually a really fun way to play the game, and introduces the same interesting routing strategies as you get in the 100%.

Thoughts on adding it as a category? I'm thinking calling it genocide%, rules would be: any% rules plus must kill every enemy except subway-1 rats, (including all boss eyes that spawn).

Hi y'all hope if any of you have notifications on you aren't annoyed by me yet.

So in subway 3 about half way through, if you get there fast, there'll be a gun dude guarding a box. And you're thus forced to wait for him to hit the box and turn around, sitting there for up to a second or two. (as you'll see in the WR run, but not my run bc I sucked and died in this level).

But I've figured out that it's possible to not get stuck here, and save between 1/2 to 1 second.

1. Do a jump towards the box as low as possible, whilst still retaining the ability to turn around and get back to the platform (I think bonking against the wall makes the turn around faster for this but I'm not certain yet).
2. wait until you start to fall, as close to the bottom of the box as possible. you should be moving back to the platform already at this point, so that your back is to the box.
3. swing, just barely in time for the back top of the pipe hitbox to clip the box.

If done correctly you should destroy the box, and be low enough that either the gunman doesn't shoot, or he misses you.

I managed to do a run of the room and get a time .65 lower than my previous best.

I'll update if I figure out any consistency strats for it, because right now it's just muscle memory learning for me.

The rules aren't clear, are we allowed to kill the creatures that have the "doesn't count as a kill" mark on them, making the category first and foremost a "get the heart and spade for every level" category, which is what the name 100% seems to insinuate?
