I see some people with Jill go straight back out of the double doors in the dining room at the start. Other people go to the zombie in the following room and run back. Which method is actually quicker?

i think with doorskips its faster to leave the dining room and without its faster to go for the zombie haven't tested it myself but as far as i can see that's how it is

Even without the door skip, trying to back out is still like three seconds faster.

I agree with Lex, it s was 4 seconds faster to go back when i tested it without doors skip.

It may be faster on Pc but i dont think going back is faster on consoles

I think it might be. I was attempting a knife run the other day and I thought to try it and it certainly seemed a little quicker. I should really test it properly of course.

It's confirmed faster?

Eleval was saying "no", but I never bothered to do the research. I can't shake the routine of going to Kenneth and going back to the main hall, it's fucking hard when you've done it literally 10,000 times.

SephJul timed it and it's 4s faster to do the "cold feet" strat, at least on REmaster (not idea about REmake, but it might be slower due to the slow cutscene loading on GC/Wii)
