Unlike the 1-6 one this Zip can actually save a couple of seconds:
This will of course not be allowed in glitchless, which is the dominant category right now, but at least now the glitched category for PC actually has a glitch. If I understand the inner working correctly we should be able to find several more of these spots in the future. Could open up for a potential (glitched) sub 44 any% in the future?
I'll do some more testing tomorrow, the clock is 6:38 AM so I should probably go to bed now lmao
After some grinding I was able to beat Jumpyluff's WR by 3.45s, video shows the run from checkpoint out audio muted since I was listening to music:
This Zip seems much more precise than the 1-6 one, so it took quite a lot of grinding to finally get it 1st try (or at all lol). The run where I got it was the first run where I decided to slow down a little before jumping into the Zip, which is why I turn left for a split sescond before the jump, though Idk if slowing down actually helps or if I just got lucky. Idk how much time I lost to slowing down, but maybe a sub 35s Fortress is possible in Time Attack with this Zip?
This Zip may not be viable for longer runs like full-game or the Green Hills run, since it requires a lot of grinding for such a small time save. At that point you'll probably have more luck just grinding for good Woody RNG instead.
