There has been a new update that added Endless mode (which I might add to have its own leaderboards) and several changes. One of these, was that you were at first able to run down the staircase in Karamari Hospital, then they fixed that. Now however, you seem to be able to run on it again and so it saves a lot of time. I am not going to reset the leaderboards, but instead all runners can easily improve their times now! A weird bug however that I noticed, is that you can't seem to kill the virus with the sword anymore.

Good work Sean, was going to write the same like the last time.

The update adding the possability to use the Sword against the Virus in HD was the same that blocked the staircase-sprint. I first throught that they maybe accidently rollbacked the Sourcecode fron Kalamari Hospital, but Monster 2´s Chase still gives Endless Stamina.

With that, they changed those both points on purpose. According to the developer, it was never supposed to use the Sword to kill the Virus. However, using Acid to get from the second basement-half to the first one is kinda useless in both normal playthrough and Speedrun.

With that change, recently rejected Runs may get interesting again. But since Monster 2´s Chase have Unlimited Stamina, they can easily break now.

The third Hotfix Update changed the behaviour from the Virus back. With that, another 10 Seconds Timesave is possible.

So a sub-6 might be possible at some point, if we find a glitch or two. Edit: I found out the patch doesn't allow us to run on the staircase again, so sorry PureFallen, I'm going to have to reject your run again...
