8 years ago

hi guys im just wondering i have watched a few runs and have seen two routes a few with the 2 plug mainly the top times and a few with 4 plug route is there an actual vast difference in time aside from banking the knife and burning i think its the key of clubs is it a huge difference in a run ?

it's barely even 1 second difference, 2 plug is just more convenient since you only need to dodge the basement licker once and not use item box. also no need to use the club key fully

if you want to keep a first aid during red hallway i would recommend 2 plug route but deposit knife, that way you can have a First aid in red hall and during the lab if you need it. Then when you get confidant enough to not need a first aid just keep the knife and the route doesn't change.

This is the strat you would use when attempting WR or in use of a TAS. The time save it deals in a standard run isn't that great as Steven said, and greatly depends on menu speed, additionally.

If you can't already 5 or 6 slot in the menu, as in quick menu strats, I wouldn't bother trying this until you can. But that's just my opinion. I feel grabbing the FAS as Leon would be more useful to runners that are currently learning the game than a 1 second time save.
