Currently there are some bottlenecks which make the run pretty inconsistent. Especially the little spiders and bosses like Shadow are overwhelmingly difficult to kill fast and can often only be brute forced with the red power bar.

We need ideas or new tech.

I have found a solution for the little spiders in the hallway. Just use Blade #4 and do the jump special attack to minimize ground time and you can pretty consistenly jump over them.
