Movement
Wallstrafing is the fastest method of movement, followed by what I call "snaking", which is basically just doing a bunnyhop motion without actually jumping. You can Also Do Circlestrafe Jumps, but most of the time they are not worth doing over simple snaking as they are quite tricky to do, as you have to release all your movement keys right as you jump and even if done perfectly aren't really faster. Maybe they are useful if you wanna jump around a corner.
Skips
Construction Zone:
Chemical Plant 2:
Warehouse 2:
Dam:
-lowering fps to skip through the death trigger
Underwater Pass 2:
- lowering fps to enter the spawning area of the boats
- stand where the boats spawn -> getting pushed oob by the next spawning boat
- save spamming to avoid falldamage (seems random, as it doesn't work everytime)
Stuff that's currently not useful
Construction Site OoB: Can't reach the level finish trigger
Stuck Clipping: Haven't found a place where this kind of clipping can be applied and is useful yet.
