Counselors and their skillsets

There are six camp counselors that can be selected in Friday the 13th. George, Mark, and Paul are the three guys. The ladies are Debbie, Laura and Crissy. Each of these six counselors have specific skill sets, but only Mark, Crissy and Laura are useful for most speedruns. On top of having different skillsets, each of the six camp counselors must kill a different number of zombies before items will start to spawn. Below I will describe the skillsets, and the amount of zombies required to be killed before items will spawn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# **The Guys**

***George*** - Slow running, fast throwing, short jump - 2 zombies

***Mark*** - Fast running, high jumping, slow, short-ranged throwing, only character who rows the boat fast - 3 zombies

***Paul*** - Slow running, fast throwing, short jump - 4 zombies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# **The Ladies**

***Laura*** - Fast running, slow, short, ranged throwing, short jump - 5 zombies (very bad starting with her for a speedrun)

***Debbie*** - Slow running, fast throwing, good at optimally falling off a cliff - 4 zombies

***Crissy*** - Fast running, high jumping, fast throwing, can't row like Mark - 3 zombies (all around a better character than Mark due to her throws)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you gained anything out of reading that, it's that you should only start a speedrun with Mark or Crissy for optimal times. Mark and Laura are also the only characters with a slower and short-ranged throw, Mark is the only one who can row fast (hardly useful). However the current Any% route you always start with Mark and end up passing your torch to Crissy (a seed with Laura instead of Crissy exists but it's slower due to extra menu'ing). You'll only ever use Laura in an instance like this where you pass your weapon. Pamela Powerups has a seed for both Mark and Crissy, but Any% always starts with Mark. The TAS route starts with Crissy but it's not RTA viable.

Jason's Routes

There are 3 routes that Jason will take in the camp. When you start up the game, he will take one of them. Cabin patterns can be identical, but Jason's starting point will not be. For every cabin pattern, there is an "A" or "B" path for Jason, and what I'd refer to as "A1."

This A1 is him starting right by the cave and moving left to attack the small cabin labeled as 3 in the A route image below. He'll still always alternate between routes A and B, but when you start the game he may start at A1 by the cave. This means cabin 4 can run left and immediately fight him as he makes his way to cabin 3, or cabin 2 can take the upwards path next to it and catch him as well. Not good for Any%, but worth pointing out.

Basically, Jason is going from house to house regardless of if anyone is currently hiding out in one. You can find him in a small cabin if he passes it, and oftentimes large cabins too. He continues along a specific path, and once it is complete, he heads back to the lake cabins to attack the children. So, what are his routes?

# Represents where he will stop and attack someone (or enter that Cabin)

¤ Represents that Jason will enter this large cabin
"Jason moves left here" is only mentioned because despite always appearing from the right side of the screen and running that way, he'll often actually be moving to the left.

If Jason has started on route A, he will follow route B after that. When he returns to the lake, he will switch back to A. Jason is constantly switching between route A and B. After route A, Jason exits the lake from the right side. He then moves left (appears to be down on the map) and he stops in the small cabin, before cutting through the woods to the southern part of camp. He then takes a very long path to the woods, cuts through it, and ends up north of the lake. He moves to the right and hits the lake cabins. After route B, Jason moves to the right and takes the path down, and then heads from northeast of camp into the cave area. He then exits the cave area and moves along south of the lake before taking the path up, moving left, passing the large cabin and entering the lake.

That may have been a little confusing, but see for yourself. Jason's patterns are extremely easy to follow. It is worth noting that if you start the game on route B, Jason will attack the southern cabin, completely ignoring the one he enters on the lake. Southern cabin and northeast cabin alarms go off instantaneously after start-up if there is a counselor in there.

Jason's routes (with paths marked in red)

I'm a very visual learner, so when I was learning the run I made these rough images in paint based on the already available ones. Hopefully they'll help someone else too.

This video by AcidGlow shows how to acquire the torch very early in the game. This can be repeated by all six camp counselors.
