Sorry this is taking a while to judge, I just have some concerns here.
So as
mohoc pointed out, there is a glitch that can be done to skip the Gravitron (saving and loading upon entering the Gravitron room) which is omitted from this run. While the speedrunners don't use save + quit in their any% branch, it seems kind of arbitrary to me to not use this in our branchless run. The Gravitron skip does not use the same glitch as the
game end glitch branch. While the game end glitch requires you to save + quit, the actual glitch used to end the game involves text box storage and game state manipulation, while the Gravitron skip requires only a simple quicksave + load. I have personally tested it, and this Gravitron skip still gives you the smaller hitbox required to clip out of bounds and beat the game.
Just so there is no confusion, this is not the same Gravitron skip that's mentioned in the submission text and done in
Scepheo's run, that skips the entire Intermission 2 sequence.
Was this skip omitted because it was not known, or was it intentionally left out? If it's the latter, why?
Instead of gradually moving the analog stick to the right, it should be done instantly. Doing this saves only a few frames in this case, but movement is done this way throughout the entire run, and it can really add up. You should also always travel in a straight line wherever possible, there's some strange direction readjustments being made throughout the run.
