Not technically a full working lotad, spliced the warp at the end since it wasn't known how to make it consistent at the time. Also used footage from my previous lotad for the ending, so ignore bombs on C.
Yes it does, you just need to fill the framebuffer with the correct pixel colors after the room dupes by pausing with the green DC background on screen, which I didn't know about when making this video. Some strats I used are also pretty outdated so I would suggest checking the latest VC runs on the leaderboard for better examples.
It's listed now. Originally I left it unlisted since it wasn't confirmed if the way I did DC worked on vanilla yet so I was still a little skeptical whether this would resemble a legit run, but now that people have completed runs we know everything works.
Yeah, so shield swim saves about 13s over getting the key and stick pot after chus, but then you can save back 6s from DMT hess, so it was around a 6s difference. Recently though it was figured out you can do a distance megaflip off the beamos to get behind the load plane in DC, which saves 2 chus, so I think doing shield swim and dmt hess should be optimal now.
