1. Do You have any particular strategies/priorities when clearing rooms/floors? 2. Which drinks do You generally want to go for, and which do You avoid? 3. Since this is Any%, are there any exploits You use in the run? From just watching the video it didn't seem like it but then again given the style of OTXO they would probably be much harder to notice than all the shit we do in lets say ULTRAKILL 4. Finally, what would be Your reset conditions, if any? It looked like You lost quite a bit of time on backtracking in early stages especially, so im interested to hear at which point would You consider the run a reset, obviously not counting death lmao From one any% runner to another (different games but whatever), congrats on wr, and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment! Here's my answers to your questions: 1. Clear rooms horizontally so that I don't have to backtrack. Clear rooms from a distance by shooting through the door to save time (ricochet and flying squirrel are extremely useful for this). 2. Economy drinks: Trophy + Dome 2016 / Iron-sighted, Fat Wallet, Shredder, Tab, Insurance Policy, Well-stocked. Healing/Utility drinks: Bloodweiser or Healthcare, Sliver. Damage drinks: Anything that increases damage directly (no Freerunner), fire-rate, ammo capacity, reload speed, or helps shots land. They're all useful; go for accuracy by volume. Otherwise, restock. Don't take Capitalism. 3. No exploits in the run. However, there is a big potential time-save by quitting to menu and continuing the game whenever you buy a drink or wish to restock at the bar. This skips the drinking animation and restock dialogue. Unfortunately, doing this messes up the in-game timer at the end of the run which makes it invalid. 4. If I don't get a damage, or economy drink at the start of the game. A good drink at the start is many times more valuable than a good drink in the cosmic ballroom. Best starting drink is Chenrezig. Immediate double damage, double hitboxes, and it synergizes with so many other drinks.
You can actually cut wee bit of time if after paying for drink you refresh the room (exit to menu and press continue) and wigilling side to side holding w (its faster)
Good point! I have tried exiting to menu and continuing before, but doing this messes up the in-game timer at the end, which unfortunately invalidates the run. Thanks for the second tip about wiggling. I'll definitely have to try that if I do another run!
