This run achieves the worst ending as quickly as possible. (any%)
Improvements to previous TAS:
2:35 I managed to grab onto the pipe ledge 1 frame sooner.
3:11 New strat where I climb stairs first instead of jumping towards the ledge, this saved quite a few frames.
3:24 Used the stair climb strat here, I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the falling chair, tried a few different inputs but nothing seemed to work so I just climbed as high as possible and jumped over it at the first possible frame.
3:32 Because the ship hasn't tilted back yet I jump at the first possible frame as climbing down is slower. (in this room is nearly lost all the time I had gained.) Waiting for the ship to tilt back (so you can freefall) is slower from what I have tested.
4:12 - 4:30 When climbing vertically, I found that it is faster to get as close as possible before you jump to place higher up rather than to jump at the first frame possible.
4:21 It's faster to jump off the ladder than to climb to the top and then jump, this saved a few frames.
3:36 Jumping to the other side as soon as possible is faster as you can get a faster climbing animation.
(I hope I have explained myself in a way that is understandable.)

Fog: Judging.
Fog: This run has been bested by rudath in what appears to be a frame war of sorts between the two. I would prefer that a submission be made after the frame war has ended, possibly with collaboration between the two authors.
Rejecting.

So there I was, going about my usual business, staring at a door for 30 seconds when suddenly...

For what it's worth, (I mentioned this on IRC, but not on the forum), I'm open to collaboration on this run to bring the final time down even further. I also think that since good work done has been done on both of our parts, that whatever the final product ends up being should be submitted as co-authors. In any case, here is a temp encode of the file linked above Link to video
