Thief also has superior mobility which would be amazing in this fractal
They trigger their cutscene instantly because of mysterious happenings

With AC story do you mean people teleporting while the gate is open or using Ride The Lightning above the gate without standing on the pressure plate? The former is totally legit to me, the latter is open to discussion.
P2 is fine to me, the Mesmer is just walking/rushing.
Not sure what you mean with P4, do you mean the skip to the Bloodstone Shard after getting out of the Water? Imo that is completly fine, otherwise jumping over rocks might be disallowed as well
To make the rule clear, you might change it to ‘jumping over gates/blockades that are cleared by an event in the dungeon is not allowed’ or something along the lines of that. In addition to the ‘out of bounds’ rule this should cover everything.
What do you think?

I don’t think so we just had ridiculous RNG on 2nd boss and carrier. We also did some stuff that made our run faster from 1st portal to 2nd one but didn’t kill the NPC as reliably
In that specific run at least
Can’t wait until a less than 3 minute time is made.
Yeah, I don’t know where in that video they could’ve saved 2 seconds. It was nearly perfect.
Different strategies are always possible
Well, we posted it yesterday so it’s not surprising that it wasn’t approved yet
1: How do you come up with these strategies?(noteable ones being AC p1 hodgins split, and the new IV se p3 portal strats)
We don’t come up with these strategies over night. About SE p3 specificly: We did our first record of that path back in December. We got 3:47 in our fastest run but didn’t manage to kill the NPC even after some testing so we uploaded that run.
In the upcoming daily runs we always looked for the NPC if it died kept testing and refining our strategies. When we got it to work consistently we started going for the record ~2 months ago but people got busy with university/real life before we got a time we were happy with.
Yesterday we still changed a lot, but core strategy was killing the NPC which we found out back then. Before we start a record we always have one (or more) things that we want to do and change other stuff while attempting for the record. We do those smaller changes based on experience and obviously testing.
Just never expect stuff to work after one just one try.
2: How long does it take minimum to maximum to actually get a record run?
Our 18:25 arah p4 was done in ~2 hours but it was a pretty bad run. For the SE p3 run we took ~5 hours (2 hours on the first day until my internet died, 3 hours on Friday). For our SE p1 we grinded 7 hours on one day which was a pretty bad experience imo. These times are without testing stuff.
3: If a strategy does not work because of players executing them incorrectly, do you stick with it if in theory, they should speed up the run?
We always try to make our strategies less risky. But generally we try to stick with what is (in our opinion) the fastest. You should put things into perspective, if you can safe 2 seconds but will have to do 10 more runs, is it worth it? What if you could safe 20 seconds with it? Can’t give you an example in our runs, the one that I thought of is still in progress
4: How often do you expect fail runs and resets?
Well, you will never get a record on the first try (unless the current record is really bad). We always do a couple of practice runs before recording to make sure everyone knows what he has to do, then we start recording.
Fennec, Yui, D\erpy and me have been doing records together for quite a while now and I really enjoy playing with them, even if stuff goes wrong we are usually joking on TS. So moral is never a problem for us.
