Ov's video: F E A R Perseus Mandate Low difficulty in 45:41 44:00 SDA

Came up with a few new strategies since my previous personal best, perhaps the last strategic improvements this game will see for a while: * In Interval 3-2, I've now using the Lightning Arc Weapon (LAW) against the Leviathan as opposed to the Rocket Launcher. The Leviathan, after being struck by the 6 proxy mines throughout the stage per usual, takes either 6 rocket volleys OR 8 lightning bolts to down - the latter being around 4 seconds faster. In addition, I've started tossing 2 frag grenades at the Leviathan at the start of the hallway chase, as this appears to lower the lightning bolts needed by 1 (turning 8 bolts into 7 bolts) when they land. (why it took me so long to realize the above, I'm not sure... at least I did eventually, right?) * Also in Interval 3-2, I figured out that it's possible to crouch slide at 19:00 as long as the player crouches down fully before performing the slide. This is totally consistent and only ~0.2s slower than crossing over immediately with a jump and precise scroll-wheel-crouch input, which is what I was doing before and something I only found myself ~80% consistent at, with each miss costing at least 2 seconds. * Due to the amount of LAW ammo expended in Interval 3-2, I've practiced alternate strategies in the event of low LAW ammo against relevant enemies in Intervals 4-1 and 7-2. This is a decent run overall. Lost a few seconds in 4-1, 6-1, 7-2, and 7-3 respectively. Will be trying to improve further still. Real time is the full length of the run, loading screens and all. SDA timing is the full length of the run minus the time that the game spends paused while creating/loading saves/stages. Basically, real time includes loads and SDA timing excludes loads (calculated to the best of my ability). Because loads are a variable and will be different between runners due primarily to hardware, many people do not prioritize runs such as these by real time, but the choice is yours.
