Timecodes

• Timing (1:20)
• Control (1:50)
• Stage 01 (3:58)
• AI (6:30)
• Alerts (8:30)

• On reaction for first guard on second screen, hold right when he spots you to avoid getting hit on Any% Hard. Example here
• Rest of the stage move like on Very Hard, 35 still possible.

• On the bridge, it is recommended to hug the right hedge before entering the screen, and do a small zigzag (1 to 2 steps to the right). This avoids getting spotted by the first guard, while running past the final pair of guards. This is a very small frame buffer.
