How to beat Harley's goons when Speedrunning Hard mode. At this point the only combat upgrades I have are Twin and Combo Batarangs. In this fight, the goons come in waves; once you have nearly KO'd all the goons in one wave, the goons in the next wave will spawn on one of the platforms you are not on. In addition, the three floors electrify in sequence (middle, right, left).

This particular recording was great for execution but I also skipped a floor because I was able to get the final set of goons to join me on the left floor before it started warming up. That requires both luck and execution.

A few things to note:

You can knock goons off with the gel. If you knock any of the first wave off with the gel then the second set may spawn on the right floor, which actually tends to be slightly slower for whatever reason.

If you time your Floor Takedown correctly, you can "catch" a goon while he is being exploded, although this is tricky. It's quite easy on the first gel though, as the spot I stand in usually has 2-3 goons flying through it, so the odds of catching one is quite high.

If you take out the first wave quickly (but not too quickly) then 1 or 2 goons from the next wave will join you on the center arena right before it becomes too dangerous. That's your chance to batarang them and let the floor finish them off.

Bataranging the goon in the second wave off the ledge was almost pure luck, that happens maybe 10% of the time. I whiffed a punch in order to get the quicker Floor Takedown animation.
