-----------------------------------------------
Better than the previous, still nowhere near perfect. Sub-21:00 won't take that much extra effort, though sub-20:00 will be very tough. While I explained most of my routing tips in the previous description, here I'm going to focus more on the tricks and tidbits I've discovered since my previous run.

L2M1: 2:32.28 :))
Orriii found a massive skip right at the beginning of this level. You can kinda scoot to the platform with the chaingun, skipping a pretty sizable part of the map. This also means that later, if you grab the red key, you can save the first use animation for the long lift, meaning you don't have to ever wait for it to come down for you.

L2M2: 3:04.65 :)
Some new jumps found on this map. I failed the first one (the hardest but saves the most time), which skips almost all of the map from blue key onwards - note that even if I got the jump, I'd still need to do some minor backtracking for the secret in the red key area. However, since I failed it, I had to take most of the normal route until a pretty easy rocket jump that saves around 20 seconds. If someone could get the harder jump in a run, that would make sub-20:00 much more likely.

L2M3: 3:35.77 :)
Slightly different route here where I raise some platforms early to avoid an autoscroller section. On the first Soulsphere secret, I avoid running down the stairs so that I can cross the linedef heading upward, but I butchered this part and had to wait a little.

L2M0: 1:23.14 :))
Calamity Blade carries. Love that gun. I hate this map, however; that ending was pretty close.

L2M4: 1:55.60 :))
Focused more on rocketing annoying enemies in the room with the Arachnotron and two Cacos. Also used more Calamity Blade to take out some annoying Pinkies.

L2M5: 3:20.08 :)
No major changes, just neater movement.

L2M6: 3:05.05 :)
I now use rockets on the Spectres in the first secret, though I really wouldn't recommend this. Also tried to make better use of the Calamity Blade in the two big fights, though I'm still not 100% confident in my proficiency with it.

L2M7: 2:21.22 :(
Butchered the end, though the rest went alright. Still not even bothering with the AV jump at the end.
