This is a Tool-Assisted Superplay/Speedrun (often abbreviated to "TAS") where a player can edit, rerecord, and manipulate a game into doing whatever that person desires. Visit http://tasvideos.org/ for more information.

Many years ago, there were two different TASes that used very different strategies and both got 0:19, so I set out to beat both of them with this TAS. The final decimal is 18.73, and I don't think 0:17 is possible.

Using 2.4 and the correct cutscene, a guard is lured to open both back doors, and then to also pull a Grenade to be used for two of the cameras. Full speed is also charged like normal for the start, but the timing of it is such that full speed is only reached after turning around to avoid unnecessarily running in the wrong direction. The first pause doesn't take place until up to the glass doors so that full speed is maintained for much longer. From there, the rest of the objectives are finished and a lot of nice guard boosts are received.

This was quite a bit more difficult to make than it may look. The Grenade throw has to carefully load the back side so it doesn't fall into the void, and also land in a very precise spot to blow up both cameras. The third camera is also shot through the backside and into the lens since the timing of the cutscene results in it completely facing away when getting to it. The rest of the challenge is getting nice guard luck.

Really happy with the result and to improve over the two very ancient TASes from well over a decade ago!
