Comments:
Really amazing level for tricks; there's probably at least10 different routes I could think of to get to the exit.
No need to skip the teleport linedef, which is far too difficult given that the only direction that there's enough movement space to build up the speed necessary to skip is northward, which makes the skip much harder. Getting the rocket launcher to skip from the other directions takes too much time anyway. However, it really isn't that hard to run on the edge of the teleport and jump to the window, trivializing this level even further. This route, moreover, could also be done non-TAS.
Not sure if 4 seconds is yet optimal, though. I doubt that any small optimizations could get this to 3, but perhaps if the glide could be done in air, along with an absolute perfect wallrun and maybe some diagonal wallruns, 3 might be achievable. However, I've found in other glides that even if I do reach the perfect glide coordinates with any right or left momentum, I still slide alongside the glide, and that, therefore, in order to get an instant glide, there needs to me no momentum in those directions at all, which is essentially impossible here.
