For the courtyard, that was not even routed at all. I am totally aware that it can be done a hell of a lot faster. I just did it extremely safely, because I had no intentions of doing that part twice if you know what I mean.
Fun story: I actually DID fail this part once. That is why I went into super safe mode.
Normally I do it a lot faster. I have a route burned into my brain for the courtyard, I just didn't want to risk anything in any way when recording, no matter how safe it was.
And I also did bad while traveling aswell. I were supposed to do a bombslide every time (which I honestly is excellent at. I can change direction without any problems at all, as often as I want. I fail maybe every 10th turn, maybe not even that, but that is when I do not pay enough attention).
I can't remember, but I didn't even backwalk, did I? I think I just rolled like an idiot.
Anyway, you should not compare anything with my playthrough, since it wasn't even NG+, and it was not created to be compared with. It was created to show people the basics of the route.
