 Kunai can pass through some surfaces to hit the switches for Kunai doors from the wrong side.  Many of these doors were intended to be one-way, but can be opened from the wrong side with this glitch.  This does not work on all doors, and even when it does you must know where the switch is and have an unobstructed shot to it.  Most optional Plasma Kunai upgrades make this glitch harder to perform, but the Magnetic Plasma Kunai upgrade makes it much easier as Kunai now readily penetrate all surfaces.

 During the first Ouroboros fight, you can reduce even negates the effect of the wind when Ouroboros accelerate. To do so, On PC put your refresh rate at 59 hertz, hold the left key on your keyboard and mash the right key. On console, wiggle your stick left and right constantly. By doing so you will stay close the blue tube, skip a phase and end the fight much quicker.

You lose a second or two doing this if your mashing skills are average, but I think this could be a faster way to kill Ouro if your mashing skills are very good.

 The Plasma Cypher is Strider Hiryu's primary weapon, and can attack in all 8 directions.  It is also a button masher's best friend: you can attack as fast as you can mash the button.  Attacking while moving does not slow you down.  Charged Cypher Strikes double damage and range for a single hit.  The charge time is very short, but it is significantly less DPS to try and chain Charged Strikes instead of mashing uncharged ones.  The attack is still useful as a first hit on enemies and for breaking many shields.  It also enables you to use Charge Boosts, explained in [[Strider (2014)/Movement Techniques|Movement Techniques]].  Of the 4 Plasma Types that you gain access to, Explosive Plasma deals extra damage and is the one you will use most often in a speed run.  Ultra Cold Plasma turns enemies into platforms and disables them completely, which may have speed running uses.  Switching equipped Plasma Type is instant and does not disrupt the current Charge Strike.  An effective strategy for durable enemies on Hard Mode is to use a Charged Ultra Cold Plasma Cypher Strike to freeze them and immediately start mashing while switching to Explosive Plasma.  The optional Magnetic Plasma Catapult Upgrade is even more effective for the disabling strategy, as it affects stronger foes like Brainwalkers who are immune to Ultra Cold Plasma.
 == Kunai ==
 <br />
-Ordinarily, Kunai are thrown in the direction of the left analog stick.  Kunai can be thrown at any analog angle independent of your movement by using the right analog stick instead.  This allows you to dispatch distracting or troublesome enemies without slowing down to go attack them head-on.  Kunai damage stacks with each projectile and they can be "shotgunned" at close range.  The optional Kunai upgrades dramatically increase their effectiveness if you take extra time to grab them, and Kunai become monstrous in 100% runs.  If killing enemies is the priority, Magnetic Kunai work best at long ranges, while Explosive Kunai work better at close ranges.  If disabling them is the priority, Ice Kunai work amazingly but some stronger enemies are immune.  Reflect Kunai have little practical use in a speed run.
