	Founded by, Theguesst, Charge Boost +1 or more commonly referred to as +1 is a frame perfect trick that gives you even more horizontal movement, but is harder to master. The general idea of what you need to do to pull off a +1 is as you release the button to do a CB instantly hit the button again (I prefer to double tap this IE double tapping the button for a combo in Street Fighter.) if done properly you should see Strider sort of lurch forward and hang in the air for the slightest of seconds. Once you have this down you can use it to not only move faster through the levels, but also bypass the train switch before the Sisters 1 fight and get to the platform above the Sisters 2 fight which begins the new any% route.

If you stand a short distance from the edge of a platform/ledge, then slide, and release Down on the Analog Stick, you will continue sliding off the ledge and through the air. This will maintain higher air speed at a much more horizontal vector in a glide of sorts. This technique is generally useful off high ledges in large open rooms, such as the first section of "Military Ring". The slide is not infinite sadly, and you transition back to normal air movement shortly. If you are too far from the ledge you will still slide in air but at a much lower speed, it is very noticeable when this happens. Sliding in air is 17% faster than regular air speed. Once the slide ends, start using CB's. The Plasma Catapult surpasses this technique's effectiveness completely.

 Sliding is slightly faster than running and is useful for moving through enemies without stopping to kill them, or wasting time jumping over them.  Once you can perform Charge Boosts, it can be faster to jump and CB over enemies, depending on their numbers and position.  Sliding also inflicts minor damage after obtaining the Slide Assault Upgrade, but this is too weak to be of speed running use.

 == Plasma Catapult ==
 The Plasma Catapult or PC is a required upgrade picked up in the game, but is also the fastest possible way to move.  It is an omnidirectional dash that can be used on the ground or in the air.  You may hold down the button to stop all momentum and hover briefly, and aim the PC in any direction.  Stopping is generally bad for speed runs, and it is superior to tap the button for instant PC's in the currently held direction.  If the PC ends on the ground, it has no recovery.  If the PC ends in the air, it has an undesirable air recovery period.  PC has a cooldown that prevents repeated use in quick succession.  Because of this cooldown, it is still necessary to use movement techniques like CB's in between PC's for optimal speed.  PC's cancel your Charge Strike and you have to re-charge.  They also cancel many animations instantly, including Downstrikes.  Finally, they can be used to open Plasma locked doors instead of attacking with the Cypher, which often saves time.
