Okay, serious question for all the speedrunners out there. We talk a lot about the "zero cycle" vs "one cycle" for end portal rooms, but what do you *really* think is the consistent play?
I've been trying to get faster with my runs, and I see arguments for both. Zero cycle is obviously faster if you hit it, but the risk of missing and losing crucial time seems higher. One cycle feels safer, more consistent, but then you're guaranteed to add that extra time.
Is it just a skill issue with timing the zero cycle, or is the one cycle genuinely the more strategic move for consistent PBs? What are your experiences? Anyone else noticed certain world seeds favor one over the other? I'm curious what the community consensus is
