We do a little sequence breaking.

Individual Level speedrun - The Witch - Disciple difficulty - PC EU - in 44s 066ms

0:16 abusing the vacuum effect of "Killing Blow Level 3" to move the enemy to the closest wall, and 1-hit-killing with the busted "Focus Aerial Throw Level 3". The Focus in FATL3 should be activated at the last moment (frame 51938) for even higher damage. There are so many possible outcomes from doing this, here's some:
- crash with a "buffer overrun" error https://i.imgur.com/SgxzFiG.png
- crash without an error
- corrupted cutscene + corrupted boss fight sequence. Boss survives and immediately attacks you with the staff while still teleporting away when approached
- corrupted cutscene + soft-lock because after the boss dies your ally clips under the floor and despawns/dies without unlocking the door
- the optimal outcome shown in this video where your ally survives and unlocks the door. Using the corner of the map and being predictable with the Focus timing makes the setup more consistent
0:40 the only way to damage your ally here is by throwing a weapon at her, and doing so has a random chance of interrupting the dialogue!

Mini Padder was used for the gamepad overlay, and Special K for the live frame counter.
