I've seen that video actually! NHG even spoke to Frederic at some event in France last year... he asked him all sorts of things.
Edward is taller than Emily? I thought it was the other way around! I thought he looked shorter. Him being thinner COULD potentially affect some stuff but we really haven't seen any differences. On the other hand we knew that Emily runs a bit faster (I wonder if she corners slower?), about 1/12 faster. You can tell because when you listen to their footsteps you can measure their beat, and both have the same beat, however Emily will have gotten further in the same number of [running] steps, therefore she is faster. NHG confirmed that you can do something in the boss room with Emily that fails with Edward.
I will later do a pass on everything that has been said on the thread recently (thanks to your input) and edit in bits and pieces for the Guide but I might have to start a new sub-page for some of it (or submit to the wikia wiki) unless we can find speedrun applications.
That screenshot: I'm guessing it's not another secret room (or even dark necessarily) but rather they never finished the art for that corridor. So yeah the second theory is the one I like. BTW could I possibly take a look at those 144 pictures you extracted? I only have 137 after doing a thorough scouring of the entire game, so I should be able to recognize which ones are not normally accessible.
We also knew about the growling sound in front of the curtains. It's a bit random but that IS one of the bird assault rooms.
Yeah, NHG had to look around OOB for quite a bit to find the triggers. I've done a good amount of wondering about aimlessly myself... It's really great there's people about who are able to somehow get all that data from the game itself! There's a lot of runs that will benefit hugely from stuff like that, especially if no-one has TASed the same game. At the same time you can't replace some amount of aimless wanderings to get more ideas for what to look for in the code! Did you already read our Guide? If there's anything there that you think you might have an explanation or any comments on feel free to do so!
I'm looking forwards to testing the coordinates' viewer...
