After the video ends, you need to use the chair to get on the ledge which needs another rifle grenade. That leaves you with 0 nades for level 16. So at some point between level 15 and the conveyor belt jump in level 16 you need to use something other than a rifle grenade.

Oh yeah, damn.
So a karbine jump at either level 15 start or level 16 start still needs to be replaced with a grenade-crossbow-jump, preferrably 15 again, because it is closer to the segment start.

I started recording the speedrun.

This has become easier since I have experience streaming SS for fun every now and then,
I "just" needed 2 hours for the first 3 levels so far:

This also worked well while streaming to twitch, so all my failures are recorded there. (Except for the first segment, I did that offline)
If we find anything new while recording I can still re-do everything, it takes me less attempts now than last year.

I found a new 14s save in level 2, so I would have to record quite a bit, but it's probably worth it.

You can't clip into bounds through the wall normally, but at that exact place you can because of all the other stuff you get in contact with or something. If you walk straight up to the turret the three allies won't spawn, you can still fight the enemies but nobody opens the grate for you and you softlock. ~~Walking towards the first guy spawns them all.~~

Edit: You can just walk up and to where the guy should spawn next to the turret and all 3 will spawn.

Hey, so it's been a while...
A new runner called 7Kgames came and found a whole lot of new stuff in the game, especially new ways of getting OOB and traversing levels while staying so. He did a speedrun in the new pacifist% category where he used a lot of the new stuff, even if it is not yet faster than my 43:07. I always joked around a bit, that speedrunning this game is the most peaceful option, but now he managed to kill no one but some helicopters in level 23 (probably drones...).

He can't speak English, so communication was hard with Google Translate and just showing stuff, so I write this here instead for him.

I will post a breakdown with all the new tricks we gathered soon, but until then you could watch the speedrun for anyone who is interested:

^^ Looks like the game isn't keeping track of kills is it? Was anyone thinking that could be a category accepted on SDA as well?

I know Russian so if you need help understanding or translating something I might be able to help.

I'm not sure right now if the game keeps track of kills, but maybe somewhere in the menu. The video looks good though.

Speaking of good videos: 7KGames just did it, he improved my segmented 43:06 time to 31:01 with new insane shortcuts and getting OOB in almost every level now. If you are interested in the game, have a look: https://www.speedrun.com/TimeShift/run/zq37101y
(You can still skip the zeppelin turret parts, there are no new tricks and they are autoscrollers)
