Strat: Skip Violet center heal, Potion before/after Albert and teach mud slap on same menu, skip exp and fight Daniel. leer + mud slap Daniel Timings + Teach Mud Slap: +14.8s Pick up Potion: +5s (don't necessarily lose all this time as a lot of runs have to potion before Ray at some point anyway) Heal from Menu: +3.8s Scratch Albert: ? Total: +23.6s - Daniel Fight: -10s Skip Center Heal: -12.5s No mud slap in inventory: ?? 1 input in ilex, 1 input in ecruteak, 1 input if late strength teach, 1 input in radio tower, underground menu????, 1 input in Blackthorn ~ -1s Total: -23.5s Net: +0.3s Other notable factors: > option to just take center and do normal strats if very low > hit self on albert is usually GG/have to pick up super > can't fight ralph -> safer but slower optimally > can kill encounters on r32 to get exp in addition to daniel > most encounters are useless > gives +1 happiness > health exiting the fight will generally be higher than most normal Daniel ranges To Do: Test Albert at low HP (current tests suggest 70% winrate at 11hp) Mud Slap in after union cave: Can mud slap ekans 1-2 times to help reduce damage Can mud slap Koffing at lvl 15 1-2 times to reduce damage Can mud slap Gastly turn 1 to reduce Hypnosis/lick para chance Can't leer Paras, so usually costs a turn unless you would have missed the range. Overall slower most of the time to keep. Conclusions: Needs testing in runs/full tests to see how viable it is time/safety wise
