Remember going through PYR the first time? Right after you open the security doors, you go right, there's a room with those big snake things, if you go to the top door there's a barrier. You have to go down, shoot the gate, and speed boost through to get to a shaft with a broken door and a non-broken one. The non-broken one leads to the area with the barrier. There's a missile tank right in your path as you morph through. No way around it.
A screenshot from sess's run and 2 minutes on paint can do wonders. This is the unavoidable tank in the 1% run
I should have drawn a red circle around it
Edit: The reason he has 11 missiles is because I took the screenshot as soon as he got it but a split second before the "missile tank acquired" thing popped up.

Don't you only get 10 missiles in a 1% run?
EDIT: is it 15? I don't remember....
You start with 10 missiles, and each tank adds 5. So, 15 missiles.
That damn missile tank IS INDEED AVOIDABLE!!! To the left of it is a bombable block, which you can access through the lower shaft, and bypass the missile pack there!!!! :P I'll try to get my screens now to prove it!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Erm...correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that also open up a passage below that you immediatly fall through. I remember trying that once...
Actually, I think there's a pit block before that missile thank on the lower level. The block is for getting out easy. But I do hope DZ is right...that would be sooooooo cool.
Uhh, crap, I mistook the spot. :P The bombable block I spoke about is right beneath the missile tank, so it is indeed unavoidable... Man, and I thought I could become a community hero... *cries*
If it was that easy to avoid, someone would have found it now. Pretty much the only way to pass it would be to spark through the barrier-X. But I don't see that happening anytime soon.
