Updoor
Updoor is a trick that allows you to save time by skipping the animation of unlocking the door. You can perform this trick by holding UP to open a locked door as you land back down from doing an Uppercut. However, Updoor will only work if the uppercut animation has played fully, which can make the trick harder or impossible to do in cramped areas.
Updoor Variants
If performing Updoor from a standstill won't cut it, there are several ways to shorten the uppercut animation. This can enable Updoor in cramped spaces where it would otherwise be impossible to perform.
Dash/Aerial Updoor
Uppercuts done while Mach Dashing or in midair don't reach as high, which in turn reduces the time the animation takes to finish. This variant is preffered due to its reliability and being the fastest to perform out of the bunch. To avoid mistakenly performing a superjump, you can roll, then buffer the uppercut as you stand back up.
Supertaunt Updoor
|
Supertaunting and inputting an uppercut on the same frame makes it possible to skip the entirety of the uppercut animation, allowing you to perform Updoor on virtually every locked door in the game. This can be combined with the Dash/Aerial technique to further shorten the animation. Performing this tech would save around 0.7s, while trying and failing to perform this tech would lose around 0.6s for uppercutting and around 1.0s for supertaunting. To make this trick easier to perform, it is recommended to bind TAUNT, GRAB, and UP to a button to create a dedicated supertaunt updoor button. Where available, it is also easier to perform a supertaunt updoor by getting into a neutral state by jumping into a wall and releasing the run button.

Taunt Updoor
It is also possible to shorten the Uppercut animation by performing a normal taunt on the same frame. However, using this method will cause the animation to be shortened by a completely a random number of frames from 0 to 10. Since there's no guarantee that this technique will shorten the animation enough (if at all), it is strictly a TAS-only trick.
