You can save ~4s compared to the original zip method. There is a safe way to perform the Richter zip (which saves ~2s) and the more optimal way (~4s).  <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:560px">'''4-4 Richter Zip Tutorial (by Jay_Cee)'''<div class="mw-collapsible-content">{{#evt: service=twitchvod|id=1047072938|dimensions=560|urlargs=autoplay=false&parent=castlevaniaspeedruns.com}}https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1047072938</div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:560px">'''4-4 Richter ZipTutorial (by crismas) '''<div class="mw-collapsible-content">{{#ev:youtube|XbhH7anKQbI|560}}'''Notes:'''*A little informal of a video but it should explain the basics on how to perform the trick.</div></div> '''Variant''': A variant of the zip was found by ppchan, allows to avoid the crushers at the end (and is about 0.8s faster) <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:560px">'''pp-richter zip showcase'''<div class="mw-collapsible-content">{{#ev:youtube|wXgptkOwxKsMJFuPpxhl-o|560}}</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">{{#ev:youtube|3R_b4D55h5g|560}}

It is considerably harder than the Skeleton with invincibility candle above it, when you drop down richter zip and is probably not a good idea to the ledge after, turn backward then proceedgo for, it will mostly fix as the spawnspp zip is even faster and a lot easier to execute.
