Notes:
There are other double boss fights in this game, this is just the first of "one of the only". These are also special Cerberi, as they have noticeably more health than normal ones, and they are also physically larger. (It's true! Spawn a normal Cerberus in this room and see!)
Yes, the plural for specifically 2 is "Cerberi". If you had more than that (3+) it would be, in fact, "Cerberuses" (Greek is a weird language).
I shorten Cerberus to "Cerb" a few times. I harbor no resentment or ill-will towards Serbians or "Serbs", regardless of what the auto-generated subtitles may imply.
Yes, the actual name for shotgun spam tech is "duck boosting". This was agreed upon seriously by top runners. I dare not question it.

Errata (ft. BGB and Travis):
Railcoins were not "discovered" later they just were not in the game. cabal had found them before the game went into early access (he has access to the beta version) and hakita had patched them out before Early Access started but BGB had gotten hakita to add them back
Travis did discover coin adding later but mixing those two is confusing so the sentence at 16:16 could have been worded better
CJ is not the first person to use a railcoin to hit both cerbs in 0-5, as both BGB and pot had been doing the strat behind the pedestal in any% since September (CJ's run was in November) so that was more of a carry over of a strat from any% rather than a discovery of a new thing. He was also the second person to do coin adding in a run. Travis actually did it first in 0-3.
Locked had discovered and named dives back in the early demo days but slam slides and momentum slides were not a thing during that time (they were added with EA) so no one used them. it wasn't until BGB discovered slam storage could be used to benefit both the forward and upward speed of a dive that it began to be called USJ and dives were more recognized as useful tech.
