Say I'm speedrunning Undertale. This usually means you're doing a genocide run, and need to kill a certain number of enemies per section.
Snowdin in particular seems difficult to get the right number of enemies to spawn.
-
In the Ruins, you can run circles in the room right under the candy.
-
Hotland is quite easy to get the right number of kills just by taking the usual path.
-
The Core has the final bridge before the Mettaton fight.
I can't figure out Snowdin. Where should I walk to maximize the number of encounters?

The best spot to grind encounters in Snowdin is on the last screen before reaching Snowdin town. This way, you minimize the amount of "but nobody came" encounters throughout Snowdin. This is based on current WR strats.
Entering Snowdin Town and then immediately going back to grinding also appears to be a time save, since the WR, 2nd place, and 3rd place runs do this. This is likely because encounters are based on step count and RNG, and your step count resets when you enter a room.
