Sometimes we can learn from others' mistakes ! I've since solved the room, more by luck than anything else. Once you've got the potion it's fairly easy, but getting to the potion is not.

Thanks.

I recently lost my save of TCB and have gotten back to this point without much trouble. I remember some of the parts after this but for some reason I can't get through this room.

I have tried delaying and rushing from both of the entrances but I can't even get past the statue in the middle before I get into a bad spot with one of the guards.(I even tried a kind of back and forth method but that went up in smoke so quickly that it is not very funny) I have noticed that I do get farther when I use the west entrance to the room, but because of the lack of checkpoints, I don't have have a safe way of retrying something only a few steps back.

Gods, I remember getting this room in one shot when I ran through it the first time.

I don't suppose someone has a good strong move set that would help with the start of the room?

Additionally, Azsedcf (mind if I call you Space Invader?--When you type out your username, the keys look like one of them.) you may still have your demo, even if you've lost your save. Have you tried F6 yet? If you have uploaded your score for that room, you should be able to download a demo, regardless of if it is still on your computer or not. That is, of course, if by save you didn't mean player. If that's the case, it's probably best to follow mxvladi's advice.
