Kinda catching up on this game. Do you guys have a discord?

Legend: in the TAS we're clipping through the right wall at the very start of 2-1 and cut a tiny corner, and turns out you need to be facing away from that diagonal wall to really get into it, while also diving down. Optionally hold the direction towards that wall at some point maybe.

In this particular place tho, I was able to dive-clip through that diagonal white wall while the fan was still on, and I clipped sooner maybe because I double-jumped for height before that, but I needed a damage boost while inside the wall so that I could double-jump again and fly far to the right, otherwise I just fall back in-bounds. So I had to disable the fan because it creates a damage box for it, I clip, get hit, hit C to regain control and fly right a little bit, then I get hit again and hit C again to really fly to the right. Dive in the end obviously. As you can see, floors are sticking right a bit, so I need to be even farther right.

Legend 2: was just watching Cypherin's guide and he mentioned he clipped through the entire level somehow. I had no idea where but this looks like the only useful place?

DAMN, THAT'S SOME GOOD OPTIMIZATION!

Actually this skip in doable on runs, but in order to do it we would need the pillar a little bit to the left so we mess around with the camera/goliath position to dive down, but the way you've shown it cuts the entire process of doing the setup (You can check either mine or treyvz runs for more info).

How long you've been studying the game, bud?

A little bit in 2015 when making that lua script based on Chris Shrigley's source code of this game. I was TASing this game alongside Archanfel but I only got to 2-3 in bizhawk while he made a complete test run in gens-rr.

BTW there's another clip in 1-3, much less powerful tho

OOOOH you're the one who were working with Archanfel!!

I talked with him years ago to see if he had some notes regarding this TAS since we were trying to optimize the game for the sub 12/low 11 attempts, but he didn't have it. It's great to see you around!

So on 1-3 it's possible to pass through the ground by air diving on that edge? Seems very doable!
