Hi FSA community,
I've been exploring potential timesaves for glitchless with a maneuver I'm sure someone else has used at some point before. This movement doesn't seem intended by the developers, nor does it feel much like a glitch either. It goes like this:
I separate and move a Link to a platform corner, then press X four times to precisely position Link in a square and reunite with Y. All four stand in one spot, and I press X again. Then I move Link diagonally away from the corner and he pushes the other three so they are standing in the exact middle point where edges meet pits.
With this, I've been able to do two major level skips:
- Key block skip in 5-3 by hitting a normally out of reach peg
- Roc's feather skip in 8-1 using C-right reunion
The roc's feather skip is actually still possible without this movement but it's much easier with it. Please let me know before I start doing full game runs with these shortcuts.
