Post them! Videos are preferred, but if you can explain things in good enough detail through text, that's ok as well.
Alright, since we've got some exposure from SGDQ, here's what I've found so far in the degree of usefulness.
OOB end of level trigger on Slums
Slums stair skip on Slums (2:40)
OOB on Tai O
It looks to me like this skips the trigger for the standoff, and so it doesn't occur. And once you skip it you don't take anymore damage from anything until the next standoff.
I know this thread is 8 years old but I did find a faster + relatively easier way to skip the first shootout. Also comes with the benefit of infinite health and ammo until the restaurant bit of the level.
It is actually possible to load the autoscroller area and walk almost to the end of it, unfortunately the terrain doesn't extend far enough to skip everything :(
You cannot proceed past this point
You can't get to the dock bomb area either, same problem
All the other levels where downclipping would be useful (pent, mega) just crash if you get in an area early
Unfortunately I had already messed around with the autoscroller area stuff and found absolutely nothing except instant death barriers so I'm not super disappointed by that news, but sad to hear nonetheless :(
How did you set up the frame limit by the way? I'm messing around with the settings and for some reason RTSS is just not letting me limit my frames whatsoever
You need to enable frame limiting in the settings, it's a separate checkbox for whatever reason
All the other levels where downclipping would be useful (pent, mega) just crash if you get in an area early
Would anything museum be feasible at all? Would love to experiment but need to sleep.
Either way, these are some really cool finds that I would have never even thought of. I do remember trying to somehow get out of Tai O's spawn, but never really occurred to me to use a frame limiter
Had a play around with market skip and I can't seem to get the final enemies to spawn to progress to the teahouse? Absolutely strange
To reproduce - press shift on a pillar, press shift again to stop covering, walk away a tiny bit, press shift to snap back, press shift again - you will get a tiny elevator. It elevates you much higher in slowmo.
You can clip through ceilings with it, sometimes even walls
