Water is a bit different on each planet.
For Nautica 1 it's best to combine skipping across the water and booming once you reach the clouds, with booming into the water then hold up on the camera and spam jump to get out of it faster.
Nautica 2 is different. You can actually gain speed by going under the water. It's best to boom into the water and spam jump. This will give you great height. The fastest route for the powerups is Far/Mid/Close.
For Darwin the fastest strat is to get a boom and maintain it under the water all the way to the end of the level.
Obias' water slows you down so avoid it when you can
During the Hide and Seek segment after exiting the vent to get the bunny I pressed x and got stuck in the wall.
I'm going to try this method on other ledges like the first and second ledges for the first Knight scene.
At 22:53 of Gaji Tsuu's 58:16 run he gets the knight teleport. This time no spamming, he just does an input and teleports through the wall into the loading zone. This clip is necessary to continue to show competitive times. Please help me look into how to teleport near edges as the knight.
Trying to figure out how gaji tsuu teleported to the elevator shaft in the swamp knight segment. He stands and the ledge and you can hear clear signs of input spamming and then he teleports to the loading zone skipping combat and the elevator ride. If we figure out how this works maybe teleportation can work at all ledges in the knight segments.
Uploading a new run now that has knight clip. Like I thought you stand on the platform and hold left. When you clip the game lets you dash. When I hit the left wall I held up and it dropped me down.
In my run I do the same. At 53:08 I hold right and the jumping down animation switches from right to left pushing me into the ground.
So I was watching the run by gaji_tsuu and I noticed he got the Knight clip but held right and got out of it. At 53:25 he steps directly on the middle of the platform and holds left. I think if he continued to hold left he could have went all the way to the side and dropped down skipping that floor's combat like in my run.
- At 16:54 of my video I'm talking to Turkeyface while on the other side of the bridge on the ledge beneath.
- I push the other side of the bridge down
- As Turkeyface revs up his jumping thrusters I reveal the gooed up elevator
- At 17:38 Turkeyface says that I saved him from quite a distance away
- At 18:20 I spam roll to removed the note screen quickly
- At 18:24 something weird happens when I try to fall through the platform
- At 18:30 I die to teleport to the door
I tried it again by going to chapter select with the same save file and it worked (sadly I wasn't recording). On my second try with the same save file it didn't work and the cutscene wasn't skipped. After that all tries failed. I assume that means that if the cutscene loads even once you cant replicate the skip on that save file. I'm currently trying again on fresh save files and deleting them when they fail.
