If you saw in my Any%/1-9 WR's, you would've saw that in Level 6, I got this weird boost while jumping. This trick, 6 months ago I called Ledge boosting. It's unknown why this happens to this day. I'm going to explain to you how to do a kind of-consistent set up for what is 100% as of writing this the hardest strat in this game. If done well could save a hefty amount of time.
To start off, where could this be useful, I've got a few levels.
Level 2: when jumping off of the first box Level 3: to boost into the portal Level 5: To boost into the portal again Level 6: to boost into either robot Level 8: to get a little head start into the bot bounce (Tutorial on that next week :D)
Now to start on the actual trick. Every ledge could do this trick, you just have to hit it in the right way. I'll be honest, Chroma is buggy as FUCK, so sometimes when you land on a ledge, the character freaks out. I believe this is what causes it. If you have enough speed, it's stored, but it gives either x2 or x2.5 the speed. That's why it gives so much speed.
To do this trick, you'll have to land on the ledge and get the character to freak out. When I said it stores the speed, it stores it for only 15-30 frames. In this timespan, you'll want to jump in the direction you want to go. Make sure you react in time for anything that's coming your way.
That's Ledge Booster! If you want a more in depth tutorial, I plan on making one when the game gets more popular. Note that this isn't very consistent, so it's either pure luck, or skill if you get it.
Thanks for reading.
