I was wondering if anyone can help me understand the fast strat for WF ^^

I know one way to have the boss "make you stand up" is killing the first chicken, but I see all fast strats somehow get away without killing it, and I fail to understand the alternative condition that guarantees that you will be able to kill the boss using slope glitch.

Thanks for any kind of help :)

As Chrezm kindly pointed me to his own youtube videos explaining the strats regarding Wing Fortress, I'll just post the links here for anyone looking for the same information.

The "Vegan" strat requires you to brake and generate a puff of smoke while getting the 3 rings right before the slope that you use to glitch to the boss room's ceiling.

Many thanks to chremz and to everyone that contributed to rev-eng this game and obtain these remarkable insights about how the game works and how to beat it as fast as possible :)

I shall add one additional information: The "vegan" strat as it's shown in the video works only with REV02 version of sonic 2, which is present only in the cartridge "sonic classics" (or "sonic compilation" in europe) which includes sonic 1 and 2.

In the previous versions of sonic 2 it doesn't seem to be possible to spindash straight from the falling blocks while not falling down.
