Information: The 5-9 Laser Skip, or just simply Laser Skip, is one of, if not, the hardest tricks in the game. It saves roughly ~2 seconds, and is mostly an advanced strategy. I do not recommend this trick to new speedrunners of the game.

Preforming the trick:

Immediately preform the level like normal until the last section of the first platform. Normally, you would be forced to stop and wait for a laser to fire, otherwise it would kill you. However, we are not going to do this.

Instead of stopping like normal, continue the level. When you get to the second set of lasers, stop for only a split second. The lasers will fire, which would normally kill you. If you manage to time it just right, though, you can continue going left. Be careful, though, as even being a hair off of timing your movement can still kill you. There is a very small visual cue that can help you, though. Look at the lasers above you. When they touch the first platform, move like normal. This is extremely hard to time, but if you did it correctly, then congrats! You just did one of the hardest tricks in the entire game!

There are a few other methods to this trick, but this is how I preform it. If you have any further questions, feel free to join us on the YH10S Discord server and we will be glad to help. Have a good one!
