Goliath skip setup?

Is there a setup for the Goliath skip? I can get small hops using the glitch, but these are very inconsistent and I've never gotten the large jump required for the skip.

I don't use that skip, so I don't have a method for doing so. Looking at your most recent run, you must not know about the other Goliath skip as shown here:

Also, if you want me to explain the mechanics of a cube jump so that you may find a setup, just say so.

I already know about that method, but I find the cube jump at the end too inconsistent. Could you please explain the mechanics?

This is how to make make a box jump work.

1.)You must have an open barrier. 2.)Place the center of the box on one side of the barrier. 3.)Make sure the center of the character is on the other side of the barrier. The character must be the correct distance away from the box. 4.)Grab the box and hold jump.

The most difficult part of box jumping is that it is difficult to find the correct distance between the character and the box. There are multiple things that affect the length of this distance, of which I will tell you the most important two.

1.)The distance between the center of the box and the barrier affects the distance the character should be from the box. The closer the box is to the barrier, the farther you must be from the box. 2.)The angle you approach the box affects distance the character should be from the box. In the video for example, you are at about a 5 to 10 degree angle to the barrier. 90 degrees would be straight through the barrier and 0 degrees would be impossible. The larger the angle (90 being the most), the farther you must be from the box.

Luckily, there is a trial-and-error method for knowing when you are the correct distance from the box. If you are too close to the box, you will glitch into it and move around weirdly, sometimes picking up the box. If you are too far from the box, you will pick it up and jump, with no resistance. If you pick up the box without moving, then your angle and the distance might be too small or you were not on the opposite side of the barrier. Otherwise, you should successfully perform a cube jump!

The easiest way to perform a box jump consistently is to use small details to make accurate setups. Hopefully you can find a way to do so with the Goliath skip.

Thanks for the information, I've gotten a few large jumps now, but I'm still working on a setup.
