The second one I thought of aswell, it's possible to swing around the corner so you don't even need the light bridge

I can post a demo video but its pretty easy

Post these in Discord (#p2-mod-strat-vids) https://discord.gg/p2sr

i normally do the light bridge skip in my runs, never thought of the conversion gel skips, probably saves a minute or two.

So for anyone who was wondering if you can just rely on blind luck to have the cube land on the button, you cant, there is like, an invisible force that pushes the cube away from the button

Yeah thats how I do it, but I place the portal before going into the tube the first time
