if you try and do LR2 skip as solo sonic, you need to do a stair clip in LR1 that for some reason just seems to not work most of the time even if you get it. no one is forced or expected to help me with this but any help is greatly appreciated cuz i've had runs that lost like 2+ minutes to this and it's so frustrating cuz idk what to do (also i forgot the title of this post said it was meant to be a question lol)

I seem to recall Chrezm saying that you need to tap left very briefly once stair clipped in and before Sonic lands on the ground inside.

oh ok so in other words i need to pause buffer a little to time that left tap, thanks i'll try that out

for anybody that checks this post in the future, what chrezm does is he holds left and uses the fire shield once sonic is about to land on the stair and is also inside it
