im new to portal speedruns (actually this is the first pc game ive ever ran) Can someone tell me what AFH, ASH, LAG, AAG, OoB, and VWW mean? and is Bhoping allowed?
I know im ignorant lol, but ive never even played portal till today.
AFH is accelerated forward hop, basically you crouch, jump, and hold s and you can move very fast forwards. It's easier to do it backwards though (ABH). You just don't hold s.
ASH is the same, but sideways. It stands for accelerated side hop. It's slower.
LAG is large angle glitch. It's done to skip most of chamber 19.
OoB means out of bounds.
I'm not sure about the rest of the acronyms.
Bhoping is allowed, but it's faster to ABH, so it's only used in glitchless
Pls, visit Guides section: https://www.speedrun.com/Portal/guides Descriptions (unfortunately, sometimes very short) of tricks in SourceRunsWiki: https://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/Category:Portal
you can also ask for help in related discord server
try to explore youtube (speedrunners channels or just use search) for example, good tutorial about Vertical Wall Warp:
It was recently discovered that it is possible to set your mouse sensitivity to a value so high that the game considers it infinite, leading to several new glitchy techniques being discovered.
The rules have now been amended to ban these new techniques in both Inbounds No SLA Legacy and Glitchless.
