gorillax you're right in thinking that i just used the one u proposed as a backup whenever the intented strat didnt work (every time)

I figure that's the best plan even if i'm annoyed at times. better to get good than take the easy way out

Gorillax, that slow way you described is what i was doing already. Chancellor_Pepetine, thanks for the video. I'll keep it in the route and just try to improve ^^ Thank you so much for the answers!

hi there! ^____^ im a new runner and am currently quite unskilled at the game. (my first run was around 40 minutes, didnt submit to here because bad recording setup with no sound but that will change soon) i've been having a rough time specifically in SSL, its hard to get the setup off the fly guy into the bird and i end up doing that section incredibly slowly, sometimes unnecessarily losing lives, and honestly not having too much fun with it. i've stuck with it because i figure as my movement and general game skills get better it'll be less of a hassle + its good to practice this star from the start. but i was wondering if the first floor slide star (or something else?) is a viable alternative, or if i should continue to use this route to not stunt my growth. Thanks!!
