its like a risk/reward. adding it can really sink some time cause it can really be a gamble but its first level (if you start elevator) so I guess it doesn't really have too much to risk. I see you rising, good luck!

Nice!!!! Can you explain how you did the elevator skip? Looks like you had a set-up there?

I can't see the run anymore?!

Seems like it, I think it might have some sort of lag effect with the explosion sprites? so there's too many on the screen so it like doesn't spawn the buff dudes at the right moment. It does seem to be frame perfect, I have spent plenty of resets at this point trying to hit it in a run haha. I do have a bit of a set up. Basically the elevator bar passes gambits head I start the combo, count to 2 and then break the barrel as the first bar hits the top of the screen. I don't know if that explains it but sometimes I've hit it max streak of 7 times in a row in save state practice. I probably have a better clip of me explaining it ill try to find it in my recordings.

Sorry I realize it's not really a manip but like a skip, I just was hyped up.

I just wanted to post this because I noticed even in the any% run they didn't hit this manip. I am brand new to actually practicing this game but I have hit this a few times now. X-Men Snes Gambit Level One Elevator Manip. (language warning I get hype haha) I am running this live late nights after 11pm usually (central time) on funkyfuji on twitch if you wanna come talk X-men or other snes runs!
