Complete Tricks/Glitches Guide

#Dash Jump  
A dash jump is when you dash then jump shortly after. The outcome is that you go a little bit higher. The reason behind it is that the jump causes you to go upwards, which the dash keeps that upward momentum as you dash. **This trick is not allowed in Glitchless, but will not be penalized if there's no advantage.**

#Blast Dash Jump  
Like doing a rocket jump, but also throwing in a dash. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**

#Dash Boost  
Dashing and holding a dash on a jump pad, allowing for extra height. This gives a considerable amount of height, nearly as much as a super jump. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**

#Wall Blast Jump  
As the name implies, this is a blast jump but using the wall for the blast to scale up a wall if no platform is beneath you. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless, although using just the blast against the wall is.**

#Super Jump  
Jump at the same time you hit a jump pad. The jump acts like extra height. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**

#Super Dash Jump  
Combining both a boost dash and super jump, a super dash jump is when you dash into a jump pad and hold it while jumping at the time of hitting the pad, giving you greater height than a normal super jump. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-AwOuJ-o8  

#Mega Jump  
Falling from a considerable distance away onto a jump pad then jump at the exact same time you hit the jump pad. The velocity of you coming down adds up with the jump pad, allowing insanely high jumps. The higher you go, the more velocity you will collect to go even higher. **Trick is not allowed in NMG or  Glitchless.**  
*Note: the super jump and mega jump both are frame-tight tricks*

#Curveboost  
A curveboost is when you dash off of some type of curvature allowing you to go upwards. This is due to the fact that the dash is meant to go forward, so when it hits off a curve it goes forward, but has to defy gravity and go off the curve’s angle. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**  
*Note: Curveboost is an umbrella term under curves, ledges, and corners and can also be used with or without a rocket jump*

#Gravity Boost  
While leaving a gravity field with upward momentum, if you input a dash jump while the camera is still rotating to its original orientation, you will get a large boost upwards. The height of your boost is impacted by how much of the dash meter you expend. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**

#Level Warping  
In the result screen at the end of a story level, rapidly clicking the continue button as it scrolls upwards off the screen allows you to skip levels due to each click incrementing the level index. **This trick is only allowed in Any%.**  

#Wall Clip  
Dashing between 2 perpendicular walls with a certain angle will make you pass through them. **Trick is not allowed in NMG or Glitchless.**  
Video coming soon  

#Wall Fling  
Stay in contact with a wall or platform as it rotates allowing you to be flung upwards. This is because of the momentum brought by the wall or platform. To gain more height, dash perpendicular to the movement of the platform during the rotation. **Trick is not allowed in Glitchless.**

#Horizontal Mega Jump  
##Horizontal Mega Jump (non-frame perfect)  
Shoot the button that flips the horizontal jump pad around and be right next to where it will point, when you shoot it jump and when it turns your way, you will fly upwards insanely fast. **Trick is not allowed in NMG or Glitchless.**  
https://i.imgur.com/Xyx2vqT.gif  

##Horizontal Mega Jump (frame perfect)  
Fall from about any distance above a blast jump onto a sideways jump pad. Try and hit right in between the block (which is required for this trick, if there is none it won’t work) and the jump pad. You will go insanely high up. What happens is you clip in between the block and the jump pad, and the jump pad shoots you forward, but it will act as a curveboost. **Trick is not allowed in NMG or Glitchless.**

#Fan Fling  
Fan fling allows you to gain enormous speeds and travel in the direction the fan blows. Similar to the to the gravity fling in the old version, but not patched. **Trick is not allowed in IGT categories except NG Legacy.**  
***Execution:***  
Get close to the fan so you can feel it’s attraction, closer – the better.  
Pause the game and wait required amount of time.  
Unpause and you’ll see the effect. With so much speed you basically travel through any solids in the game and can easily get out of the border of the map.  
Video soon to come  

#Infinite Collision Climbing  
Same as collision climbing, but infinite. Works with any tall corners.  
***Execution:***  
Get into the corner and jump. Because of how collision climbing works – all your jumps will be higher than normal.  
Dash into the corner. You must dash enough to clip INTO the corner, but not enough to clip THROUGH it.  
The game will push you out, but since you just were in the solid, you regained your second jump. Jump and repeat.  
Video soon to come  

#Legacy Tricks  
##Gravity Fling  
(Patched 1.2) Jump in a gravity field and wait a certain amount of time (min. 15s ?) depending on how much height you want to gain. **Only allowed in NG Legacy.**  
https://youtu.be/ohRJKSqFEMI?t=428  

##Blast Abuse  
(Patched 1.1) Rocket jumping up vertical or otherwise unscalable angles. **Only allowed in NG Legacy.**

Getting better

This guide will teach some of the new players the basics of getting better run times, I hope this can help a few people who will one day see this.

A big part of running DeadCore is doing the category you want. If you want to do Glitches allowed, keep in mind you will have to do a lot of really hard frame perfect tricks. You have some on NWNM and none in glitchless (keep in mind if you want to do glitchless or NWNM, there are certain glitches that aren't allowed, either because they are over powered glitches or because... it is a glitchless category) . So that is all I want to start off in. A few things I want to note is that you might want to view previous runs to get an idea of the route you want to take, if you want, you can improve on that route by making it more consistent for yourself or a faster route in general.

Basics to all categories:
So every category has some of the same attributes obviously. These are 1. Spamming blast jumps 2. Using a good boost management and 3. Consistency of not dying. Going over blast jumps, the best performance to do this trick is to aim 90 degrees down and blast and jump at the same time. The blast doesn't need to be full, it will always be the same height. Boost management is also very important. Some parts of every run need some type of good boost management in order for you to make it to certain areas. Best thing I can tell you is to try and press your dash key as fast as possible and let go. This allows you to go a considerable distance without wasting a lot of boost and is the best way to dash in long distances. Lastly, consistency. This mainly comes with just repetition of playing the game, but make sure to practice certain parts of your run if you keep dying there.

Glitches Allowed tricks:
-Practicing Mega Jumps - Practice those megas as much as possible, this is what makes this run so fast.
-Wall clips - Use those wall clips
-Watch Hasel's run on this category to get an idea of what you are doing

NWNM:
-Practice super jumps and curveboosts - Get these good, you don't want to lose a run to bad curveboosts and super jumps.
-Watch imawakkas run to get an idea of what you are doing

Glitchless:
-Boost management - Huge part of this run, just make sure to practice on boost management to make it the best possible, this category solely focuses on boost and how it can be used.
-Watch Nrrillinthases run on this category (self promotion much :>).

NG and NG+ are different categories, there isn't much of a difference in the categories other than the fact one will take longer than the other and the route is different,


If you need more help, looking for more information, or you have a pretty optimized time in which you need more help, here is a doc that goes into much more detail about basic mechanics and advanced techniques you can use for the mechanics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pf7StPme6qmyZcYGBRxMcidexNamqmChtfoSsQwlOhw/

Hope this helped!
