Normal rolls: Basic way of moving in the game, you roll by either using a dedicated roll button or by holding A or D and then pressing S. This can be performed every 22 frames or 163.63 BPM. The best technique to do this is by timing the button presses, and not by mashing the roll button repeatedly. video of normal rolls

Crouch rolls: A more advanced way of moving in the game, you roll by holding the button S and roll with the buttons A or D, on controller hold down on the stick or d-pad and press roll. This causes the character to move faster but the roll cooldown is the same as with the normal rolls. This technique saves ~10 seconds over the span of the whole run, as such you do not have to bother picking it up for a long time, at least until the sub-20 range, and even then it is hardly a requirement to get good times in the game, however the earlier you pick it up, the less painful the transition will be. C-rolling is also more punishing to do than normal rolls, because if you mistime it, your character gets stuck in one spot until you roll again. You may also opt to just c-roll on flat surfaces with no enemies, as it's practically no different than just normal rolling, the difficult part is c-rolling while attacking enemies. Note: you cannot c-roll on platforms because you will fall down while holding down the S button, as such you still need to use normal rolls throughout your runs. video of crouch rolling

Crouch slashing: The fastest way of moving in the game, but also the hardest, so hard in-fact that it's only viable for top level IL runs or screen records, as such don't bother picking it up, you will only lose time as compared to just doing c-rolls. The way you do this technique is by weaving slashes in-between c-rolls, the fastest timings for this are: You start a c-roll, then slash after 10 frames, then do a c-roll after 12 frames rinse and repeat. video of crouch slashing
