[section=Intro] (FIRST DRAFT OF THE GUIDE, WILL BE UPDATED LATER)

For as long as we can remember, Clody skip has been one of the last and worst potential run killers. That era is now over. During practice at ESA 2019, I had a hard time making Harry run perfectly straight with the analog stick (previously necessary for this skip), so I sat down with StarrlightSims and we started looking for a setup, once again. We found a great setup which was used during the marathon run which got the trick first try. But just as we had recorded the videos for the guide and I was about to write this guide, StarrlightSims found a dpad setup for the last part. Thanks to that, Clody skip is now 100% consistent. The strat used in the marathon is still here in the guide though, as it is faster.

We proudly present... Clody Skip Setup 2019

[section=Tutorial] STEP 1 As you enter the room and skip Quirrels monologue, hold UP + RIGHT on the dpad.

STEP 2 Before the green energy ball gets too close to the last knight on the right, press START. Keep pause-buffering UP + RIGHT until you see one of these two frames: http://imgur.com/a/4mQ09DZ

If you see the first frame, simply hold UP and unpause. If you see the second frame, pause-buffer two frames of UP + LEFT, then hold UP and unpause.

STEP 3 DPAD ONLY (StarrlightSims) Run all the way to the ledge and pause before Harry jumps. Pause-buffer UP until you see Harry bow down (because he's about to jump), after you see that, give it 4 more frames of UP. Now, do 1 frame of R2 + UP and finally hold UP and unpause. Harry will grab the ledge.

STEP 3 ANALOG (Faster) Run all the way to the ledge and pause right after Harry jumps. While paused, switch to the analog stick and hold it up but slightly to the left, and unpause. Harry will grab the ledge.
