If you want any help learning the route just let me know and I can post some stuff. I don't have it mapped out super well but I do have a list of levels and I can give some pointers on a few tough clips out of bounds.
i would love this info so i can learn the route myself and learning the clips would be nice. i hope your info can be helpful for me attempting my first run.
I've got a route mapped out slightly better than ChainSwordCS's that I'm currently working on, I'll post it soon if they don't post theirs. I'd have to adapt it somewhat before posting though since it's a little encoded, so it'll be a bit.
I tried playing it casually a few times yesterday (I'd never played the game before) and I won't lie, I had a bad time with the jocks. I'm very excited to get back and start out of bounds-ing, as that sounds less horrible
How do the Joshakazam segments work? I make it to the end and half the time it doesnt count :/
Joshakazam segments in any% seem more consistent when the person you're doing it to (judge/sabateur/guy with the outfit) is looking at you (the other way around doesn't seem to help). It works about 80-90% for me, but they still seem to reject it for no reason on occasion.
Bonus Joshakazam trick: in game (not from the minigame menu), you can move the stylus from the start to just in the orange area, lift the stylus, and tap in the end. As long as you hit the end area, it succeeds 100% of the time (as in he pulls the rabbit, the judge may still be dumb and not accept it.)
@Jordiotto: jocks suck when you're starting out, but get better with practice. Since we're usually using Drake during the run for his, well, running, spraying some fire extinguisher (once you get it in I think 2-1 or 2-2) right before they get you works magic. Sometimes they'll slip before they grab you, sometimes they grab you but then slip faster than you could otherwise escape.
Also, escaping is way harder and slower with a mouse on emulator than a stylus on console, so if you're emulating really don't feel bad about them seeming tough!
ye i had a pretty good run and then it all came crashing down at joshakazam, i didnt fail once yet i got rejected EVERY TIME. also in another run i made it to 7-2, beat the boss fight, and then my game softlocked :)
oof i just figured out that by completing all joshakazam minigame levels your abilities are improved :)))))))
BTW, there's a discord with some resources and discussion: https://discord.gg/yE8Ssv5. I just found out about the EZScape competition, so I'll be making sure to get as much stuff as I can on there so people can give it their best shot.
