The posting of something that I said I would, mainly some idea of Jungle Japes that may or may not help. Doing it Elephantless comes in 2 parts, the Boulder Skip and the Switch:
Credit of the initial idea of the boulder skip being due to pressing B from doomking10 (aka ahmcgill on here <3) telling me, however the "lock and key" method of rotating I noticed after experimenting with consistency. It ain't consistent. Sorry. From an initial discovery from doomking10 (or as he is known on here, ahmcgill) after being told that clipping into the platform heightened the chance of landing on it as EVO, I noticed that the corners (all 4 of them) can be clipped into to get this setup. Just happens that this corner has a visual marking that helps with the setup AND is also near the edge where you have to go for the piranhas. Just aim and run and you'll get it most times. 9/10. Also can do cutscene skip here too but in any% this means you get the tortoise info so... Dunno if this is quicker than elephant.
DISCLAIMER: Both of these recorded on emulator for ease, also verified to work on console too, as I use them endlessly <3
Thanks for the credit, Marx. I've been tinkering around, working on new strats. I downloaded a TAS friendly emulator with fixed video (unlike the janky video on normal emus), so finding more will be easier. I've been a bit busy lately, but hopefully this weekend I'll get some more stuff going. I've ordered my capture card too, so streaming it is on it's way.
SOmething I'd like to talk about - Whirlwind Tour. We all know the skip for that being very inconsistent, so I wonder if that would be something that can be figured out? Probably not to that level, but at least a safe strat that could be found?
Also, worthy to note, it seems most corners in this game are able to be clipped into like I did for Jungle Japes, so... Don't know if that means anything.
I tried WT skip for about an hour yesterday and made it twice. I have no idea what causes it, it's very frustrating.
I seem to have more luck with you on it, though I didn't try it for an hour XD One time I got it first time since restarting the level but it's frustrating to not get it, so I may mess around with it tomorrow whilst practising the Desert levels (I'm 100% Jungle fluent now, just got the other sections to go XD), so if I figure out some way of consistency (doubt it) or another thing that is more friendly (again doubt it) then... Woo. But... I doubt it <3
Evo's Escape alone makes me not want to run this game. I've had more problems with that level by itself than every other level combined.
Just take it slow and practice, everntually you'll get it down. I've only played it once though and got it first time, but everything seems to work if you treat it casual and then work on it.
How do I take a past broadcast from twitch and cut it down to only a part I want to show, or how do I take a past broadcast and cut it into a shorter vid to put on youtube? In other words: I got my streaming shit set up and am now the WR holder for Have a Nice Day IL and Smashing Start IL.
Log in to twitch -> video manager (on the grey bar on the left) -> past broadcasts -> highlight (on whatver broadcast you want to highlight). Then select the portion of that broadcast that you want to highlight.
Past broadcasts will be deleted in ~2 weeks. A highlighted video is forever.
No one documented it but a "more consistent maybe" way of doing WT skip was found by ahmcgill iirc. May want to make a video of that soonerino (it's pretty basic and more consistent than the currently recorded method in mcill's tutorial for any%)
Found a new glitch, sadly turns out to not be useful.
If you pause at the same frame as you touch the teleporter to end the level you can exit zone, the level won't be completed(i was testing to see if you could skip the fanfare). But if you re enter the level it will automatically send you back to the stage select screen after a little bit and unlock the next level for you.
