The Superboost - Double Button Door SKIP
6 years ago

Finally I managed to show that this skip is possible \o/

In the video you can see my Trials and Tribulations to get the Double Button Door SKIP using the SUPERBOOST. I hope the video does justice to the risks involved and how difficult the skip is. Each successful superboost had countless fails and resets, but it was all worth it.

See for yourself at the end of the video \o/

What is this superboost and how do you do it? Also is there a trick to swimming faster?

afaik, swimming has only 1 speed even on the water surface compared with underwater, they're the same speed

but there are sudden bursts / boosts you can do, by changing direction or after stopping ... I've done tests with all sorts of techniques, by stopping or changing direction briefly, but it's not a faster overall movement in a straight line

the only thing helpful is the superboost (as you can see in the video above) ... and so far we only managed to get the superboost downwards (so it's useful in only a handful of situations in the game) ... the way it works is building 2 or more smaller boosts into one, which is kinda tricky and hard to get ... but even if you don't get the superboost, it's okay to go for a small boost down anyway, because just holding down when you enter the water is kinda slow (when you have to do directly down)

here's the full comparison between strats :

  • Normal Strat (51.18)
  • 1 cycle button (29.09)
  • Normal strat using 1 superboost (50.32)
  • Normal strat using 2 superboosts (49.72).
