NEW SKIP IDEA - Magnet trigger & Block clip in the same cycle - by Parhelion

Magnet switch and Block clip in the same cycle This might be a TAS level (frame perfect) skip idea :) I tried it a lot and it's ALMOST possible.

Here's the idea:

  • First, get a very good butt-boost right, from the low pat of the slope, so you fly by the gravity swtich very fast and horizontal;
  • Trigger the gravity swtich very late, so you fall as farther to the right as possible;
  • On the ceiling, keep going right as fast as possible, and time the last jump in such a way that the gravity switch catches you mid-air (which means a shorter fall down, and that should give you a softer landing bellow);
  • Trigger the magnet on your way down, as you fall next to it on the right side, and get the softer landing (this is when you trigger the gun, so the movement has to be tight from this point forward);
  • Keep going right and get the block climb UP before the gun starts firing (this is the most difficult part of the whole skip);
  • Climb DOWN immediately, just as the gun stops, to get the block clip as the gravity switches.

if this skip works, it saves 10 seconds :) which, by Limbo standards, is HUGE :D

Are you still researching the possibility of this? Did you ever manage to confirm it possible, or have you discovered a better option?

I'm still trying it whenever I practice this section ... doesn't seem to work with the knowledge we have atm ... but if we find a way to cancel hard landings, this skip might work ...
