City Escape Clipping Problem
7 years ago

Ok so in City Escape to clip out of bounds. I've done it a few times and been succesful. The hardest part was making it on there, obviously. But now, I can make it on the ramp much easier, but I do not hit the second booster when I land, sometimes I clip through the floor, and sometimes sonic is just floating slightly above ground. Am I canceling spin-dash to early, maybe to late? any help would be appreciated (:

The parameters of CE skip are ridiculously precise, and you're not trying to clip. What happens when you do the ramp jump with a lot of speed is that you clip out of bounds for three frames as you hit the floor, and in that time you want to hit the speed pads whilst you're still airborne.

CE skip works by getting launched to the right by the speed pads whilst you're airborne and out of bounds, since you then won't get stopped by the ground, and the walls won't stop you further down. Actually achieving this is very difficult. Your speed value needs to be higher than what the speed pads before the first ramp provide you, which is why we spindash down the hill and dodge around the speed pads, and I'm pretty sure your speed value can be too HIGH for it to work as well, so most people slow down slightly as they approach it.

Even when speed is correct, there is a specific range that your X, Y and Z co-ordinates all need to be inside in order to actually hit the skip, so it's not just a matter of jumping off the ramp. You need to do it in the right spot, at the right time. For people learning the game, this skip is absolutely not worth looking into. You're frankly wasting your time by focusing on a skip which isn't even consistent at WR level of play, and your time is much better spent on other parts of the game.

long story short, CE skip isn't possible do do consistently, it's not always your fault if you miss it.

If you get it 100% of the time you get it 43% of the time.
