Fight skip questions & explanations

I assume a general thread where people can ask questions regarding certain skips is more useful than a thread per skip, but if I'm mistaken, I guess we can change that afterwards.

Anyway, I'm currently learning Low%, and I'm almost done. The only thing left to get is the 2 Man skip right before Fairview. Problem is, I haven't seen a video of it (the current run doesn't do this skip), and while Onin has written down some helpful step by step guidelines, I can't get the final part done. Setting up the OVC glitch and finishing the 5 Snapshots works fine, my question is where to start the no collision part of the glitch. The guide says to trigger the OVC on the overpass. I assume this means to cancel the OVC screen and start Turn() during a transition as usual so Red is able to go OOB afterwards. Now, do I do this while going up to the overpass (at the start) or when going down (at the end).

I tried both with holding down-left afterwards (and some extensive maneuvering), both to no success. When triggering it on the way up, the camera seems to never readjust as it is mentioned in the guide, and while I did get the "To Fairview!" area trigger from Royce, as I said, I never got any further with the camera.

When triggering it on the way down, I can hold down-left until the camera gets stuck at the Royce proxy, and by maneuvering some more off screen, I can get it to reset entirely so it follows Red, which is great. However, neither the OVC terminal that builds the bridge, nor the map change trigger, nor the Proxy (which this skip is supposed to skip anyway) can be activated (no option for activating them shows up). There is an option to activate the Transistor somewhere OOB in the lower right corner, but even when trying to do so (pressing the Interact button), nothing happens. I assume all of these triggers don't work because the 2 Man fight starts up but isn't finished.

This would basically mean that I have to trigger the OVC on the way up to the overpass, but as I mentioned, I can't get the camera to reset from there in any way, so in the end, it seems that I misunderstood the guide anyway. :S

You have to trigger the OVC on passing up to the overpass. Which also means you have to undo the movement to ensure you're reset to down at the door. From there, down-left should work fine. If it doesn't, then I'm not sure, try less down more left or something like that. There should be some sort of movement that works. If I remember correctly, you have to get into the area of the Men fight for the camera reset (doesn't trigger it ofc).

Perfect! Undoing the movement was what I was missing, so thanks for mentioning that. The rest worked like a charm as well.
