 [PATCHED] AF2 "Lag Clip" Tutorial

# NOTE: As of now, lag clipping has effectively been patched.



This is for those who want to learn how to do this clip, but don't want to ask in the community server.
(Assumed to work in any condition, whether you have buttery 60 FPS, or choppy 20 FPS)

Steps:

1. Go up to a wall and create a distance between your character and the wall (/e point and /e cheer are commonly used to push yourself far enough).
2. Walk forward for a frame and click and hold the minimize button and drag the mouse away from the button, but still hold it (you MUST be in windowed mode on Roblox).
3. Wait a second or two before letting go of the minimize button.

TA-DA! You SHOULD have clipped through the wall. If you didn't, you probably clicked minimize too late.

Note:

- This glitch works well with walls that are 1 stud thick or less.
- In speedruns, you'll sometimes see runners "wiggle" and then lag clip. Wiggling when you are on a wall creates just enough space in AF2 to lag clip.

(MOST OPTIMAL) W1 5 Star Speed run Route

First, walk forward and pause your timer when you hit the W1 door. Then, move over to the cannon button and grab the red coin at the bounce pad (1/8). Then, move over to the fence, wall hop, and grab the red coin (2/8), go in the cannon to enter rainbow run. The cloud hit boxes are boxes, so jump off of them to save some time. Hit the button for the cannon, and reset. Then, get the red coin near the leaves, and reset. Then go in the cannon and get the rainbow run star (1/5).

Next, during the star cutsene, hold S and D to start moving in said direction. Jump on the fence, and get on the hammer's brown block in the front. You should get flung up in the air. Go twords the bounce pad, then get the red coin on the hammer (4/8), Then, get on the hammer and get the star (2/5). Reset your character. Hold forward and get the red coin in the water near the fish (5/8). Get on the floating bored, and jump up (dont get killed by the fish lol). Get the red coin in the water by the area with the moving parts trying to electric you (6/8). Then, get the star in that same area (3/5). Go up the stairs at the start of the world, and get the red coin on the spinning death brick thing (7/8). Then, do a corner clip where the red coin is at the window, (right in front of where you got the last red coin), and get the red coin. You should get a star (4/5).

After that, hit the bounce pad and do a zen clip right here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nyAONVTDKkQdRfzq1VQEGyoueXZjhtih/view?usp=sharing. Then, hit the bounce pad and get the star (5/5). Do the challenge and get the symbol.

Free Hats used for Super TV Skip

Credit to Chenzy and Zenkoina for doing the research on hat weight and compiling this list of free hats for us

These hats are allowed to use within runs. Any hat that isn't on this list isn't allowed, even if it has the same weight to avoid verifiers having to check themselves.

This hats are solely used with the intention to get a greater fling in W9 from the TV explosions, called Super TV skip.

Game made by Zenkoina used to test hat weight

Glitchless ruleset

Everything that's listed in this document under "Glitch" is not allowed in any of the Glitchless category runs. Anything labelled "Exploit" is fair game, so long as it's not banned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Wall zipping - Glitch**
Using shift lock or first person camera to flip your model 180 degrees
which will move your character quickly across the surface of the part.
This also, by extension covers Corner Clipping and Zen Clipping.

Example - https://youtu.be/3t3MR2KGFX4

**Lag clipping - Glitch**
Positioning yourself far enough from a wall then moving and holding minimise
at the same time to create lag, which if timed right will make you phase through
thin walls.

Example - https://youtu.be/xxIMsUbOkEI

**/e dance 2 clipping - Glitch**
If you /e dance 2 next to a super thin wall then shift lock at a 90 degrees angle,
you'll be offset from your centerpoint and end up on the other side of the wall.

Example - https://youtu.be/hF8qH-wTZbQ

**Wall Hugging - Glitch**
Tapping the < and > keys whilst travelling along a block will cause your character
to jump off a block that you normally can't jump off... granted that you hold space.
Can be used to traverse gaps that normally aren't traversable.

Example - https://youtu.be/3GuWetm0d-4

**Text Box Storage - Glitch**
If you walk up to an NPC with the "Press E to talk" message, and start walking 
away pressing E just as you reach the edge of his chat hitbox will cause the
"Press E to talk" stay on your screen permanently till you die or click return
to start of world. As such, you can use this on the points in the worlds to
teleport to the challenge course from anywhere in the world. Mainly used before
grabbing a star with no deliberate deaths, as when you respawn you can immediately teleport to the challenge course without having to walk back to the NPC again.

**Text Box Momentum Storage - Glitch**
This uses the same trick as Text Box Storage but has a key difference - When being
teleported, any momentum you had is conserved. Meaning, it's possible in some worlds to take the "Press E to talk" to a part of the map like a sawblade rail or
bounce pad or hammer, and time it so that as you are mid launch you teleport to
the challenge course, skipping potentially huge parts of the level. As of right
now, this trick completely skips W3 and W7's challenge courses entirely, and
almost skips all of W1's W2's and W4's challenge courses.

Example for both tricks above - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKOEHnZTofg

**Jumping on slip surfaces / kill surfaces - Glitch**
This used to be common back in the day, but has since been "patched" due to 
Roblox updates. However some are still semi doable, yet very difficult.

No example for this.

**Click to move to break bossfight camera - Exploit**
In some phases of some boss fights, click to move breaks the camera allowing you
to shoot the boss during phases that you usually can't hit them in.

**Ulipse Softlock - Exploit**
In both phases of her fight, Ulipse throws her moon at you after several charge
attacks. Jump at the right time, and the moon wont collide with the ground
softlocking her for that phase, yet still allowing you to hit her. Saves no time
in phase 1, but in phase 2 it can save a considerable amount of time.

**Celesteal jumps - Exploit**
Completely useless trick, but if you fall off the map during some phases of
Celesteal's fight and hold space you'll respawn high up, jump off an invisible
plane and can cross some small gaps with it. Namely Arrolin and Ixol's symbol.
This saves having to avoid all the attacks at the cost of 1 damage, but doesn't
save time as Celesteal is an auto-scroller.

Example for the 3 tricks above - https://youtu.be/KBpQ7WUkb9g

**Resetting at a star - Exploit**
If you die whilst grabbing a star instead of reappearing at spawn you'll die and
respawn at your last checkpoint. Saves tons of time, and allows us to grab other
stars or coins nearby without walking from spawn every time.

**Getting flung by hammers or axes - Exploit**
Hammers and axes when stood on can launch you giving you immense height. This 
requires that you stand on the part of the hammer or axe that doesn't kill you.

**Hopping across sawblade rails - Exploit**
Many think that this is wall hugging, or a variant of it. It's not, wall hugging requires
that you slightly clip your body into a wall to jump off a part who's top is not
exposed, this is merely using the climb function of roblox repeatedly by holding
space and holding left or right to cross gaps.

Example for the 3 tricks above - https://youtu.be/IzcGN3knKl0

**Grabbing checkpoints/collectables/loads through walls - Exploit**
There are instances in game where checkpoints are close enough to the wall that
moving your arm into it and wiggling a bit will trigger it, allowing you to reset
spawning on the other side. Notably used in W4 and W7, but can also be used to
enter W8 early without lag clipping via /e dance2. You could also enter W4 using
/e point early, but this requires a lag clip to perform. Many coins can also be collected this way, such as the one in W4.

Example - https://youtu.be/o6sj00O2l_A

**Spade Skip in W6 - Exploit**
This is an extension of the above glitch, however is unique because the spade model
when given a slip script has a weird enough hitbox that we can abuse it and jump
past it skipping a chunk of the level without slipping. This is much easier and 
consistent to do than other forms of slip trigger.

Example - https://youtu.be/6hfAwWwpCJc

**Cannons launching you off objects - Exploit**
Cannons give you immense vertical velocity, and if there just so happens to be an
object in the way and you hit it at the right angle and time, Roblox physics will give
up and send you flying. This is mostly random, but may be advantageous if we find a way to control it.

Example - https://youtu.be/5Bd_krY7cBo

**W9's TV explosions launching you - Exploit**
The TV's in W9 make explosions upon impact with objects, and if positioned correctly can offer you enough height to scale some parts of the map.

**W9’s TV explosions launching you with aid of hats - Exploit**
If you are wearing hats or accessories when getting launched by a TV, you can gain much more distance and height than if you wore none. The larger the hatweight of your avatar, the easier it is to perform some tricks. Any free hats are allowed to be used that can be found on this guide - https://www.speedrun.com/af2/guide/kgnjl but any paid or event hats are banned.

Example for both tricks above - https://youtu.be/EF-Mg5CpYJo

**Using a sawblade late to get launched - Exploit**
If you wait for the timer to run down to a specific number, then grab a rail, you
can have the timer expire mid saw rail causing the momentum you had to be conserved launching you in the direction you were headed. Not super useful for anything other
than W4's TBMS.

Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCnnjAlfCMQ

**High jumps - Glitch**
When jumping against a wall and flicking, you can get a slight height increase which allows you to make jumps that were previously impossible. One example being the wall right in front of spawn in W7, which can be climbed only with a wallhug or high jump.

**Water High jumps - Exploit**
Sometimes you can jump higher in water, either by rotating your body as you hit the water, or having shiftlock enabled on the surface of the water. This is mostly used in W1 at the water to reach a higher step, and in W4 to grab one coin in certain categories.
