clippy's tiny stratagem microblog

[ClipBoardGuy]

Gonna be putting any observations/bits and bobs here that don't really fit into any existing forum posts and aren't big enough to have their own forum post. Essentially this will be where any little miscellaneous tomes that I wouldn't have posted about otherwise will go.

I also want to use this as a log of all the little adjustments I make to my personal scriptorium (the strats I do) over time :3

The first thing I would like to post about here is this cheeky little slope boost you can do by double jumping into the ceiling right before the battery 2 grab on BT. I believe it's an upside down slope boost since the ceiling is slanted slightly upward. Not sure how well this is known.

I think I've finally figured out the best way to slow down when entering the gauntlet after your first runthrough. you just backwards dj (make sure you're out of the lurch window!!) then tap and hold back asap afterwards, doing it roughly in the area outlined in this image.

if you're going 80 ish or below you can go more towards the front end of the outlined area, then as you start going faster you need to dj earlier and earlier. it might even be necessary to do a second tap back and dj as early as possible in the marked area when going 110+ (I haven't tested those speeds yet). initially I was always doing this with that second tap, and while it should be slightly more optimal — since if you get all of your lurches out fast enough you can dj later than the single tap at those really high speeds — it was just more inconsistent whereas the single tap is pretty infallible, but it probably can't hurt too much to go for it if you happen to get up to 110+. I find it easier to get the taps out as quickly as possible by hitting both the spacebar and back at the same time. also if you're going slow enough (60s or below, maybe even 70s?) you can just dj back about as late as possible with no taps.
