You know the best part about all this wacky movement? A few moves actually have extra lil' animations/ effects, showing that they exist on purpose. Intentional content creation! HUZZAH!!!

[@CausticMedeim]

The game's animations are all genuinely handled by the AI - it's one of this game's hallmark details. Also one of the reasons the animations can be so unsettling at times. But yeah, that'd be why they have special little animations - because the AI has to figure out a way to move the character like that.

[@insignificantduck313]

@cannibalman8175 green lizards are harder because they're tankier than most lizards and are able to sometimes spin around while you stunlock them, so I'd recommend being careful around them. They're quite slow, so waiting a second to jump over them before taking the spear back out of them if they flip around is good. After ~3 spear hits they become quite weak

[@dustinjones7458]

13:03 this must be why it seems sometimes Slugcat can survive multi screen falls and other times randomly dies in places like the depths before ascension.

I never knew about this fall until yesterday, never died to fall damage but stupidly fell down the middle of the pit in the depths and splatted to make my first fall damage death minutes before beating the playthrough

[@FortressWolf97]

Even without this online tutorial, I love the implication that because there’s no in-game tutorial on these techs, you’re expected to discover these things on your own either by experimenting or by accident.

one question, is a "frame" a displayed frame or a physics frame? i havent looked into physics frames a lot but as far as i know the game runs at 40 physics frames/s (correct me if im wrong) i would also assume it means physics frames, because downpour added a vsync option (i think it didnt exist before, again, correct me if im wrong) and you dont want the physics to change with the fps right?

[@fist_lorderino]

It's a timing, that's all. My only adivce is to consider this : Try to press these keys at the same time but with a twist : make sure one finger slightly higher than the other before pressing at the same time. Once you found the perfect finger positions, it's all about practice and muscle memory, like anything. This is what I do for Eihops and it just works.

[@FortressWolf97]

@@Stiathirs sure, bet when you're facing them in Shoreline and in the one area of the Shaded Citadel, the better option is to fast swim near the base of the kelp so that they can't grab you. Sometimes you're not always lucky finding multiple spears in one area to deal with multiple monster kelps, so it's more efficient to just dodge them.

Tip for practising sideflip (on keyboard): -Wait untilt he slugcat picks up speed (don't wait too long or too short) -"Flick" from Down and Direction Key to the Backwards Key with as little time as possible. Don't release the keys and then press, slide off the keys, when they're down, right before pressing backwards with the thrid finger. You will hear a sound difference. -Tap jump in a rythmic fashion with the back key. You're doing two movements and the Jump Key presses with the start of each movement. Imagine you're doing a backflip the second you slide
