How Speedrunners Skip Portal 2's CRAZIEST Chamber

[@miskabon]

Stuck launching also used to occur in certain locations of CS: GO maps, which was incredibly annoying when you accidentally get stuck at the corner of a door, and then your legs get obliterated.

[@fusrosandvich3738]

My favorite was this innocous barrel on...mirage??? i forget the map. basically if you touched it you'd die instantly to fall damage

[@Petar321_GT]

it was with the old dust 2 bombside B doors. once you get stuck in the corner, you would fall very slowly into your death lol

[@darthvader2994]

in tf2 there's a spot i know on badwater that you can kill yourself with in spawn (or ofc you can kill bind) - you'd only do it if you knew it was there as a little party trick but it's cool to be able to transfer knowledge

I had no idea funneling was a thing. That's one of those "yeah, we know you got it" quality of life mechanics that make really satisfying games. The devs of Dead Cells talk about that two. Much like Portal, the game has some cool movement, and they programed the game to have really lenient ledge grabs and other platform interactions so there's never a, "one pixel off" feeling with the platforming.

[@paul9218]

The funneling fucked me up when I tried to rush through 3rd boss cell, got stuck on a ledge because I was sure that dodges would cause me to not grab onto anything. The game is worth the money.

[@ChrisKogawa]

Dead Cells: puts a ton of effort into making the platforming smooth as butter Also Dead Cells: has the worst i-frame/animation desync for dodgerolling ever seen in a 2d platformer

[@gabrielandy9272]

the thing is the funnel is just a little help, if you jump Very wrongly it will not funnel you win, sso you must be "falling" already close to the portal imagine a invisible box around it =P

[@teslapenguin1]

Celeste also has some of that “1 pixel off” correction. It makes the game feel a lot better to play.

[@eimazd]

The stuck launch glitch is also present in some parts of TF2. Most notably, in BLU first spawn on pl_badwater, there's a pile of tires(?) and a handcart that you can crouch-jump into to trigger the glitch. This makes it possible to die from falling damage on flat ground, before the round even starts

[@SeedyZ]

[@wxjared]

damn you presented this perfectly

[@emeraldone530]

I just remembered how busted Doom eternal speedruns are due to *almost* stuck launching. They get on a ledge, similar to the stuck launch (you can see the character moving very slowly) and they bind jump to scrolling the mouse wheel, and use the weapon wheel to slow down time, resulting in a few dozen jump inputs before actually launching off the ground, meaning you can out of bounds your way through about 1/2 the game

[@Mernom]

This is not really true. The mechanic that's allowing it is a support mechanic that makes it easier to not miss jumps by running off the edge, that allows you to use air jumps an without using up your 1 air jump while close to a ledge, combined with the fact that the scroll wheel allows you to produce inputs very fast, and the game doesn't cap the speed buff you get from jumping. Stuck launching is fully a bug.

[@exportedrice9360]

Stuck launching is also a thing in Team Fortress 2, specifically in blue's first spawn in Badwater Basin between the tiny forklift and a pipe.

[@inactivepleasegoaway]

stuck launching is probably a thing in every source engine game, but its only really practical in portal 2 because of the addition of the blue gel (i forgot the name of it) and because you don't take fall damage in portal (i believe that fall damage in source is calculated by velocity, and this gives you a lot of velocity)

[@KarlssonF]

does this really only save 10 seconds? i'd have thought i'd be more. nice vid once again

[@Msushi]

To clarify, it saves 10 seconds over the second fastest speedrun strategy, which involves entering the room with the "crazy box," doing this over an intended route saves much more time.

[@sophiegrey9576]

Stuck launches seem to exist in TF2 as well: in Badwater's first BLU spawn, there's an object the player can jump against and get temp-stuck on. It's utterly useless, but you can take lethal fall damage before the game starts this way.
