Going into a scene with the camera locked softlocks the game, as far as I can tell. So superswim is a no-go.

Interesting thing to note.

Why skip FW with superswim? You could have finished FW long before the forest water expires.

Eh, what do you mean by softlock?

Re: WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

#603
A softlock is when the game prevents all input, but the game is still running and hasn't crashed.

I'm working with the timer.
EDIT:
Moved the route to any% route disscusion. I will still post updates here, but go there for the full, current, unfinished route.

We can and will use the (already known, sorry) moblin slide because the run will get Fire/Ice Arrows. Why? Because you need them to get Power Bracelet and Iron Boots which you need for Earth Temple and Wind Temple respectively. Both of these need to be beaten to dispell the barrier.

Please, please stop treating the game as if barrier skip has already been found. It hasn't, despite many people spending a lot of time on the trick. Maybe it will be found one day, but the chances of that are looking slimmer and slimmer. Even if it is ever found, it is useless talking about it now. As much as you'ld like to believe otherwise, we have no idea what items it will require. I can guarantee you that three years ago, if somebody said "I found a hover glitch," nobody would expect it to involve Tingle Tuner. The point is, when it comes to route discussion, stick with tricks that exist. Tricks that don't exist are impossible to route since we don't know what they require. Oh yeah, and here is the key thing: tricks that do not exist do not exist. Barrier skip is impossible until proven otherwise.

Thanks for the input, but I don't need you to tell me how to write the route, RingRush. I'm the one who stepped up in volunteering to write the route and I'll write it in the best, most timely manner for the game.

Nobody asked for a volunteer sorry bro ;)

So I assume you're gonna show us a barrier skip video? Yeah, I thought so.

Re: WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

Razor, I made an account just for the sake of telling you: don't be stupid.  Don't route something that isn't yet possible for the game.  That would be the equivalent of me routing MM with some sort of "finish the game without beating all four temples" trick.  It's never been done, and until it has, it's a waste of time to try and figure out how the game will be ran should it be discovered.

Razor personally I couldn't care less about your routes as long as they're impossible. If you wanna route the theoretical barrier skip route for fun then fine, but if you're going to write off the routes that are actually possible right now then you're just being stupid.

Paraxade, I'm not writing any more of the route until I test it and make sure that it is possible and timely. Everything that I have written for the route so far have tested and preformed myself. This is why I won't post the next section, or any section for that matter,  of the route for a while because I'm still testing it at the moment.

Re: WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

#616

Why are you saying we aren't getting fire/ice arrows then :/

I'm hoping we won't have to get them, if we do well then fine. Not to that part yet.

EDIT: WW page is being updated.

Guys! I finally did it! I got on the banister on the outside of the front Hyrule Castle! I'll upload a vid soon!  ;D

I've got bomb early, and I'm starting a low% file. I hope I'll find something out of this game.

Does anybody found something with the hero sword skip?

Hero sword skip? Could you clarify? I haven't heard anyone say anything about hero sword skip findings.

I found hero sword skip in FF1 some pages ago in this topic. I was just wondering if something new happened for those who played a file with this skip.

Is this the zombie hover with the deku stick or something else?

Re: WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

#622
Tetra text skip at FF1 and BiT at Pirate Ship 2. Save and quit and you'll be swordless.

It's all in Ani's vid.

Re: WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

#623
Nope, I was talking about the ff1 sword skip with deku stick hover. I posted it some pages ago.

Okay that's what I thought you were saying. I tried it once, but got quickly frustrated. Could you make a video of it?

I haven't more luck than you and I never get it. I just found the strat and managed to get the two or three first jumpslash of the hover. Plus when my archos record vid it is not synchronized so it is even more hard.


And what do you mean by getting on the banister?

Re: WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

#629
It was me that was testing the hero's sword skip. I didn't get far due to dolphin running at 12% I've got a savestate on windfall after FF without collecting the sword. I got the sail, went to dragon roost island and completed dragon roost cavern (using sticks and pots in place of sword where needed) and then afterwards I went to forest haven with superswim because it's quicker than sailing that far at 12% speed and then I realised I couldn't kill the deku tree's face chus. I needed bombs. I think it's doable but it would mean getting a stick from those plants outside and being eaten to get down to 0 hearts for hover. (I found that trick a while ago, besides fall damage, it's the only type of damage you can take while keeping the stick in your hand).

If you were to hover to greatfish isles then you could start the cutscene to trigger the early bombs. I could probably get the bombs, providing I triggered the FF1 cutscene, (I hope I did) and complete the forbidden woods. but I've only got up to the deku tree so that's it.

Also razor, it has a huge invisible wall above it, how did you manage to get onto it without clipping?

I never said I didn't use clipping; that's exactly what I used. Mnaocheese's clip to be precise. It's really difficult to describe the banister I'm talking about. I'll try to get the vid up soon, but I can't make any promises.
