Swinging in the Breeze

Postby Highnote » 05 Apr 2014, 17:38

Hi, anyone got any information/methods on how to consistently get the sidejump off the swinging platforms lever thing to the platform above, you know the one i mean.

I don't know if it's time of the long jump at the start or the way you hit the pole that's swinging the bridge that makes it work, but I cant seem to figure out a consistent way to get it. So how do it work, is it the angle of the lever when you hit it or the speed of your long jump or what?

all you have to do is sideflip when you get to the part that is flat. you also want to sideflip directly down and then start holding up immediately after sideflipping, because you want to ledgegrab as much towards the front of the yellow block as possible.

has nothing to do with the speed of your movement at the beginning, its extremely lenient

If you're long jumping too late to the swing then your sideflip will be fucked up as well. So don't like run to the edge before your long jump as you might intuitively want to do. Long jump a bit before that.
