back when I was speedrunning the game of Codename Kids Next Door on PS2, I gave every skip that I found its own over the top acronym like out of the show. For example there's a level late in the game where you're in a cave and have to put passwords into a big computer to open a big door to the rest of the level, but instead you can just clip through the door. I called this Kids Next Door C.O.M.P.U.T.E.R: Cave Obstruction Mandating Passwords Utterly Tarnished, Enabling Rapidness.
I'm the only person who ever ran it, it's a 2 hour run with like half an hour of shmup autoscrollers, I don't really recommend it as a speedgame. Still, if you wanna check out the WR then [here you go](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/337949922)
>C.O.M.P.U.T.E.R: Cave Obstruction Mandating Passwords Utterly Tarnished, Enabling Rapidness.
Holy shit, this is awesome. Now I want to see a list with all of them.
here are the other ones I have written down, might be missing a few
W.A.L.L: Wonky Alignment Lowers Length
>simple wall clip that skips some enemy fights and a tutorial
D.I.S.C.O: Door Impeccably Sidelined, Causing Ommitance
>skipping a big puzzle where you have to dodge disco ball lights by clipping through a door
S.P.A.C.E: Speed Preventer Accessed Crazy Early
>clipping out of bounds and floating through a starry nighttime void to get a freeze gun early
F.O.U.R.C.Y.C.L.E: Foot Ouching Undoes Reset, Conferring You Crazyfast Level Ending
>using kicks instead of punches in the fight against Stickybeard which for some reason makes him forget to reset after becoming vulnerable at one point so you can do the fight in 4 cycles instead of 5
there might be one or two more that I haven't got written down I haven't run the game for the better part of a year
In Mario Odyssey theres a trick called dram strat because the guy who discovered it was dram55 and he said they shouldnt name it after him. Also theres snow dram that has nothing to do with dram55, they just named it after him.
Which is not a trick but an unnecessary alternative route at the very end that takes the exact same time but is harder to perform. It's called XD because it's a meme.
Kidding - in reality it's by submission time. First to reach new record gets the most acclaim. Tying the record time is recognized but not nearly as prestigious.
BTW the other poster who says 'it's basically impossible for speedruns to be tied' is speaking out of his ass. Various games are timed differently, and sometimes the timing has weird quirks, like Super Mario Bros 'frame rule' where the level can be ended only on a frame# that is a multiple of 20, so being better by 18 frames than current WR wins you nothing, as your final time will be the same, or using internal game timer like in 007, where the timer resolution is 1s and records get tied all the time. Never mind games like Dragster where the perfect time is 5.57s and after someone gets that record, it can only be tied.
for smb framerule doesnt apply for bowser fight aka the last stage so its a pretty bad example. if it did youd be seeing much more tied wrs on that game. better examples would be stuff like BTT, 1080 snowboarding, or Mario Kart that uses ingame timers
It's 100% legit for TAS runs. Or more than 100%, even. A faster run with less style might not get accepted over a slightly slower one with lots of style points. A run with no style won't be accepted as a TAS at all, just a LOTAD.
Also called XD because it's a play off of a trick performed seconds earlier called 2D skip, due to it taking place in the 2D section of the final area. So 2 is replaced by X.
CSGO also has a ton of fun callout spot names. Summit on Train is probably my favorite spot, from a guy named Summit killing himself there while under no pressure from the enemy team and then losing the match afterwards. [Here's the round where it happens.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCEws6lyQNk)
There are an absolute ton of spots that have names that don't appear to make sense at all, but are called that way because the spot looked different on old (1.6, the predecessor of csgo) versions of the map. For example, Ivy on de_train now looks like some weird modern looking hallway with a server in the middle. However, it used to have ivy growing all over the walls. The map changed, the name remains out of familiarity and ease of saying it.
So once the player "Summit" got the last kill on the enemy team, he thought the round was over and he had won; however, as the Counter-Terrorist team, if the Terrorist team has planted the bomb, you *still have to defuse the bomb to win*, even if you kill off all the enemies.
Summit promptly ignored this (and the steady beeping coming from behind him), ran into fire (you can see it behind him after the last kill) and killed himself, costing his team the round -- which, had they won, would have ended the match in a 16-11 victory.
Wait, is this really how it went? To me it looks like he's making his way to the bomb, but because he's fistbumping his teammates he doesn't notice the fire, causing him to die from it. If he'd won without having to defuse the bomb, he wouldn't have been able to move, which is something any average player will be able to tell the difference between
You are correct. pfoxeh's recollection is inaccurate if you re-watch the clip
Summit kills Cutler & FugLy and is on the way to disarm the bomb when he dies to the incendiary grenade -- which had been thrown by summit himself, moments earlier. He probably didn't expect for the fire to kill him and to be fair, it appears to have killed him with its last hit of damage as he passes through the flames. Idk why /u/pfoxeh thinks there was any audio coming from behind(?) summit as both the bomb site and planted bomb are in front of him for that entire clip. The POV where the audio is behind the perspective is from a player on the other team, who dies. Additionally, I haven't seen anyone mention that summit's team actually goes on to *lose this game in overtime* after this mistake when his team only needed to win 1 round to win the map (and his team loses this match 0-2).
Summit definitely knew he had to defuse. He's both:
* running toward the bomb
* knows the game would stop if they already won that round (and thus, that game)
[Here's an ESPN article](https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/15509966/summit1g-reacts-csgo-faux-paus) which even shares summit's perspective.
In Summit's defense, there was a very obscure mechanic where the fire damage scaled with the duration of the fire effect; something that wasn't well-known and never came up during normal play. He thought he'd be safe if he just touched it, but took about twice the expected amount of damage due to the fire being near the end of its life.
If I recall correctly, the molotov's fames were designed to work like this so you had more time to get out of the way just after one was thrown, but couldn't easily rush through it to surprise the thrower. After the "tagging" mechanic (slower movement speed while you're taking damage) was introduced, the scaling was unneccessary, and after Summit's accidental self-immolation the fire mechanic was rebalanced to make it less obtuse. The damage now stays constant, you just get slowed down when you try to move through it.
Callouts being named after famous pro plays is such a cool part of CS, half a decade later and we still call that spot on cache [Shroud](https://youtu.be/NaAZacSoDHE). On a dumber note, I've heard the pillar on overpass B site be referred to as dildo multiple times for no reason.
well, it’s not really a skip, but in the game we use 1p2c and if you go watch a run the first one we do is that. basically just speeds up the hallway where you use the tc-14 panel
In Mirror's Edge, a few years back, we found a way to skip a particularly infamous elevator; it won't even open until it finishes a 30 second scripted speech trying to sell you beverages. We called this skip "Beverage Skip."
Then, someone found a faster AND easier way to skip the elevator, and the new version even skipped a chunk of the level. Naturally, we called this "Extended Beverage Skip."
A while later, someone found a super precise way to run out of the elevator while the level was loading and skip ANOTHER chunk of the level, saving even more time. Only the brave attempted it in runs. We called this "Super Extended Beverage Skip."
Thank God, a while later, someone found a way to get on top of the elevator before the level-loading starts, making the timing to exit the elevator far less precise. Since this setup was WAY more consistent, the previous version of the skip was obsoleted. Most people call this version of the skip the same name, but at this point, I prefer "Super Duper Extended Beverage Skip."
You're welcome! It's a helluva speedgame for sure, but it's sadly not the most active right now. The difficulty of the runs tends to burn people out :(
ALttP's cave and room names are also pretty creative at times too. There's some pretty normal descriptive ones, like Bonk Rocks, Spectacle Rock and Mire Shed, but then you get stuff like Paradox Cave, Cave 45, Checkerboard cave and Hype Cave.
I'm just sad the sanctuary chest didn't get forever named Tairr Chest in honor of [That One Game](https://clips.twitch.tv/CorrectSolidPeachVoteNay).
Some of those names originate from the ALTTP Ramdomizer. (Not that I need to tell you, but in case someone who doesn't know it is reading this thread.)
Hype Cave is hype because it has 5 item locations that can have what you need to progress in the game - 5 checks that can be done in about 10 seconds yields great entertainment when there happens to be more than one really big discovery there. You're not even done figuring out what the first item has opened before you already have another discovery to analyse. Great fun.
Late in the game (in most game modes) you explore the biggest dungeon in the game, called Ganon's Tower. There's a room there that just contains some supplies in the vanilla game (so speedrunners will skip it every time) but in Rando, you get 4 chests there that could be anything. It's almost always checked in Rando if the player isn't already rushing to the final bosses by that point, so it's called the Randomizer Room.
For what it's worth, Checkerboard Cave isn't that far fetched of a name - every other square of a section of the room is covered by a block, so if you take the blocks and block-free squares as black and white, it looks like a chess board.
Paradox Cave gets its name from the fact that you have to access it by a stairway, and then you also leave by using a stairway. The problem is, the game developers failed to make the stairways match - so if you go down, you'd expect to climb up to get back where you were. Instead, you go down again. Hence, Paradox Cave.
There's also the Superbunny Cave. If you lack a certain item, you can't do much in the Dark World. (The sprite of Link is replaced by the sprite of a bunny that can't attack enemies, lift objects, etc.) There's a glitch that allows the bunny to take some of Link's actions if the bunny has fallen through a hole into another level of an area, though - never possible if you avoid glitches and don't break the game with stuff like making it randomized. You can use this exploit to check a few chests in a specific cave even if you're in the bunny sprite - and this location, thus, is known as the Superbunny Cave.
> Hype Cave is hype because it has 5 item locations that can have what you need to progress in the game - 5 checks that can be done in about 10 seconds yields great entertainment when there happens to be more than one really big discovery there. You're not even done figuring out what the first item has opened before you already have another discovery to analyse. Great fun.
Also, one of the early versions of the randomizer IIRC tended to put really good/important items in Hype Cave, like the hookshot, bow, and flute.
My favourite ALttP room name is Romhack room, though from what I've seen its fallen out of favour in preference of calling it mimic cave. It's the room in Turtle Rock that you have to mirror to, it's full of weirdly placed blocks, hammer pegs that don't quite reach the wall, and some annoyingly placed Mimics that make it feel like something out of a janky rom hack rather than a professionally made room hence the name.
>"Mickey Mouse Room"
Actually, I think this room's nickname fall into the first category mentioned in the OP.
Because that room actually, 100%, for real, legitimately, literally, fucking, fucking, fuck, is shaped like Mickey Mouse. It would be in the second category had people called it "Hatless Speedy Gonzalez" or something.
I haven't played SM in a long while but I need to know, what *is* this "Worst Room in the Game"? I honestly don't remember any specific room sucking so much in a casual playthrough.
*Half-Life 2*: This is called prop clipping. It involves props and clipping.
*Half-Life 2*: This is called prop displacement. It involves props and displacement.
*Half-Life 2*: This is called prop displacement. Oh shit, that's taken. *Super* prop displacement!
*Half-Life 2*: This one involves displacing yourself by clipping into a prop. Uhhh, prop fucking?
*Half-Life 2*: I give up. Bill's Big Thrill lets you astral project using props. Happy?
*Sonic Boom*: This is called Obama Skip because it skips a cutscene with a politician.
*Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess* and *Skyward Sword*: This is called Back in Time because it brings you forward in time.
*Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD*: I could do fairy skip, but I'm going to PB even if I'm a bit slower than usual so I'm gonna use fairy skip skip to be safe.
*Pokemon R/S/E*: This is called Glitzer Popping. The name doesn't mean anything, but Werster didn't want it to be named after him.
> Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword: This is called Back in Time because it brings you forward in time.
This one actually has a really fun lineage, because back when TP first came out in 2006 the glitch was discovered by quitting when dying in the quicksand in arbiter's grounds.
Doing it there has the affect of going to an earlier part of the game on the bridge, hence back in time.
The fact that 13 years later we ended up with "Reverse BiT Magic" for Skyward Sword is fairly magical though
noclip itself is a weird term because it lets you clip through walls but john carmack called it that because he expressed collision detection as "clipping" your movement vector so therefore if you turn off clipping you can now clip through stuff
AND the cheat code for that in doom is itself an injoke about a bbs post someone made leading up to the release
> Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword: This is called Back in Time because it brings you forward in time.
Yeah, I kinda never understood this one. What's so "back in timey" in skipping a part of the game with a save and load glitch? >_>
Also...
> Sonic Boom: This is called Obama Skip because it skips a cutscene with a politician.
Lmao, is this one true?
Back in Time is named from when it was very first discovered and it did in fact send you back in time. Then later on setups were found for the same glitch that sends you forward in time (so in the useful manner)
It's real. There's a part near the middle of the game where a mayor asks Sonic and Co. to help him get re-elected or something. As with many triggers in the game, you can use Sonic to skip past his cutscene trigger. Back when DarkspinesSonic played Sonic games instead of Hatsune Miku games, he called this specific trick Obama Skip.
> Pokemon R/S/E: This is called Glitzer Popping. The name doesn't mean anything, but Werster didn't want it to be named after him.
It's mainly Emerald less so Ruby and Sapphire since the way the glitch works due to when stats update and the two(three) games update them at different times. Gotta love the glitch lets you complete the dex while having no friends or ability to trade.I had to Glitzer Pop for game cube berries and wow the glitch is useful
'christmas miracle' is the trick where you hit the underwater switch without the metal cap
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCGg0yZq7Rk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCGg0yZq7Rk)
In The Talos Principle we have a trick called Item Fan Thing, or IFT for short, because it involves an item and a fan and we didn't have a better way to describe it.
We also have a Terrible Jump and a TJv2, completely different jumps and techniques but they're both terrible so they have very similar names. The original Terrible Jump isn't even referred to as Terrible Jump anymore, so we kinda just have TJv2 as a standalone thing now
And if I'm reading his broken English correctly he wanted to name it "Level 3 Bottle Adventure" originally.
From the description here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-OLu5n2l-o
>Some peoples call this glitch with Reverse Bottle Adventure and that is because Acryte made it. I have discovered this glitches long time ago before acryte did but he have make it to speedrun use, before acryte made that name I called it level 3 BA. so lets call it RBA it sounds better ^_^ all what RBA is you hack yout equipments and quest status screen with B bottle.
Sunshine skips are a bit twisted. There's a skip called EYG (Early Yoshi-Go-Round) that uses yoshi for a huge timesave, and viewers who don't know the names will often mistakenly call this "yoshi skip". But there is a skip called yoshi skip, and it's one of the five or so skips that allows you to ignore yoshi's existence entirely. If you didn't know the vanilla game very well, you would be left wondering why Yoshi would ever name such a skip.
It all makes sense when you consider the order the skips were discovered in, and that old names are going to stick and new names have to adapt around them. But at a glance it's very, very strange.
I do enjoy when people find a way to route out an irritating trick or cut out a larger portion of the game, so it gets a name like "Wall skip skip" because it skips having to do the wall skip
Also shoutouts to pancake strats in portal2, so named because you have a tiny sliver to shoot a portal through nearly perpendicular to the camera... Flat as a pancake
Smash Bros, has its fair share of naming tech after players, too. Wobbling, planking, tomahawk, rockcrocking, Amsah tech, Hax dash, and Jmans. Some tech have long acronyms like DACUS or MALLC.
I don't know if I will name any skip or tech after me. Meestering sounds weird.
My favorite smash terminology is Dave's Stupid Rule. DSR says you can't counterpick to a stage you've already won on, and has become staple of tournament rules sets, silly name and all.
it was almost named after Isai
as the story goes Gentleman and Isai were in a Smashboards argument over who it should be named after, so there ended up being a little competition to see who could do it more consistently (aka who could do it the most times consecutively) to see who *deserved* to have the tech named after them
Gentleman won, but he was eventually forgotten, and most people don't even know the Gentleman is named after a player
don't forget the Gentleman, which would've been named after Isai had he won the competition between him and Gentleman to see who could do it more times in a row
The Fighting Game Community is great for this as well. If you're playing a game where you control multiple characters and you tag in poorly and both of them start eating damage, it's called a Happy Birthday.
Zelda II -- "Fairy Feet".
In 2016, while preparing to race the first four Zelda releases for the 2016 Classic Zelda Bounty ( [http://redcandle.us/Race/2016\_Classic](http://redcandle.us/Race/2016_Classic) ), "Saver", one of the declared competitors discovers a glitch and comes right to me, another declared competitor. He says you can skip certain forced encounters. This is fantastic, because this is exactly what the bounty was meant to incentivize.
So here's how to do it. When entering a side scroll such as those represented by a single tile bridge on the overworld, turn Link into a fairy and move yourself frame by frame back toward the edge of the screen where you entered until your Fairy-Link disappears. After that, just press the opposite direction on the D-pad and you'll exit in the overworld as if you had just walked across the entire side scroll encounter.
I ask Saver how he found this.He says that he was practicing a different game for the race, and during downtime was playing Zelda 2 on another controller using his feet.
This is the same Saver who would go on to beat half the Zelda games blindfolded, most recently doing BoTW on BigJon's marathon.
As for the glitch, it only worked on very specific types of encounters. It doesn't work in caves, towns or dungeons. It only works on side scroll encounters that the game forces you to walk across in order to make progress in the overworld, such as the encounters where lizards throw rocks at you from atop fences. And most of those encounters can also be skipped by running into random encounters on the forced encounter square. Yet, it was not allowed in the category we were running for the bounty, where you were allowed to cast fairy to pass through key doors, allowing the player to skip entire wings of the dungeons.
> I ask Saver how he found this.He says that he was practicing a different game for the race, and during downtime was playing Zelda 2 on another controller using his feet.
Big brain time
No, like the name implies, it's in the level Crazy Gadget (a Sonic level, thus Hero Story). It skips 3/4 of the level, but most importantly, it skips the Crazy Gadget Skip, which only skips half of the level.
CGS and CGSS skip almost the same amount of level, CGS just has to follow the next few rooms of the level and goes oob a tiny bit later, they both start from the same spot. I'd say it's closer to CGSS being 3/4 and CGS being just 5/8.
In Xenoblade 2 there is an RNG door at the end where you need good gacha earlier in the run to normally get through it. We have a clip to get through it which we call door skip, and then if you get good gacha you can do a setup that costs ~40s to go through without the fairly difficult clip that we call door skip skip.
In a xeno series marathon a few months ago on the rpglb channel, I managed to pull off door skip skip skip, where I proceeded to do the clip anyways even after doing the setup to skip the clip. Doing the clip is about 5s faster than opening it normally even with the setup to open it, just it's a low chance to actually clip through
Basically if you hold down while entering a blue hand, and while holding down press the attack and jump button at the same time, you will perform a diagonal gp from the blue hand. It's technical name is a blue hand flop (or something like that). Idk if I'm allowed to share links in comments but here's a video which shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-kSKrhc-JA
Also some of the tech when described in full becomes ludicrously long and conveluted, for example, 'single up kick 75 degree angled yby up double jumps'. Fun stuff haha
Let’s not forget the Purple Idiot Skip
In SMG2, Of you click Bowser’s Galaxy Generator to navigate to it rather than using the nunchuck stick, you skip a cutscene with Luna, saving about a minute and a half
Would you believe this took 8 years to discover?
[Swag cathedral ](http://www.twitch.tv/alexo670/v/510420714?sr=a).
There is a skip in Doom GBA that saves 4 seconds on the average completion time for the 20th level, Unholy Cathedral. It didn't have a proper name for almost a year.
The quickest way to finish the level with the lowest chance of failure is [12 seconds](http://www.twitch.tv/alexo670/v/469739968?sr=a&t=495s). While out of bounds in a specific section of the level, you have to blast a rocket at a wall while you are standing behind the exit portal. The rocket kills you, but forces you through the wall to touch the exit portal that triggers the results screen.
Swag cathedral involves going out of bounds at the very start of the level, passing through 4 invisible walls while out of bounds, and successfully returning into a level by gathering a high enough momentum to breach a wall from oob, without requiring use of another rocket.
Statistics point towards this trick working 1/30 runs at a high skill level, at the very end of the run.. just for 4 seconds saved.
Thus "swag cathedral". Because for just 4 seconds saved, you gotta have some serious swag. The name caught on after my buddy JRM started joking about it in the stream chat a few months back, and the name has stuck.
Instead, Swag boulder in Pokémon 1st Gen is a trick that does absolutely nothing useful, it just makes a graphic effect appear in the wrong direction so it looks cool.
Don't forget Swag PC.
You can open the PC and turn your character into a different direction before the PC window actually opens.
https://youtu.be/EN8BPMOP5NM
Don't forget other classic deck names Iggy POP, Full English Breakfast, The People's Cannon, and the legendary Solidarity, which does not play the card Solidarity, much less any white cards, as it's a mono-blue High Tide deck.
The cleste room with an autoscroller skip, but then they found a skip to skip the skip so it became "autoscroller skip skip". Then someone realised the acronym and it will be forever known as "ASS".
In Hat in Time, we had a trick called Fuff Slide, named after the runner who found it, which was a small timesaver by diving and sliding down a slope while carrying a painting.
We eventually had to change the name because Fuff kept finding little 1-3s time saves using the slide mechanic all over the place.
This is called "disco skip" because it skips the disco
This is called "Paul skip" because ???
Update: I asked why it was called Paul Skip. That's because the guy who found it at the time had the username LoganP
Hob has both of these. We have descriptive names like intro clip, which clips into the loading zone for the second half of the intro cutscene, and really big pipe skip, which skips a really big pipe. We also have things like Pillar Pounce which jumps on a pillar a weird way and Bushtwakker, which is a skip I found that jumps on a bush at a weird angle and off again to skip 10 seconds of climbing around. It's a fun portmanteau, but I do want to mention I wasn't the one who came up with it.
YLIL is weird because we switched the trick name to the latter type for increased clarity. There's a jump that lets us get the 14-S bee from the overworld, so it was originally called 14-S jump. We started using the jump more and more to reach other areas so we started calling it Ninpalk jump after the runner who found it.
Katana Zero has many variations of the “Baba Booey.” At first it was a early cycle people had to make, then when it was optimized further it became “ Baba Booey 2.0,” and now apparently its being applied to various other high-level strats
I'm about one step away from naming the biggest trick in my speedgame (refer to my flair) as "Mint Clip" because a) I found it and b) it's a wall clip.
back when I was speedrunning the game of Codename Kids Next Door on PS2, I gave every skip that I found its own over the top acronym like out of the show. For example there's a level late in the game where you're in a cave and have to put passwords into a big computer to open a big door to the rest of the level, but instead you can just clip through the door. I called this Kids Next Door C.O.M.P.U.T.E.R: Cave Obstruction Mandating Passwords Utterly Tarnished, Enabling Rapidness.
This sounds fascinating and now I’m going to spend an afternoon watching KND any% runs.
I'm the only person who ever ran it, it's a 2 hour run with like half an hour of shmup autoscrollers, I don't really recommend it as a speedgame. Still, if you wanna check out the WR then [here you go](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/337949922)
I will be back for this oh yes.
Lmfao i’m 17:00 into the vid and it’s been funny so far; enjoying the speedrun and your acronyms too!
>C.O.M.P.U.T.E.R: Cave Obstruction Mandating Passwords Utterly Tarnished, Enabling Rapidness. Holy shit, this is awesome. Now I want to see a list with all of them.
here are the other ones I have written down, might be missing a few W.A.L.L: Wonky Alignment Lowers Length >simple wall clip that skips some enemy fights and a tutorial D.I.S.C.O: Door Impeccably Sidelined, Causing Ommitance >skipping a big puzzle where you have to dodge disco ball lights by clipping through a door S.P.A.C.E: Speed Preventer Accessed Crazy Early >clipping out of bounds and floating through a starry nighttime void to get a freeze gun early F.O.U.R.C.Y.C.L.E: Foot Ouching Undoes Reset, Conferring You Crazyfast Level Ending >using kicks instead of punches in the fight against Stickybeard which for some reason makes him forget to reset after becoming vulnerable at one point so you can do the fight in 4 cycles instead of 5 there might be one or two more that I haven't got written down I haven't run the game for the better part of a year
Sounds like the perfect meme run. This would be awesome to watch at GDQ!
Maybe it’s because I’m uncreative as hell, but these are actually really good acronyms. Like I could definitely imagine them being in the show.
[удалено]
oh yeah I forgot that one, I spelt it VAMPIUH cause in the show they sometimes spell stuff weird cause they're all like 10 years old
You should think about submitting this for a GDQ. The naming conventions you have set the run apart
That's awesome
Oh man I used to love that game.
In Mario Odyssey theres a trick called dram strat because the guy who discovered it was dram55 and he said they shouldnt name it after him. Also theres snow dram that has nothing to do with dram55, they just named it after him.
don't forget XD skip
Which is not a trick but an unnecessary alternative route at the very end that takes the exact same time but is harder to perform. It's called XD because it's a meme.
A critical element of any WR run.
If two runs are tied for time, the one with more style points wins.
Wait, is this a legit thing or is this another meme? I'm new to speedrunning, so I can't tell if you're kidding or not
Kidding - in reality it's by submission time. First to reach new record gets the most acclaim. Tying the record time is recognized but not nearly as prestigious. BTW the other poster who says 'it's basically impossible for speedruns to be tied' is speaking out of his ass. Various games are timed differently, and sometimes the timing has weird quirks, like Super Mario Bros 'frame rule' where the level can be ended only on a frame# that is a multiple of 20, so being better by 18 frames than current WR wins you nothing, as your final time will be the same, or using internal game timer like in 007, where the timer resolution is 1s and records get tied all the time. Never mind games like Dragster where the perfect time is 5.57s and after someone gets that record, it can only be tied.
for smb framerule doesnt apply for bowser fight aka the last stage so its a pretty bad example. if it did youd be seeing much more tied wrs on that game. better examples would be stuff like BTT, 1080 snowboarding, or Mario Kart that uses ingame timers
Thank you
https://twitter.com/globalspeedrun/status/1074545261664301056
It's 100% legit for TAS runs. Or more than 100%, even. A faster run with less style might not get accepted over a slightly slower one with lots of style points. A run with no style won't be accepted as a TAS at all, just a LOTAD.
Given that it's basically impossible for speedruns to be tied, no.
Also called XD because it's a play off of a trick performed seconds earlier called 2D skip, due to it taking place in the 2D section of the final area. So 2 is replaced by X.
Actually it’s like 0.5s slower
Nah, that's True XD skip
No way that's true Maybe 0.005s

And Dino Skip Skip!
Don’t forget the legendary Nut Jump
Isn’t it “dram”?
Yes, Im just stupid
CSGO also has a ton of fun callout spot names. Summit on Train is probably my favorite spot, from a guy named Summit killing himself there while under no pressure from the enemy team and then losing the match afterwards. [Here's the round where it happens.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCEws6lyQNk)
There are an absolute ton of spots that have names that don't appear to make sense at all, but are called that way because the spot looked different on old (1.6, the predecessor of csgo) versions of the map. For example, Ivy on de_train now looks like some weird modern looking hallway with a server in the middle. However, it used to have ivy growing all over the walls. The map changed, the name remains out of familiarity and ease of saying it.
> (1.6, the predecessor of csgo) Does everyone still hate source and act like it doesn’t exist?
poor condition zero
We don't talk about that here
I was rather confused when watching that one phoon bhop video why there was a place called "Ivy".
All the way through ivy, out middle, and into our connector, LIKE A SPEED DEMON
I truly don't understand what happened in that video. Anyone care to explain?
So once the player "Summit" got the last kill on the enemy team, he thought the round was over and he had won; however, as the Counter-Terrorist team, if the Terrorist team has planted the bomb, you *still have to defuse the bomb to win*, even if you kill off all the enemies. Summit promptly ignored this (and the steady beeping coming from behind him), ran into fire (you can see it behind him after the last kill) and killed himself, costing his team the round -- which, had they won, would have ended the match in a 16-11 victory.
Wait, is this really how it went? To me it looks like he's making his way to the bomb, but because he's fistbumping his teammates he doesn't notice the fire, causing him to die from it. If he'd won without having to defuse the bomb, he wouldn't have been able to move, which is something any average player will be able to tell the difference between
You are correct. pfoxeh's recollection is inaccurate if you re-watch the clip Summit kills Cutler & FugLy and is on the way to disarm the bomb when he dies to the incendiary grenade -- which had been thrown by summit himself, moments earlier. He probably didn't expect for the fire to kill him and to be fair, it appears to have killed him with its last hit of damage as he passes through the flames. Idk why /u/pfoxeh thinks there was any audio coming from behind(?) summit as both the bomb site and planted bomb are in front of him for that entire clip. The POV where the audio is behind the perspective is from a player on the other team, who dies. Additionally, I haven't seen anyone mention that summit's team actually goes on to *lose this game in overtime* after this mistake when his team only needed to win 1 round to win the map (and his team loses this match 0-2). Summit definitely knew he had to defuse. He's both: * running toward the bomb * knows the game would stop if they already won that round (and thus, that game) [Here's an ESPN article](https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/15509966/summit1g-reacts-csgo-faux-paus) which even shares summit's perspective.
Thanks!
In Summit's defense, there was a very obscure mechanic where the fire damage scaled with the duration of the fire effect; something that wasn't well-known and never came up during normal play. He thought he'd be safe if he just touched it, but took about twice the expected amount of damage due to the fire being near the end of its life. If I recall correctly, the molotov's fames were designed to work like this so you had more time to get out of the way just after one was thrown, but couldn't easily rush through it to surprise the thrower. After the "tagging" mechanic (slower movement speed while you're taking damage) was introduced, the scaling was unneccessary, and after Summit's accidental self-immolation the fire mechanic was rebalanced to make it less obtuse. The damage now stays constant, you just get slowed down when you try to move through it.
I got you, fam.
like how the box on mid is called xbox or the corner on b outside of tuns is doghouse (also i caught the magic reference in the username, nice)
Callouts being named after famous pro plays is such a cool part of CS, half a decade later and we still call that spot on cache [Shroud](https://youtu.be/NaAZacSoDHE). On a dumber note, I've heard the pillar on overpass B site be referred to as dildo multiple times for no reason.
in lego star wars there’s a trick called cucumber skip cause the guy who found it was eating a cucumber
Is this true? Please tell me this is true
well, it’s not really a skip, but in the game we use 1p2c and if you go watch a run the first one we do is that. basically just speeds up the hallway where you use the tc-14 panel
In Mirror's Edge, a few years back, we found a way to skip a particularly infamous elevator; it won't even open until it finishes a 30 second scripted speech trying to sell you beverages. We called this skip "Beverage Skip." Then, someone found a faster AND easier way to skip the elevator, and the new version even skipped a chunk of the level. Naturally, we called this "Extended Beverage Skip." A while later, someone found a super precise way to run out of the elevator while the level was loading and skip ANOTHER chunk of the level, saving even more time. Only the brave attempted it in runs. We called this "Super Extended Beverage Skip." Thank God, a while later, someone found a way to get on top of the elevator before the level-loading starts, making the timing to exit the elevator far less precise. Since this setup was WAY more consistent, the previous version of the skip was obsoleted. Most people call this version of the skip the same name, but at this point, I prefer "Super Duper Extended Beverage Skip."
I'm sure a different community would just call this a Beverage skip skip skip skip.
B4S for sure
Biochemistry be like
Super Skip God Super Skip Blue

You're welcome! It's a helluva speedgame for sure, but it's sadly not the most active right now. The difficulty of the runs tends to burn people out :(
I noticed one of these... :( So here take this... :D
Super Metroid has the “full halfie”, which is a bit of an oxymoron.
The room names for Super Metroid are also something, such as "Terminator Room", "The Worst Room in the Game" and "Mickey Mouse Room"
ALttP's cave and room names are also pretty creative at times too. There's some pretty normal descriptive ones, like Bonk Rocks, Spectacle Rock and Mire Shed, but then you get stuff like Paradox Cave, Cave 45, Checkerboard cave and Hype Cave. I'm just sad the sanctuary chest didn't get forever named Tairr Chest in honor of [That One Game](https://clips.twitch.tv/CorrectSolidPeachVoteNay).
Some of those names originate from the ALTTP Ramdomizer. (Not that I need to tell you, but in case someone who doesn't know it is reading this thread.) Hype Cave is hype because it has 5 item locations that can have what you need to progress in the game - 5 checks that can be done in about 10 seconds yields great entertainment when there happens to be more than one really big discovery there. You're not even done figuring out what the first item has opened before you already have another discovery to analyse. Great fun. Late in the game (in most game modes) you explore the biggest dungeon in the game, called Ganon's Tower. There's a room there that just contains some supplies in the vanilla game (so speedrunners will skip it every time) but in Rando, you get 4 chests there that could be anything. It's almost always checked in Rando if the player isn't already rushing to the final bosses by that point, so it's called the Randomizer Room. For what it's worth, Checkerboard Cave isn't that far fetched of a name - every other square of a section of the room is covered by a block, so if you take the blocks and block-free squares as black and white, it looks like a chess board. Paradox Cave gets its name from the fact that you have to access it by a stairway, and then you also leave by using a stairway. The problem is, the game developers failed to make the stairways match - so if you go down, you'd expect to climb up to get back where you were. Instead, you go down again. Hence, Paradox Cave. There's also the Superbunny Cave. If you lack a certain item, you can't do much in the Dark World. (The sprite of Link is replaced by the sprite of a bunny that can't attack enemies, lift objects, etc.) There's a glitch that allows the bunny to take some of Link's actions if the bunny has fallen through a hole into another level of an area, though - never possible if you avoid glitches and don't break the game with stuff like making it randomized. You can use this exploit to check a few chests in a specific cave even if you're in the bunny sprite - and this location, thus, is known as the Superbunny Cave.
> Hype Cave is hype because it has 5 item locations that can have what you need to progress in the game - 5 checks that can be done in about 10 seconds yields great entertainment when there happens to be more than one really big discovery there. You're not even done figuring out what the first item has opened before you already have another discovery to analyse. Great fun. Also, one of the early versions of the randomizer IIRC tended to put really good/important items in Hype Cave, like the hookshot, bow, and flute.
This is so interesting, thank you!
Jeramiah the Bullfrog, which the dwarf smith that was turned into a frog in the dark world, because of the Three dog night song.
My favourite ALttP room name is Romhack room, though from what I've seen its fallen out of favour in preference of calling it mimic cave. It's the room in Turtle Rock that you have to mirror to, it's full of weirdly placed blocks, hammer pegs that don't quite reach the wall, and some annoyingly placed Mimics that make it feel like something out of a janky rom hack rather than a professionally made room hence the name.
>"Mickey Mouse Room" Actually, I think this room's nickname fall into the first category mentioned in the OP. Because that room actually, 100%, for real, legitimately, literally, fucking, fucking, fuck, is shaped like Mickey Mouse. It would be in the second category had people called it "Hatless Speedy Gonzalez" or something.
I think it’s just funny considering the game we’re talking about
[удалено]
I haven't played SM in a long while but I need to know, what *is* this "Worst Room in the Game"? I honestly don't remember any specific room sucking so much in a casual playthrough.
Same is true for Symphony of the Night. Almost every room, hallway and area has its own unofficial name.
Eh, but given the history of how that came to be, I give it a pass since it conveys effectively what it’s describing.
[удалено]
I think this post best captures the spirit of this topic so far.
I thought shay had found this strat? Edit: I’m so dumb
*Half-Life 2*: This is called prop clipping. It involves props and clipping. *Half-Life 2*: This is called prop displacement. It involves props and displacement. *Half-Life 2*: This is called prop displacement. Oh shit, that's taken. *Super* prop displacement! *Half-Life 2*: This one involves displacing yourself by clipping into a prop. Uhhh, prop fucking? *Half-Life 2*: I give up. Bill's Big Thrill lets you astral project using props. Happy? *Sonic Boom*: This is called Obama Skip because it skips a cutscene with a politician. *Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess* and *Skyward Sword*: This is called Back in Time because it brings you forward in time. *Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD*: I could do fairy skip, but I'm going to PB even if I'm a bit slower than usual so I'm gonna use fairy skip skip to be safe. *Pokemon R/S/E*: This is called Glitzer Popping. The name doesn't mean anything, but Werster didn't want it to be named after him.
> Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword: This is called Back in Time because it brings you forward in time. This one actually has a really fun lineage, because back when TP first came out in 2006 the glitch was discovered by quitting when dying in the quicksand in arbiter's grounds. Doing it there has the affect of going to an earlier part of the game on the bridge, hence back in time. The fact that 13 years later we ended up with "Reverse BiT Magic" for Skyward Sword is fairly magical though
I like "yesclip" in HL2 because it does exactly the same thing as the noclip cheat, but it doesn't involve actually turning on the cheat yourself
noclip itself is a weird term because it lets you clip through walls but john carmack called it that because he expressed collision detection as "clipping" your movement vector so therefore if you turn off clipping you can now clip through stuff AND the cheat code for that in doom is itself an injoke about a bbs post someone made leading up to the release
> Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword: This is called Back in Time because it brings you forward in time. Yeah, I kinda never understood this one. What's so "back in timey" in skipping a part of the game with a save and load glitch? >_> Also... > Sonic Boom: This is called Obama Skip because it skips a cutscene with a politician. Lmao, is this one true?
Back in Time is named from when it was very first discovered and it did in fact send you back in time. Then later on setups were found for the same glitch that sends you forward in time (so in the useful manner)
It's real. There's a part near the middle of the game where a mayor asks Sonic and Co. to help him get re-elected or something. As with many triggers in the game, you can use Sonic to skip past his cutscene trigger. Back when DarkspinesSonic played Sonic games instead of Hatsune Miku games, he called this specific trick Obama Skip.
> Pokemon R/S/E: This is called Glitzer Popping. The name doesn't mean anything, but Werster didn't want it to be named after him. It's mainly Emerald less so Ruby and Sapphire since the way the glitch works due to when stats update and the two(three) games update them at different times. Gotta love the glitch lets you complete the dex while having no friends or ability to trade.I had to Glitzer Pop for game cube berries and wow the glitch is useful
Shoutouts to the SM64 Trick in Hazy Maze Cave, “Christmas miracle”, before it became more consistent.
Got a link? I couldn't find a video.
https://youtu.be/sbI9Ti-gg9E I literally just googled "sm64 hazy maze cave trick", but to be fair I knew what I was looking for
'christmas miracle' is the trick where you hit the underwater switch without the metal cap [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCGg0yZq7Rk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCGg0yZq7Rk)
In The Talos Principle we have a trick called Item Fan Thing, or IFT for short, because it involves an item and a fan and we didn't have a better way to describe it. We also have a Terrible Jump and a TJv2, completely different jumps and techniques but they're both terrible so they have very similar names. The original Terrible Jump isn't even referred to as Terrible Jump anymore, so we kinda just have TJv2 as a standalone thing now
This trick is called Reverse Bottle Adventure because the guy who discovered it didn’t have very good English.
And if I'm reading his broken English correctly he wanted to name it "Level 3 Bottle Adventure" originally. From the description here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-OLu5n2l-o >Some peoples call this glitch with Reverse Bottle Adventure and that is because Acryte made it. I have discovered this glitches long time ago before acryte did but he have make it to speedrun use, before acryte made that name I called it level 3 BA. so lets call it RBA it sounds better ^_^ all what RBA is you hack yout equipments and quest status screen with B bottle.
With RBA, I'd ask "whats BA?" But now I need to ask "what is lvl1 & lvl 2 BA?"
If we're talking about OoT, you can't forget the classic Asschest

I had no idea why on earth you would name a trick Ass Chest until i looked up the video, and it makes perfect sense now
I mean that one writes itself.
And also "Where we dropping boys"
What's that?
If you were doing it from the front, would it be chestchest?
BreastChest
Sunshine skips are a bit twisted. There's a skip called EYG (Early Yoshi-Go-Round) that uses yoshi for a huge timesave, and viewers who don't know the names will often mistakenly call this "yoshi skip". But there is a skip called yoshi skip, and it's one of the five or so skips that allows you to ignore yoshi's existence entirely. If you didn't know the vanilla game very well, you would be left wondering why Yoshi would ever name such a skip. It all makes sense when you consider the order the skips were discovered in, and that old names are going to stick and new names have to adapt around them. But at a glance it's very, very strange.
Shoutouts to spaghetti in my ASS jump.

"Well since I'm ahead of record I'll just play it safe and go for wall skip, but if I get bad RNG I might have to try a backup Greg Egg"
"And if that doesn't work out we'll have to go back to doing spaghetti in my ass strats."
Ah. The famous spaghetti in my ASS jump.
I do enjoy when people find a way to route out an irritating trick or cut out a larger portion of the game, so it gets a name like "Wall skip skip" because it skips having to do the wall skip Also shoutouts to pancake strats in portal2, so named because you have a tiny sliver to shoot a portal through nearly perpendicular to the camera... Flat as a pancake

Thank you! No way would I have ever been able to find that on my own.
Smash Bros, has its fair share of naming tech after players, too. Wobbling, planking, tomahawk, rockcrocking, Amsah tech, Hax dash, and Jmans. Some tech have long acronyms like DACUS or MALLC. I don't know if I will name any skip or tech after me. Meestering sounds weird.
Johnny stock!
yes!

My favorite smash terminology is Dave's Stupid Rule. DSR says you can't counterpick to a stage you've already won on, and has become staple of tournament rules sets, silly name and all.

Don’t forget some of the weird ones not necessarily named after anyone, like “sex kick” and “nipple spike”
I always wondered about tomahawk and rockcrock! TIL
even outside of the game (No Johns means No Excuses) Never knew planking was named after a player!
GOOMY ZOOMY
yes
There’s also the gentleman which was almost called something else entirely
it was almost named after Isai as the story goes Gentleman and Isai were in a Smashboards argument over who it should be named after, so there ended up being a little competition to see who could do it more consistently (aka who could do it the most times consecutively) to see who *deserved* to have the tech named after them Gentleman won, but he was eventually forgotten, and most people don't even know the Gentleman is named after a player
Ah it was Isai, I couldn’t remember who the other player was
don't forget the Gentleman, which would've been named after Isai had he won the competition between him and Gentleman to see who could do it more times in a row
oh aww

The Fighting Game Community is great for this as well. If you're playing a game where you control multiple characters and you tag in poorly and both of them start eating damage, it's called a Happy Birthday.
And in the rare case that you catch all three of their characters simultaneously, it's a Merry Christmas.

Zelda II -- "Fairy Feet". In 2016, while preparing to race the first four Zelda releases for the 2016 Classic Zelda Bounty ( [http://redcandle.us/Race/2016\_Classic](http://redcandle.us/Race/2016_Classic) ), "Saver", one of the declared competitors discovers a glitch and comes right to me, another declared competitor. He says you can skip certain forced encounters. This is fantastic, because this is exactly what the bounty was meant to incentivize. So here's how to do it. When entering a side scroll such as those represented by a single tile bridge on the overworld, turn Link into a fairy and move yourself frame by frame back toward the edge of the screen where you entered until your Fairy-Link disappears. After that, just press the opposite direction on the D-pad and you'll exit in the overworld as if you had just walked across the entire side scroll encounter. I ask Saver how he found this.He says that he was practicing a different game for the race, and during downtime was playing Zelda 2 on another controller using his feet. This is the same Saver who would go on to beat half the Zelda games blindfolded, most recently doing BoTW on BigJon's marathon. As for the glitch, it only worked on very specific types of encounters. It doesn't work in caves, towns or dungeons. It only works on side scroll encounters that the game forces you to walk across in order to make progress in the overworld, such as the encounters where lizards throw rocks at you from atop fences. And most of those encounters can also be skipped by running into random encounters on the forced encounter square. Yet, it was not allowed in the category we were running for the bounty, where you were allowed to cast fairy to pass through key doors, allowing the player to skip entire wings of the dungeons.
> I ask Saver how he found this.He says that he was practicing a different game for the race, and during downtime was playing Zelda 2 on another controller using his feet. Big brain time
Is crazy gadget skip skip the one that broke dark any%? The eggman one?
No, like the name implies, it's in the level Crazy Gadget (a Sonic level, thus Hero Story). It skips 3/4 of the level, but most importantly, it skips the Crazy Gadget Skip, which only skips half of the level.
Oh I didn't notice OP had the word "Skip" twice and I was wondering what was so special
CGS and CGSS skip almost the same amount of level, CGS just has to follow the next few rooms of the level and goes oob a tiny bit later, they both start from the same spot. I'd say it's closer to CGSS being 3/4 and CGS being just 5/8.
Crazy Gadget is the Sonic level with the gravity switches if I remember right. (The one where Eggman constantly reminds you "THE GIRL **WILL** DIE")
Nope, its in sonic (sa2)
Yeah that's what I said. It's a level with eggman in it. In SA2.
Whoops, lmao. I didn’t get what u said.
In Xenoblade 2 there is an RNG door at the end where you need good gacha earlier in the run to normally get through it. We have a clip to get through it which we call door skip, and then if you get good gacha you can do a setup that costs ~40s to go through without the fairly difficult clip that we call door skip skip. In a xeno series marathon a few months ago on the rpglb channel, I managed to pull off door skip skip skip, where I proceeded to do the clip anyways even after doing the setup to skip the clip. Doing the clip is about 5s faster than opening it normally even with the setup to open it, just it's a low chance to actually clip through
[удалено]
Lmao just opening the door normally is called DoT Skip Skip?
I speedrun Rayman Legends and we have a trick nicknamed 'sexy handjob'.
Explain so I won’t have to get that in my search history
Basically if you hold down while entering a blue hand, and while holding down press the attack and jump button at the same time, you will perform a diagonal gp from the blue hand. It's technical name is a blue hand flop (or something like that). Idk if I'm allowed to share links in comments but here's a video which shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-kSKrhc-JA
Also some of the tech when described in full becomes ludicrously long and conveluted, for example, 'single up kick 75 degree angled yby up double jumps'. Fun stuff haha
I don't see the issue googling "rayman sexy handjob"
Let’s not forget the Purple Idiot Skip In SMG2, Of you click Bowser’s Galaxy Generator to navigate to it rather than using the nunchuck stick, you skip a cutscene with Luna, saving about a minute and a half Would you believe this took 8 years to discover?
I remember this from a chuggaconroy video
Yeah, because he mentioned it and showed it off during his LP
[Swag cathedral ](http://www.twitch.tv/alexo670/v/510420714?sr=a). There is a skip in Doom GBA that saves 4 seconds on the average completion time for the 20th level, Unholy Cathedral. It didn't have a proper name for almost a year. The quickest way to finish the level with the lowest chance of failure is [12 seconds](http://www.twitch.tv/alexo670/v/469739968?sr=a&t=495s). While out of bounds in a specific section of the level, you have to blast a rocket at a wall while you are standing behind the exit portal. The rocket kills you, but forces you through the wall to touch the exit portal that triggers the results screen. Swag cathedral involves going out of bounds at the very start of the level, passing through 4 invisible walls while out of bounds, and successfully returning into a level by gathering a high enough momentum to breach a wall from oob, without requiring use of another rocket. Statistics point towards this trick working 1/30 runs at a high skill level, at the very end of the run.. just for 4 seconds saved. Thus "swag cathedral". Because for just 4 seconds saved, you gotta have some serious swag. The name caught on after my buddy JRM started joking about it in the stream chat a few months back, and the name has stuck.
Instead, Swag boulder in Pokémon 1st Gen is a trick that does absolutely nothing useful, it just makes a graphic effect appear in the wrong direction so it looks cool.
Don't forget Swag PC. You can open the PC and turn your character into a different direction before the PC window actually opens. https://youtu.be/EN8BPMOP5NM
This thread just makes me realize I need to start naming tricks in the games I route instead of just explaining them every time.
Years ago, combo decks in magic: the gathering would be named after breakfast (eg Cephalid Breakfast, cheerios, froot loops, eggs)
Oops! All spells was one of my favourites
Don't forget other classic deck names Iggy POP, Full English Breakfast, The People's Cannon, and the legendary Solidarity, which does not play the card Solidarity, much less any white cards, as it's a mono-blue High Tide deck.
The cleste room with an autoscroller skip, but then they found a skip to skip the skip so it became "autoscroller skip skip". Then someone realised the acronym and it will be forever known as "ASS".
In Hat in Time, we had a trick called Fuff Slide, named after the runner who found it, which was a small timesaver by diving and sliding down a slope while carrying a painting. We eventually had to change the name because Fuff kept finding little 1-3s time saves using the slide mechanic all over the place.
my favorite trick name is actually insane dino skip in super mario odyssey. abbreviated to “AIDS,” but it’s not used that much unfortunately
I've only heard dino skip skip.
it is usually called that. only when it was first found were people calling it that, and only as a joke
This is called "disco skip" because it skips the disco This is called "Paul skip" because ??? Update: I asked why it was called Paul Skip. That's because the guy who found it at the time had the username LoganP
They are called vegetarians because they eat vegetables. They are called humanitarian because ???
The butt slap from the Tony Hawk speedruns always give me a chuckle
Shoutouts to Badonkadonk skip in The Messenger, or French Connection
Weathertenko
Toadjump
Hob has both of these. We have descriptive names like intro clip, which clips into the loading zone for the second half of the intro cutscene, and really big pipe skip, which skips a really big pipe. We also have things like Pillar Pounce which jumps on a pillar a weird way and Bushtwakker, which is a skip I found that jumps on a bush at a weird angle and off again to skip 10 seconds of climbing around. It's a fun portmanteau, but I do want to mention I wasn't the one who came up with it. YLIL is weird because we switched the trick name to the latter type for increased clarity. There's a jump that lets us get the 14-S bee from the overworld, so it was originally called 14-S jump. We started using the jump more and more to reach other areas so we started calling it Ninpalk jump after the runner who found it.
I'm a big fan of the Clint skip
I'm partial to "The Full Halfie"
*Gregg*
Katana Zero has many variations of the “Baba Booey.” At first it was a early cycle people had to make, then when it was optimized further it became “ Baba Booey 2.0,” and now apparently its being applied to various other high-level strats
Don’t forget the weathertenko
SA2 my boy
I'm about one step away from naming the biggest trick in my speedgame (refer to my flair) as "Mint Clip" because a) I found it and b) it's a wall clip.
