Original Concept by r0bd0g: youtu.be/s9ueU-NwKmI
dotzo removed annoying chu part by using twisted hookshot thing: youtu.be/Y1tD1kHNPRM
dotzo's setup still needed an explosive to blow up gossip stone, but I found you don't need it from a specific position.
It might be useful for bingo task "open x gold rupee chests" when you want to save explosives but failed hess.

![Improved Collapse Clip Setup (9 Chus)
[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]
I didnt explain nothing in the video except input viewer, because there are many notices for this trick and couldnt explain everything, so Ill explain here
Previous Setup: https://youtu.be/pYM8-ryxa84
For previous setup, you needed to roll + sidehop + roll for clipping. Blini found simpler adjustment but still needed extra sidehop. https://youtu.be/eHK2bcNystw
So I made 5 setups for removing that extra movement for in September 2018, but I made that video unlisted for a long time since I felt these are incomplete setups. But some people use the setup in runs already and often I was asked about the setup, so I decided to upload this video.
This setup is 2-3 sec faster than previous one even with blinis adjustment. One reason is no extra movement for clipping but less stance changing is another reason.
The video with coordinates (Setup 3): https://youtu.be/QNL-Q1qamTA?t=80
This unlisted video has the other 4 setups too. You might be able to find better setup for you.
Also this Dannys tutorial is for iron boots setup but still useful for learning Links stance thing: https://youtu.be/0k2-O8IWSlE
[Setup]
1. get ISG
2. target to the left side wall of gate, turn left, keep the angle and right sidehops to the corner (basically 3 times is enough but it could give bad position if your start position is too far from corner, so 4 times is safe)
*1: you can get same angle by just turning right after entered room: Its a bit faster if you can get ISG from bomb or chu.
*2: by sidehops to the corner, you can get slightly slightly different two coordinates. but its so small difference (you cant check that difference by gz watches) and no matter for clipping as long as you did 4 sidehops.
3. (re-target/shield flick for avoiding sideroll,) dryroll, backflip, sideroll, dryroll
4. sidehop left and keep holding left for sidewalk, pause after Link reach the ledge, equip hover boots, backflip during unpause lag and shield drop a chu on the 2nd/3rd backflip frame for 1st hovering
*3: you need to hold left to the ledge before hoverboots backflip. otherwise you cant get good coordinate with 1st hovering. So you can NOT do like this: left sidewalk to the ledge → stop holding left → pause → backflip + hovering
Links stance is important after this.
when Link holds shield, his knee faces left or right
his knee faces to left, its left stance
his knee faces to right, its right stance
this stance can change by tap ESS left/right
tap ESS right: makes left stance
tap ESS left: makes right stance
with each stance, hovering timing is a bit different
=left stance hovering=
- pull out a chu
- hold down (for minimum 1 frame)
- drop chu and backflip on the 1st/2nd drop frame
=right stance hovering=
- pull out a chu
- hold down (for minimum 1 frame)
- drop chu and backflip on the 0th/1st drop frame
(0th means drop and backflip at the same time)
5. do more 8 hovering like this
- 3 right stance hovering
- 1 left stance hovering
- 3 right stance hovering
- 1 left stance hovering
6. equip kokiri boots, right sidehop (release Z during sidehop)
7. turn right , z-target once but release it, press A for dryroll (if you keep holding z after dryroll, you cant turn after this)
8. turn around, 2 frames ESS turn left
9. right sidehop, jumpslash on the 12th-15th frame and hold stick any direction (holding right after sidehop is easy)
Before this setup, many people worked on this trick. I dont name here but I appreciate them for amazing working. Improved Collapse Clip Setup (9 Chus)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p0xAJsxMm1c/mqdefault.jpg)

![Collapse Clip Setup after 1080 (9 Chus, No Iron Boots, No frame perfect inputs)
[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]
(EDIT) I made improved setup, but I dont know which one is good for you, try both if you can: https://youtu.be/p0xAJsxMm1c

The video with coordinates and angle: https://youtu.be/_uvdh4Wped0
This Dannys tutorial is for iron boots setup but still useful for learning Links stance thing: https://youtu.be/0k2-O8IWSlE
- get ISG
- target to the left side wall of gate, turn left, keep the angle and right sidehops to the corner (3 times at least)
*1: you can get same angle by just turning right after entered room: Its a bit faster if you can get ISG from bomb or chu.
*2: by sidehops to the corner, you can get slightly slightly different two coordinates. but its so small difference (you cant check that difference by gz watches) and no matter for clipping
- backflip, left sidehop, sideroll, dryroll, right sidehop, left sidehop, pause, equip hover boots, backflip during unpause lag and shield drop a chu on the 2nd-4th backflip frame for 1st hovering
*3: two sidehops before equipping hover boots looks unnecessary but actually its important since it gives weird backflip which moves slightly left and this setup uses it. this backflip is killed by resetting Links movement. so you need to care about like these stuff before 1st hovering:
- do NOT equip hover boots on the first landing frame
- do NOT re-target/flick shield/hold shield before bacflip
- do NOT hold down too long before backflip even only 1 frame (it means you need to hold down and press A at the same time for backflip)
Links stance is important after this.
when Link holds shield, his knee faces left or right
his knee faces to left, its left stance
his knee faces to right, its right stance
this stance can change by tap ESS left/right
tap ESS right: makes left stance
tap ESS left: makes right stance
with each stance, hovering timing is a bit different
=left stance hovering=
- pull out a chu
- hold down (for minimum 1 frame)
- drop chu and backflip on the 1st/2nd drop frame
=right stance hovering=
- pull out a chu
- hold down (for minimum 1 frame)
- drop chu and backflip on the 0th/1st drop frame
(0th means drop and backflip at the same time)
- 1 left stance hovering
- 2 right stance hovering
- 1 left stance hovering
- 3 right stance hovering
- 1 left stance hovering
*4: for 6th and 8th hovering, you can use left stance hovering instead of right stance one. but even if you use it, stance change number is same
- equip kokiri boots, right sidehop (release Z during sidehop)
- turn right , dryroll (release Z right after roll), turn left, right sidehop (release Z during sidehop), turn right, dryroll again(release Z right after roll) (then you can clip if you did correctly)
(EDIT) blinis strat is better than 2 dryroll: https://youtu.be/eHK2bcNystw
- turn around, 3 frames ESS turn left
- right sidehop, jumpslash on the 9th-11th frame and hold stick any direction (holding right after sidehop is easy)
(EDIT) 2 frames ESS turn left is better than 3 frames, because you can have 5 frame window for jumpslash (11th-15th sidehop frame). I thought it was 2 frames jumpslash with 2 frames ESS turn. but it was wrong and danny told me this, thank you lol
Jolin and I had setup for no iron boots, but these required some frame perfect inputs, so I improved setup for removing frame perfect inputs. Its only 2 sec faster than Jolins setup with 2 pause since it has some extra movement. But no frame perfect inputs should mean much more than actual timesave. I still hope someone make more simple setup though.
My old setup: https://youtu.be/kwWNIHTxo5U
Jolins setup: https://youtu.be/TJit1wq3k8A
Also its another setup I made: https://youtu.be/aepj7sI0gnc
still 9 chus, no iron boots, no frame perfect inputs and stance change is a bit simple, but jumpslash is 2 frame window and almost same speed as the setup in this video, so I linked unlisted video here but I wont make decent video for this Collapse Clip Setup after 1080 (9 Chus, No Iron Boots, No frame perfect inputs)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pYM8-ryxa84/mqdefault.jpg)
