Originally recorded 5/29/2016. This strategy was originally discovered around 2013 or so and was thought to be TAS-only for a very long time. This video is the second time I was able to get this strat on console and the first time on video. To this day, people do not really implement this trick in All Levels runs due to the high risk, but a few of my older RTA runs were able to get 1 or 2 cycle skips in them. Maybe someday this will become commonplace, but for now its aura remains.
Original video description below:
Had done this once before but wasn't recording - glad I was able to get a video of it. Still barely RTA-viable, but might start putting this back into runs. We'll see. -- Watch live at twitch.tv/joester98
