Title: TELL ME JAWZUN (OR OTHER SKILLFUL PERSONS)
Post by: Azure on May 14, 2008, 10:13:39 am
HOW DO YOU PRESS THE B BUTTON SO FAST IN SA(DX)

IT HAS BEEN A MYSTERY

No, seriously, I just wanted to know these things:
How do you do the lighthouse spindash method in Emerald Coast?
And what is the proper technique for these shortcuts in Red Mountain:
1.) After you take the first rocket to the platform with the spring, you somehow jump onto another rock instead of hitting the spring.
2.) And in the lava area, isn't there a new shortcut?

Jawzun's smashing speed is a big part of why I've given up. It's a mystery to me as well.

You spindash.

1.) After you take the first rocket to the platform with the spring, you somehow jump onto another rock instead of hitting the spring.
Don't hit the spring; jump to the other rock.

I can tap relatively fast, I just don't have that much skill when TA'ing.  One technique(which I have yet to perfect) is alternate tapping between b and x(gamecube), and when done correctly seems to be faster than even Jawzun. :D

Rubs hands together.
Still amused how I didn't even realize there were two spindash buttons/keys until three weeks ago.  <_<

And the Emerald Coast one is actually pretty easy; right now I can do it about one shot in seven.  You know how there's a ramp at the base of the peak, right?  Start by spinning up the side of the ramp, then you can stick to the wall and climb further up.  Landing, on the other hand ... only managed to do that once so far.

The Light house method is done by spindashing, but it's not that simple, you must not touch the walls or the fence I think, beacuse it stops you.

What DarkspinesSonic says about using both B and X, I don't use that technique when on a normal stage. I only use it in E-101 boss.

As for Red Mountain...
well, I'll better upload a video =P
