Simply using Strike Chain close to an overhang resets vertical speed while keeping dash movement. If a Strike Chain grapples something and either pulls X completely or not at all, it resets vertical speed. The Strike Chain can reset vertical speed. This trick does not work on floors with walls underneath. When X is inside the floor, it functions as a ladder. If X fires a Strike Chain prior to climbing down a ladder, the Strike Chain will continue and grab the interior of a thin floor when X climbs down. X can enter thin floors with Strike Chain. If the Strike Chain pull is cancelled before then (by pressing opposite direction to the pull), X drops off the Strike Chain at the same vertical downward speed as when before being pulled, or even jump upward slightly if X was jumping upward before being pulled. X’s speed only resets if he reaches the end of the Strike Chain. When charged, it pulls X even faster and from further away.Īs the Strike Chain pulls X, vertical speed is preserved. This method of horizontal movement is one of the fastest in the game, even though it is brief and limited. The Strike Chain is a weapon and grappling hook with many properties that are important in a speedrun:
Vile must explode in order for the trick to work. You must destroy him using the Spinning Blades or else he will escape. First destroy the armor, then Vile will fight you himself. Go through the factory until you find Vile. At any of these locations find a purple teleporter, it will take you to the secret factory. First you must defeat Vile in the secret factory that is accessible by hidden teleport chambers in Blizzard Buffalo's stage, Volt Catfish's stage, and Crush Crawfish's stage.
