(how do I embed :()

Have I missed any tricks that can consistently be executed even with at least 200ms of ping? Also, how do I fix this grainy-ness?  :(

Tricks I have intentionally not included:

Galleon: main engine jump to turning engines-Rubber band galore AND teleporting into thin air

Spire: top right gun to edge of railing to hull-Bungee cord stuck to feet


Tricks I have unintentionally not included:

Mobula: Something about going from the helm to a lower gun? Even so I'm not sure that's useful for engis.

I'll throw this into a Steam Guide as soon as I'm certain nothing has been missed.

Alistair MacBain:
One thing i missed on the squid are midair repairs on the topengines when doing the engine jumps.
But besides that i cant think of anything you missed. good work there.

vyew:
Ah yes, well I didn't include that for 2 reasons

1) I can't do it consistently :o I end up under shooting because I forget to hold A while hitting in mid air xD

2) If you hit the top engine from below, is the mid air hit really required? Though I think I read N-Sunderland say something many months ago about the mid air hit ending up contributing very slightly to more efficiency. Either way I think just hitting the top engines from below is easier to do.

Alistair MacBain:
Dunno i like doing it that way.
Hit one top engine -> jump down with a midair hit on the second engine -> lower engine you landed next to -> 2 railingjumps towards the last turning engine
Repeat. Depends what your second engineer does but that is a quite efficient route.

N-Sunderland:
In my experience the best repair circuit for the Squid is like this:

-hit port top engine from below
-hit port bottom engine
-hit the top starboard engine in mid-air with a rail jump (the one where you cut the corner, not the one where you jump down from the top deck)
-land on starboard walkway and hit bottom engine

It's a really easy method, and it's around the same speed as all the other fast ones.


By the way, that's a really good video. I'm glad to see someone showing all those tricks off, since others (well, me at least) got lazy about doing it.
