Portal 2

ohhh i get it, so basically the force thing they implemented to keep you from peek-a-portaling gets added to your velocity pushing you out of the portal faster, so we gain more height?

Wow, I didn't even realize I had found a major glitch lol. I figured the glitch was already found because of how easy it is to reproduce. Since I'm going through the game very slowly (I'm still on Chapter 2 and playing other games) I decided to avoid as many spoilers as possible for later chapters. I don't know the layout of the later levels. So my random assumption was that this glitch was known and being used in other chapters and Transgenic was making videos utilizing it in some way. I'm gonna go change my video title and add annotations.

Unfortunately i couldn't even get this to work with a starting noclip boost from the very top of the elevator. I tried some other stuff as well but it was all dead ends. damn.

edit: unless someone finds a more effective way of curving in the air....

The reasoning for that is because that fling is scripted, when you get a certain speed it will fling you the same distance as always even if you have extreme speed. The reportal glitch gives you extra speed after the scripted fling which makes you travel further. There are three 'places' where you can place your portal at but they all fling you away at the same direction which is so stuuuupid.

Here's ExplodingCabbage idea made into a demo (sp_a2_ricochet):

I've a theory that might work and if it does it will speed up this level significantly. Pardon the didgeridoo music, I was so hypnotized by it that I forgot that it was on while I recorded

You guys are awesome for discovering these things. Anyone gunna compile a list or put this on the wiki, I am interested in speedrunning this using every exploit possible.
Note: Yay, first post.

coolkid compiled quite a nice list (though badly in need of updating, not really surprising though, considering the pace at which this is going) over here.

@below: Don't sweat it. I think you're wonderful for doing this. I was thinking of doing it myself but quickly shunned away when I saw how quickly glitches and routes are found.

@belowbelow: THAT. IS FUCKING AMAZING.

DEMO OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

edit: no, srsly, your making this up.
edit2: from what i can tell, the fling is scripted. adding reportal gets you as far as DemonStrate did. HOW?!

I owe this man a cake!!! I was trying to do it that way too, but I couldn't find the right spot to hit on that pipe. Nice job.

But seriously, I can send you money so you can buy yourself a cake. Do you have a Paypal account? Also, make that video a video response to mine on YouTube.

Go to my video and instead of posting a comment, there is a link beside the comment box that says "Post a video response." Click that and select an already uploaded video from your account. Also, thanks for kind and not making me pay you. :-P

My next set of routes. I can't wait to be done the a2 series. Just so everyone knows, this game has a total of 63 maps... By that alone, the game will take probably 3 times as long to speedrun.

21 sp_a2_bridge_the_gap Chapter 3, Chamber 12

22 sp_a2_turret_intro Chapter 3, Chamber 13

23 sp_a2_laser_relays Chapter 3, Chamber 14

24 sp_a2_turret_blocker Chapter 3, Chamber 15

25 sp_a2_laser_vs_turret Chapter 3, Chamber 16

26 sp_a2_pull_the_rug Chapter 3, Chamber 17

Addtitionally, 2 route updates for these maps:
16 sp_a2_pit_flings Chapter 2, Chamber 07

20 sp_a2_bridge_intro Chapter 3, Chamber 11

Here's a possible route for sp_a2_column_blocker. Probably the best way unless someone can find a way to use the reportal glitch in this chamber.

Good job on improving sp_a2_column_blocker. The only point that I can see a reportal would be useful is at the end instead of using the bridge. I don't know if you will be sent flying far enough, though. Worth a shot.

I was convinced permanent flying should be possible whatever the orientation of the funnel, and I found how to get it from a vertical one.

I'ts possible to get cross level flying on sp_a4_tb_intro , but it makes the map a bit longer and you have the horizontal funnel on the next map to get flying from, but it might save some time.

Once it uploads here:

1) Get a misaligned portal on the funnel. The funnel has to go through it (This puts the portal into Funneling Mode).
2) Crouch here and jump (I used DemonStrate's mouse trick with the G500, and just let it jump for me.

nce you are locked in crouch, you are in crouch flying mode, you will fall if you stand up.

3) Shoot a new portal off to the side, this one should be partly on the funnel, but does not have the funnel going through it.
4) Move over to it, and stand up. Now you are in a funnel, and you are not pushed into a locked crouch when you activate the cross level flight.
5) Do not touch crouch as you move your side of the portal from the other side.

I estimate this path would be 5-15 seconds slower than skipping flying.

A little skip in sp_a3_bomb_flings, I'm not sure whether using ceiling bouncing to skip the "stairs" would be faster:

Edit: Just realized it probably is fastest to use reportaling to get up there.
