Go Faster!
Quote from barinelg:
Using the first frog can help you get through this screen faster, but only appears to do so if RNG is on your side. Haven't noticed a way to manipulate them.
you can hit the plant and then cancel it into a jump downstab, you have just enough time to get on the platform and jump to the edge of the ledge, then over the frog, not sure how much slower it is, but it's 100% consistent
I trip over my own feet in game.

For those curious, this is the way Sent is saying to do. It appears they take about the same amount of time. Frog is swag then.

Real quick Mr. K. I haven't actually mentioned this on here, I mentioned it on IRC, but I found a trick that when you go into a fight with an enemy on the overworld map, then exit to title screen and reload the file, you'll stay in the same tile, but the enemy won't interact with you until you move back onto the tile, which is a way to skip the second Black Knight fight. If that proves worth it to use, then we can't use IGT.

I found a way to skip almost all of the anchor platforms in the Iron Whale.
Skipping the second anchor is easy, but jumping on the corner of moving anchors is really precise. Waiting a second for the fish wizard guy to fire his bolts and using them to pogo over the four-anchor gap is a lot safer and just a tiny bit slower.

This is my run from yesterday that doesn't use any relics: http://www.twitch.tv/cptbrian/c/4551069 1:24:18 RTA
It was my any% before any relic routing, which now consists of quick kills and skips, as seen in this thread.

This is going to be my first, no-doubt game that I'm going to run and I'm so glad people are on this game so quick. I just started playing it since last night and off the bat, thanks to watching runs of other games, I've been using some of the strats you guys have posted (ie. mini boss run-bys, flying dagger). I'll try to contribute to this as much as I can.
So we're going for the any% route. Uhm... fine with me.
I tired messing around with the frog skip but the results are underwhelming.
The most consistent way I found to make it jump towards me is to hit it up close, wait still for it to land and hitting jump+left the frame after it lands otherwise, if you jump the same frame it lands, it will jump away from you. I also tried to see if standing still after you hit it would change the results based on how far away you were from it but it didn't seem like it so I'm inclined to think it reacts to your movements.
The problem with this method is that I ALWAYS bonk my head under the moving platform. I get it to jump towards me almost everytime but I can't make use of it.
Otherwise every other setup I tried seemed pretty random so I guess it's not worth it to risk it. Anyway a more intensive check is required.
