Lol nice, im sure speedrunners know how to do this consistently and utilize it all the time.

Had the same thing happen except it launched me into the stratosphere

"lemme just grab this soul sphere real quick" *FLYS*

Arena Chest: 🤓🤓🤓

yea

that's a speedrun hack for newbies like you

Anyway, you could replicate this by dashing towards the guard rails at a sharp angle, or while your side is pressed against it, with varying degrees of boosting as a result. Dashing towards them head-on won't do anything.

It's tricky, but if you can gauge the approximate distance you cover with a dash animation and set yourself up at just the perfect distance, a single dash can launch you to seemingly infinite darkness.

Id Tech 6 (DOOM 2016) had a very similar thing. If you dropped from height and tried bunny hopping from guard rails you'd launch yourself to oblivion. (can still do it)

For some reason, this specific level has many areas where you can try to replicate that sort of thing, Dashing into the guard rails is more effective that bhops, but bhops can also create instances of this.

You could call it a variation of edge boosting. I'm not sure how the air control rune affects this, but some experimentation could easily answer that, and my guess is that it would have some impact.

Yeah, thats what I thought. But I just could not replicate it, no matter how many times I tried.
(Got kinda close though)

that look good for speedrunning
