Longbeam Shortcut
Discovered By - ShadowXOR
This little trick is useful in 100% speed runs as well as in an any% run where people choose to pick it up. To
perform this speed trick (one of the few NOT put in deliberately by Nintendo), once you've collected the
longbeam, instead of going up, duck at the tunnel used to come in.
Now, fire a shot and almost straight after, roll into a ball and move right. You'll see the first of the three
blocks be destroyed. Roll back, unmorph and crouch again. Shoot (while kneeling), roll quickly after and go
forwards. You should see the second block go. Finally, the toughest block. Normally, it doesn't matter at
what height you fire the blast for the first two blocks. But for the final block, the height of your shot
makes ALL the difference.
When crouched, as you press down, fire your gun. Now, press the d-pad in a quarter circular motion as if
you were trying to do a fireball in Streefighter 2. If you do it right, the shot should be close to the the
ground and you'll roll in just behind it. If the shot is too high, it'll miss, so make sure the shot is as
close to that ground as possible. And when performed in a fluid motion, it'll speed your run up by a minute or
so.
