schmeling65

don't think so

failentin

assuming the gladiator is always in the exactly right spot, which is doubtful

schmeling65

even from the front, when he blocks, you are still in the air

schmeling65

that is what I do most of the time in UXXL dealing with shield-buddies. jump, bashing, the moment I would get hits, jump again

sypervenya

Yes,I guess, or he will prevent you from jumping

sypervenya

You will lose some speed

sypervenya

It is not easy at all

sypervenya

It is 0,5 speed

sypervenya

Sometimes you can't jump if you spam kick

schmeling65

Ah I know what could be the problem there. Because he blocks, it's possible that he is sliding backwards (not sure how much). That could cost you the fly-frame. But I am not sure. Otherwise you could also do it with the dogs as these have no blocking shields here. Harder yes, but possible

schmeling65

I don't know what you are doing, but when I jumped once I can always jump a second time :obelul:

schmeling65

Except I forgot I did it already. Then I F'ed up

sypervenya

TAS saved 9 seconds compared to Failentin's Greece by doing this

sypervenya

So it is not worth it

baku69

I remember heso was trying sth similar but in other direction, but nice that it works lol

failentin

If it was consistent and not too hard, it would be awesome so we don't have to do a PH route

baku69

Yes pls

baku69

🙏

baku69

Compared to full any% run ? Like all segments ?

sypervenya
