God of War II: Colossus' foot glitches pt. 1.

THIS is the video I've been eager to show you for some time already. The title may sound silly, but don't let that get to you.

The video speaks for itself for a large part. The glitch is done by breaking out of a move the instant the foot touches Kratos. You have a couple of seconds to change the variables of this QTE around, and...

I'd like to think the last application would save time, but without infinite jump (and loading trigger scavenger hunt) we get stuck... Maybe someone with a better knack for IJ could try it out? NOTE: I doubt it's possible after doing a swim-around at this area.

Another time saver would be if we could get Kratos to 'appear' right next to the ladders after the minigame. Would save walking/rolling/jumping distance. (however, see part II for a problem that might arise)

Excellent Akheon.

Have you experimented with tricking the instant you exit the start menu?

Did you break the camera angle again?

[AKheon]

Tricking the instant you exit the start menu? Never heard of that one.

Camera angles... fragile things. They never shoulda got in my way!

Amusing.

It would at first appear you found a BP only improvement (skip)..but then it looks to have failed in the end. (similiar to the original failure I had with skipping the eye lasers of the Colossus (skull) which Shen figured a way around.

If anyone knows that technique, it is Shen. (Infinite Jump plays to his strengths..and he created it)

It's how I used cycle cancelling to guarantee reversal of petrification. It works without it but it can be a little hit and miss.

It also works great for firing PS when really there wasn't time to do so safely. Fire PS, cyclecancel to trick = PS connects and attack is negated.

One day those poor camera angles will unite and wreak their terrible revenge on you.

On an unrelated note I am loving the newish "audio preview" button.
