I just started playing FSA again and was wondering what are the strats for consistent gap skipping. I can get it sometimes, but others Link will simply either not start the hover or one of the Links will not end up on the other side.

[26pt2]

For Level 1-1 and level 2-2, stand as close to the right wall as possible and a bit below the hole (so you don't just roll in and fall). Roll up while holding up on the C stick. When you reach the other side, dash slash up (while holding up on the C stick) and immediately press X to switch to another Link when Red Link slashes onto the platform.

Super weird dead links glitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOjaEau4P8w

Edit: Fixed the dead link - mzxrules

Good news! Mzx created a section for FSA for the site. So far, Sergi, Zmaster91, 26pt2, and I have the ability to make & edit pages for it.

[26pt2]

Sweet! For anyone that would like to see (I couldn't find a link on the front page), here it is: http://zeldaspeedruns.com/fsa/tech/formation-hover

[mzxrules]

There isn't one because there weren't any pages to the site. If you fill out a few of 'm then I'll add it to the front page.

topic exploded since I last looked here!

I really wana get into this game later on when I can get my hands on it.

Some neat stuff popping up as well!

I am currently exploring something weird in the game, probably nothing but really hard to do it when I have to play at a friends house..

I finally finished making the Google Doc. Basically, it lists the items picked up for each individual level. Also, I explained all of the known glitches thus far. The coolest part is that there are links to the videos (mostly by zmaster91) that are very helpful. I will be checking the co-op route since there is much more optimization needed in that department. Anyways, check it out!

O yes this is amazing

Also would be nice to get a 4 sword section on the forums :3

[NOUFozzy]

FSA section on the forums would be great. And one on the website, too. I'm down for writing glitches and stuff on the page, if I can get a quick little tutorial on how to do so.

[mzxrules]

There's already a FSA section on the website at http://zeldaspeedruns.com/fsa. However I've just added it to the dropdown.

Thanks :3

Good news:  The dodongo skip in 8-1 is finally somewhat consistent/possible.

Bad News: Doesn't save a "ton" of time, and is very risky.  Also, the strat only works on JP... lol. 

The basic reason why it works on this version is because this version let's you switch links if another grayed out link is falling.  In the US version, this is not possible.  E.g. In US if you throw purple link into a pit, you can't switch to red as the purple link is in the falling animation.  However, in the JP version you can even switch to purple link while he is falling.

Also, this consequence makes it so when you do formation hovers to the right, you can switch to red very easily, saving a few seconds since you don't have to wait for the falling animation.  Whereas in the US version this happened very rarely and usually was just because you got lucky with your inputs or something.  Anyway here is the video,
