If I can break up a few hundred posts of barrier skip discussion...
I'm nearing the end (so, so close) of my 100% speedrun, but I've having some difficulty getting the trials skip to work consistently. I've managed to clip all the way OoB twice (in addition to several times where I got partway into the wall), although I was caught off guard both times, so I fell too far to get into the loading zone behind the big door. It really doesn't seem like that tough of a trick, but for an hour or two now I haven't been able to get back OoB.
Any tips? Advice? Should I be trying to move fast? Does the game realize what I'm trying to do if I wait too long hanging from the ledge? Do any particular camera angles help? Is it still random/luck-based at the end of it all, or should the trick be working 100% of the time if I do everything right?
Anything at all is appreciated.
I'm assuming you're using the bomb method. In the case of this particular ledge, it's pretty much all about the timing of when you press the stick to move toward the bomb after grabbing the ledge. When you grab the edge out of the leaf you should notice he does an animation to hang on. The timing you want is toward the end of that animation before he hangs idly. Here's a reference with pausing
