If you can figure out the timing for telesyncs, you can figure out what height to shoot off the first wall and where to left wall jump to do it right on the first jump.

You'd think so, wouldn't you...

Some of the time I can get it no problem, but other times it takes several attempts.  I like that the map has multiple options for most jumps in any case.

In the first jump, if you just aim slightly further ahead on the left wall portion you'll clear the jump no problem.  I only need 2 rockets on the left wall, and a couple times I've gone past the start of the next jump.

Do what you want, but that looks way more difficult.  If you can figure out the timing for telesyncs, you can figure out what height to shoot off the first wall and where to left wall jump to do it right on the first jump.

I usually enjoy the fancy edits but what the fuck was that?  I didn't even get to see the jump in its full POV.

Like that dumb thing hanging from the ceiling after orbital #8 (?).

I have not known such frustration as having my best run yet and then spending 3 full minutes on the last fucking jump.

Better to get the synch in the transition of course.  But yeah, somehow that jump is one of the most annoying in the map if you miss it the first time.

If you miss syncing, a good ctap makes the jump a lot easier.  I usually get it on the first or second try.

imo the difficulty is fine, as long as the stages aren't getting more difficult by the same relative amount.

Void is quite the jump in difficulty. 

I'd say it's slightly more difficult than annex v2 blue side.

Void is beautiful, totally set up for speed runs.

I found some ways to get my time down, then I remembered this round doesn't count for points.  So meh.  1:45 is what I got.

I like 8, but it seems a little redundant to have two speedshot jumps back to back. 

What is 12 supposed to be?  Double to triple?

I assume this is unintended, but you can stand on this tiny overhang where the fail teleport layer doesn't reach.

Is it possible to create a script that does all the bindings itself?  Only thing in question would be the getpos command, since it involves copying a variable string.
