I'm attempting to do a speedrun for Megaman 2 (non tool assisted), and I've found a lot of the techniques discussed here and in the movies to be very helpful. Most aren't possible in real time, but quite a few seem to be. I have a question regarding vertical warping, as it is not explained fully in the game tricks page.
I am able to perform the vertical warping trick consistently in real time only under certain circumstances. It seems I can only get the trick to work when Megaman enters the ceiling left of the ladder, and is facing right. For illustration,
here is what I mean. (.mp4 h.264 video, AAC audio)
However, it seems that in the majority of the places this would be useful, megaman must enter the ceiling to the right of the ladder, and in the TAS runs, is facing to the left. I cannot seem to get the trick to work under such circumstances.
If anybody could provide more detail on how this trick works and what needs to be in place to accomplish it, I would be very grateful.
