Drogyga Skip is Literally Free - Metroid Dread DT Sliding Tutorial

"holy shit morgan you're an audio production student and your fucking mic sounds like that? ahahaha" honestly idk how i got this shit sounding so good last time
I deadass got so good at doing this while recording that every time I had to fuck it up intentionally for the sake of the tutorial i had to focus super hard to not do it correctly by mistake. that's how easy this is.

Damn, Drogyga really is just Dread's Sporespawn huh?

Tried this skip for *hours*, got it 2 minutes after watching this particular explanation. Good spot on the missing details in other how-tos!

[samuellacher]

“hey”

*motions you to come closer*

“its free dt sliding”

[JeffHochberg]

Thank you for your approach to teaching! This is exactly what I think the gaming world needs more of.

I work in the IT world. I’ve found there are two groups of people:

1. Those with knowledge who keep it to themselves thinking that, by not sharing it, it gives them the advantage

2. Those that have knowledge and are willing to share it.

Let me say from experience, in the real world, those that think keeping things to themselves gives them security…it doesn’t.

Sharing knowledge is power! And you sir - you just keep it classy! I love it!

I hope they don't patch this and any other good glitch, with this glitches, Dread is locking more and more like the real successor of Super.

Solid explanation. A lot of nuances in these tricks are just in runners heads and they can't figure out the parts that others are missing. Some of us look at it being done and it automatically clicks, so it's hard to explain. For diffusionless speed slidejump method, I had to play through the video at .25 speed and experiment a solid 5 times just to get it once, and heck if I can remember the details!

[Mr-Bop]

Thank you so much for explaining this better than every other person I've seen. I got it within seconds after watching this.

You just helped me do my first sequence break. Easiest subscription ever.

[TheMorbidOtaku]

That was the best tutorial I've seen for this trick. I was hopelessly stuck on the timing for the shot. Thanks!

[JCASHrip]

I was watching a speedrun, trying to beat the game in less than 4 hrs. Got stuck at this point and it left my head scratching. After about 5 or so videos, I stumbled across yours and by far, your video is the best and is the only one that helped me figure it out! Thanks so much!

I bet it's got something to do with how the arm cannon works. It originates from the barrel (unless it's a weird system), so if the barrel's inside the wall, the shot is inside the wall. There isn't collision between the walls because there's no reason *for* there to be after at first point. The "idle" or general walking/running anims probably have a little bit of IK work going on so her cannon comes out after the animations are complete, but the IK probably isn't actually active during the sliding and "spinning" animations, it was probably harder to work with and they decided that it probably wasn't necessary as things would move too fast to notice.

My hunch is the slide moves Samus just *slightly* into the wall from the momentum, and the spinning puts her arm cannon in the wall before the idle can take over and push her cannon out of the wall.



For those who don't know, IK in this instance is just a system that controls where the character's hands/feet can be, so they end up properly placed on top of collision rather than just phazing through it.

was just playing and this guide came in handy 2+ years later! thanks a bunch!! <3

I've noticed this problem in a lot of different fields especially in skateboarding, where everyone has this sort of default explanation that they talk about but that doesn't actually tell you about the important intricacies of whatever trick you're trying to learn. they definitely aren't doing it on purpose, but when someone comes through like you with such an excellent way of explaining things, it really is a game-changer. Thank you for this.

[algaealgaealgae]

Dude, thank you so much. I’ve been trying for so long but after watching your video got it in less than a minute. This helped a lot!

You get a subscription for equal parts charisma, concision, and information.

It's used to go get Cross Bombs after Gravity, enter Hanubia right away, and go downstairs to Ferenia that way. And then once you get Wave Beam you don't have to go in a big circle to get Cross Bomb later.

[legoworld]

Thank you. So. Freaking. Much. Spent half an hour trying to do this *once*, saw your tutorial, and managed to do it 4 times consistently, so much thanks.

[ianyboo]

As others have said I've been trying this for hours and this is the very first YouTube explanation that actually made sense, got it in just a few minutes after watching this Thank you so much!

[redbirdtribe]

I I figured it was somthing like this but having somebody exactly tell me how it works definitely saves me time on getting it exactly right every time thank u my guy
