Uhhhhhhhhhh saved a lot of time in my speedrun, 1 and a half seconds to be exactly but to me uhhhhhhhhhh seems to be a lot of flaws since it cannot be buffed. But to me uhhhhhh is a great strat for newbies in terraria speedrun
Eric will join the ranks of Crazy Gadget Skip Skip, Obama Skip, Back-in-Time (which actually brings you FORWARD in time), Glitzer Popping, Yesclip, and The Turret Flippy Skippy Tricky Flingy Wingy Swingy Thingy
To be fair to the Back In Time glitch when it was first discovered and named it was actually sending you backwards. The way its used now sends you forwards but that wasn't known when it was discovered and named
i love speedrunning obscure games that barely anyone knows about cause whenever i find a cool trick i get to name it since i’m the first one to find it i could name the trick that lets you go through the first part of golden summit really fast “fast golden summit” but no i’m gonna name it “the dinner blaster”
An Eric is an Instaturn variant, also known as Lowjump Instas for Instaturning while DASHing. It preserves all of Peppino's horizontal speed turning left, making it the fastest possible method of turning from right to left*. To perform an Eric, while DASHing to the right, Grab or Fast Fall then Mach Cancel the frame you hit the ground. After a frame, High Jump to the left. Note that you can Eric from right to right, however it's only occasionally useful in niche cases. See: Tasmach Erics are extremely difficult to do consistently, so Erics are usually avoided and/or replaced with Instaturns. Erics have no known Buffers.
this is one of my favorite phenomena like ever. I unfortunately was too lame to name all the strats I found by a stupid name so they're all very descriptive
Lmao, thanks for featuring my highlight of one of my attempts to run this shit lmao Also, essentially i wanted to name this trick “the stanky leg” but nobody would budge with that 😢
Considering there is a different trick called stinky fart I am surprised nobody wanted to call it stanky leg. Fire name tbh. Oh well. Guess I’ll just have to gaslight everyone I meet into calling this a stanky leg instaturn.
I am obsessed with these terms. I have never played Pizza Tower, but this is the stuff I like. I remember recently learning Sonic Adventure's 2 "Opium Boyfriend Toaster."
Hey, there’s an Eric in Hollow Knight speedrunning too! If you fail one of the fireball skips in Greenpath there’s a backup, you can lure a squit (small flying enemy) up and pogo off it. Its name is Eric. We have some other named mobs too, like leaping husks are Jennifers for some reason, and Soul Warrior is Norman. And I think there’s a Harold, but I forget what he is.
speedrunners will find a frame perfect strat/movement/skip/whatever that is very pivotal for getting a wr and then name it "goobabmajiggletits" or some shit
Comical to think there’s some speedrun analysist out there narrating these. Like “so here he pulled an eric, and then there he pulled off a stinky fart, but I kid you not the highlight of this run is when he managed to pull off a cowabunginator 9000, effectively saving 5 minutes. This is revolutionary, the first of its kind to ever be produced, and will be framed as a milestone in the history of speedrunning forever.” In the most monotone (or amazed) tone you can conceive of.
I think what's funny is that of all the names in the world, the name for an instaturn being "Eric" is oddly fitting, like the sound a turntable makes when you pull it back real fast, E-RIC
imagine Bismuth covering this and goin over "he erics right there then pulls off a strategy nobody has seen before, the waluigi super mega sonic teenage warhead"
Its kinda like fgc terms. Like safejump make sense, its a safe way to jump in on your opponent off of a knockdown without getting wake up DP'd. But i know some people get caught off guard by "HE SO PRINGLES WHERE YOUR CURLY MUSTACHE AT!" In mvc2
hi from the yomi community where an old version of a niche tech is called "sao bernardo do campo" and another very relevant tech is called among other things "fart" and another one is called "mongolian ball detonation" there's another one that i can't write
Reminds me how the first major BRC strat is just called gooning because it was a joke in the discord before the game came out and we were like "Oh you hit the edge of the billboard and you go really fast? Youre edging? Gooning? Its gooning, we're calling it gooning"

I had no idea that was how the name originated, that’s funny as hell
Good old speed running communities.
I love how the vocals come in along the introduction of the name

this is exactly why you should let speedrunners name their tech because you end up with great names like

I love how after a while, everyone genuinely accepted the fact that that strat was called Eric.
I swear everytime I see something speedrun related, it's either a scandal or the funniest shit ever
I watched the whole thing. Eric is no longer a word to me
Of course it was the drug addicted cat pfp
rolls worst speedrun tech name; asked to stay permanently
wonderful that RUclips thinks this video is about the video game specifically called SpeedRunners

If I ever get to name a speedrun strat I'm gonna call it the "Don't use this it's really slow" strat.

extremely proud to be part of this. eric bros rise up

I use Erics in pizza tower a lot, so much so that I was able to learn on how to replicate it in the SAGE Demo
...no joke, I've done this before and it just didn't occur to me that it was significant enough to think of it as "tech"
Eric is the canon name for the strat
I love how half of the results are just people being like “why is it called eric”
