    It's so brutal how SS has all these amazing possibilities for massive time saves but they are all just barely out of reach. It's almost like Nintendo knows, and does it on purpose lol!

      I love how it basically took programming to actually advance Skyward Sword speedrunning to a much shorter time by literally being able to skip all those problems. That’s how unintentionally thorough they were in making Skyward Sword.

    • @azer67
      @azer67 2 года назад +4

      Technically you can unlock the door by starting the Horde fight in boss rush and then dying. So it all works fine, it's just an extra step compared to what's shown in the video.
      I think another way this could all work is if we can open the OoB Behind the Temple Door in Hylia's Temple, which warps us to the Horde cutscene (with a forced layer 13 load). If you haven't watched the cutscene yet you can just skip it and get to the final boss gauntlet. But at this point it has nothing to do with the statue anymore and this is a different elusive glitch I guess.

    in most instances where a barrier clip exists, reaching the statue should in turn provide the same technique to escape it.
    Theory: on a completed save (or one just before the final boss), use loftwing amibo to register a return point right next to the statue in question, load file that will execute the skip and use amibo return point that is still registered as right next to the final bird statue. Assuming it works, it skips pretty much the entirety of the game if it can bypass flags, then it is just a matter of finding a way back into the hoard or girahim fight if the barrier remains.

    • @skiller5034
      @skiller5034 2 года назад +1

      Unlikely, the clipping corner is probably weak because the collision changes state between the first phase of the Horde fight and when you enter the central arena. The only other option would be to perfectly manipulate a Moblin to allow jumping over, like it's done with Horde skip, but it would be TAS only, and it doesn't really help since we're trying to get to it from the Ghirahim fight, and unless some way to cancel voidouts is discovered, it's only possible on Phase 2, which starts on the ground and with no way to gain height, unless new glitches are found.
      One sorta promising idea I just had, which would be just another Elusive Glitch to add to the list, is to somehow trick the game into thinking we're into an Imprisoned fight while we're in the Ghirahim 3 fight, activating the center upcurrent.

      The entire inner edge of the spiral is walled off. If a jump slash doesn't work at the bottom, it will not work at the top either.
      That said, I seem to recall a minor skip that involved running up a moblin's shield to clear one of the checkpoints. Perhaps a moblin can be kited above the bird statue, enabling the player to clear the wall and crash down in that area. The problem then is escaping afterward, which would require a bitwarp if the player's only means of gaining altitude were left halfway up the slope.
