Technical
Discovery
The discovery of Lava Tube Skip was a collaborative effort by Kuitar , blahpy , headstrong , Bobbykaze , and Grig.
Other Notes
This method of Lava Tube Skip has never been completed in one go without save states. (January 22, 2016)
Grig found the first RTA setup for the scoutfly boosted, which would later be used in runs using Lava Tube Skip v2.5.
Two days before this first WR, on June 21, 2016, headstrong was the first to fully complete the out of bounds ledge grabs in real time. The use of an idle deload in the skip (what is referred to as v2) was not put forward until June 23, 2016, when headstrong & Kuitar raced to see who could complete a run with Lava Tube Skip v2, using the ledge-grabs from v1 and the new Idle Deload. On that day, headstrong became the first to finish a run with Lava Tube Skip v2 (1h51m15s) and first to get a WR with the skip (37m43s), while Kuitar also completed a run with the skip.
Bobbykaze replaced the out of bounds ledge grabs used in Lava Tube Skip v2 with the scoutfly boosted setup that Grig had found, completing the first WR with Lava Tube Skip v2.5 in 28:20.
