Direction Shift Boosted and Fast Swim: Difference between pages

Revision as of 06:48, 20 September 2023

Fast swimming is a technique that allows Jak to swim faster than usual. It is performed by tapping the analog stick forward and allowing it to return to neutral in a regular rhythm.

Fast swimming can be performed in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II: Renegade, and Jak 3.

Technical

Jak's swimming animation consists of a section where he moves fast, followed by a section in which he moves more slowly. By repeatedly tapping the analog stick forward and allowing it to return to neutral, only the first part of the animation is completed, allowing the player to use only the fast part of the animation repeatedly without the slow part being used.

Discovery

The earliest mention of fast swimming in Jak and Daxter dates back to December 11, 2001, in an article published on Cheatcc.com. It is not currently known how or by whom this technique was discovered.

-A '''direction shift boosted''' is when the direction of a boosted is changed when falling off a ledge. The directional change occurs before the punch-uppercut inputs and before Jak enters his falling animation. The technique is most commonly used to perform a mandatory [[Scoutfly Boosted]] during [[Lava Tube Skip]], but it is also optionally utilized by speedrunners in other areas of the game.

-Simply move the left analog stick in any direction once Jak has slow-walked off a ledge. Then, proceed with normal boosted uppercut inputs.
