Hello friends. I just wanted to make a thread here to share with everyone one of the most unique glitches in this game we all love. Hugging the corner of a building or structure allows you to survive when falling would normally kill you. This creates some fun challenges since it allows you to get down from very high places alive.

Here's the tutorial I made, where I share all my knowledge about this strange glitch and how to do it:

Here's a fun one, where I do 3 very long rides down from the tall towers of Metropolis:

In this vid, I get all the way back to the normal part of the map from the top of the big building with blinking lights. I use the rocket launcher to blast myself to the next building twice. This one was tough, many rides without being able to make a mistake:

A practice run, where I get down from the tall light tower with a detour on the scarab gun bridge:

Here's a cool simple trick, where I sword fly to a building on Outskirts near the beach and do a backwards ride to get on the roof:

"Magic Corner Rides". This is where I put it all out there and pull off the most challenging rides I could think of:

I have a few more videos in my collection but this is plenty for you guys to absorb. I hope you find it fun and inspiring to watch. I had a lot of fun doing these challenging rides, it's been quite a journey.

Corner rides are weird. I think I have accomplished a corner ride only 4 times. But it beats my old techniques (the non-existent ones).

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

moving back and forth/side to side resets the fall timer? interesting, never knew that. thanks Dr Bizz, nice videos

Hey doc, is there such a thing as an inverse corner ride?

There's a location high above the bridge on Great Journey that I want to try out but it's not a corner.

Not to mention how the cp system is so sinister. Often, I think it has a mind of it's own.

My CS SLASO segment attempt, thwarted because I never got a cp after the first hangar.

My Councilors army, I have to spend hours getting those Elites again because there are no cps at the Tartarus boss battle.

All my work in H3. Never satisfactory but I'm too afraid of wasting my time again only for the cp system to -blam!- up on me again.

So I can understand how the cp system must be a hindrance for your setups.

As far as your "inverse corner ride" question, I have never been able to survive on anything besides a 90 degree corner or something close to it. If it's slightly more obtuse (wider) like say 100 degrees you can survive but just barely and you usually die pretty fast.

The checkpoint stuff can be frustrating, yes. However, I should explain how to get a checkpoint anywhere you need on Metropolis for the corner riding stuff:

Once you get the banshee through to the last map, fight until you destroy the first wraith. You'll go through a tunnel and reach a fountain/waterfall thing. After passing through this area you'll get a CP and the battle in the street loads. At this point, you can fly anywhere and you have several minutes to get setup for a CP that ALWAYS comes regardless of what happens with the AI in the battle.

If lack of checkpoints are ruining your SLASO attempts, I can only offer my thoughts which you might already know. Jumping and the melee attack delay or completely stop a checkpoint from happening. I guess try to avoid doing either unnecessarily.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

This is interesting; I'll give it a go sometime.
