Damage clip

Revision as of 21:15, 6 April 2024 by Grady (talk | contribs) (Added categories)

A damage clip is a type of skew clip discovered by glitch hunter Syrkl[1] that involves attaining skew at the moment Mario takes damage, so that the damage animation forces Mario upright at the position of his feet, thus forcing him partially through an adjacent wall or ceiling.

Execution

The execution for a damage clip is similar to that of moon clips, although damage clips are more often performed with a two-player vault. This is because two-player vaults allow the player to attain skew lower to the ground, where most damage sources are located, while not being nearly as difficult as clipping with the skew induced from a roll followed by a long jump. Analogously to any other type of skew clip, the player must cap throw while Mario is rotated at nearly 90 degrees and then immediately take damage.

Uses

The following is a list of instances where damage clips are useful:
