How to Slide-Ultrahop!

In this guide i will show you a very fun and usefull technique that will allow you to go further and higher than any bunny has gone before!

Basics.

⚠️ Before we start, here is an update!: Apparently, you can perform the Slide-Ultrahop without Solar Wind, and actually, its easier to do if you dont pick Solar Wind, but i dont know if i recommend ignoring Solar Wind since is a very useful ability.

Just keep in mind this guide is about the slide + solar wind + sideflip variant of this movement, while the other variant is the exact same, but ignoring the solar wind ability, that means you perform the Slide-Ultrahop by just sliding + doing a sideflip. If you dont understand what this means, just keep reading!

First of all, you will need the Slide and Solar wind abilities

Both of these can be found very early in the game, and are fairly useful by themselves. They allow you to dash short distances and also jumping while dashing, which is fantastic since you can keep your momentum and leap very long distances

Now, you need to learn how to do a Side Flip

It works exactly like the Side Flip in Mario 64: its a harder to control jump but its much higher than the regular jump.

Here is a quick explanation of how it works:

• 1- You need to be moving in one direction
  
• 2- You you need to move your stick in the oposite direction and press jump quickly
  
• 2.1- For some people it might easier to make a semicircle with the stick really fast
  
• 3- That's it, you just performed a side flip!

Here is a video in case you need help understanding how to perform the side flip:

Performing a Slide-Ultrahop

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This is an extremely powerful movement technique that can help you move around in the Pseudoregalia world, but it can also make you go to places you were not supossed to go early in the game, that means you might softlock yourself out of progressing if you cant make it back to a previous save or room, so be careful when saving!.

Here is the fun part, you just watched a guide on how to slide jump and sideflip, now its the turn to put everything together and perform a Slide-Ultrahop.

• 1- Start by Slide Jumping
  
• 2- AS SOON AS YOU TOUCH THE FLOOR perform a Side Flip. This is the tricky part since most times while slide jumping you will be pressing the stick in a direction, this means that as soon as you touch the floor you have to press the opposite direction and then go back to the original direction AND JUMP.
  
• 2.2- ⚠️Check Lily Arlatto's comment about how to perform it consistently, it might help you!.
  
• 2.2- ⚠️EDIT: There are multiple ways to perform a sideflip in this situation, its better if you experiment by yourself. With enough practice you can jump in any direction you want; The easier variant is just pressing back after touching the ground and then jumping, but that will send your ultrahop backwards.

Here is a video of how to do it:

Notes:

• I personally prefer to spin the controller stick to perform the Slide-Ultrahop, i find it easier than pressing forward-back-forward.
  
• Sometimes you might not perform a true Slide-Ultrahop but a less powerful and less flashy version of the movement, which is sill very useful and easier to do. In my video i do a few of these on purpose at the end of the video, you can tell the difference because the character doesnt flash yellow, you could say is a pseudo-ultrahop :) .

Practical uses:

If you dominate the Slide-ultrahop you can use it basically everywhere in Pseudoregalia, but i have one example where it saved me from restarting the entire game:

I was stuck here for hours, i reached a part of the game where i shouldn't be, i was unable to go forward nor go back and i was thinking of deleting my save and starting from the beginning, then after hours of trying i finally did this:

Glad to see so many people still commenting in this guide i made, hope it helped some of you and thanks to everyone that gave extra info an tips in the comments.

Also clarification; I can do back ultra actually very easily since you dont have to flick the stick two ways, it's forward that I'm learning to nail consitently.

Practice on the underkeep time trial!!! That helped me SOOOO much! I use a backwards ultrahop after hitting the crystal to get to the roof of that little cage, and then I set up an ultrahop from the corner of that roof (I've seen a video of someone doing a double ultra, which is insanity, link below). So yeah, don't give up! You've got this!

I can get this semi consistently now and I feel like a GOD

The key really is patience. The timing window isnt as hard as you think it is, it's riiiight before the feet land.

It helps to have high framerate I think! I have a 144hz monitor, so many that's why I picked up on it so fast?

I've been at this for 2 hours now and and still only going backwards or sideways,

I may have missed this information, but for me Ultrahops without the slide jump perk seem to require two jump inputs, one to "interrupt" the slide and one to actually perform the jump
Slide
Jump
( You can press jump + slide simultaneously, its easier for my muscle memory and no downside)
towards the end of the slide press
Jump + Backwards input

To go forwards relatively consistently instead:
Slide (you can also additionally press jump here, it will not matter if you press once too many)
towards the end of the slide press
Jump + Backwards Input
Jump + Forwards Input

Hope this helps someone :)

@Goras147, it's almost impossible on keynoard, however check this guy had written an Ultrahop script: https://youtu.be/HNQA7qSefnk

I feel it's so wonky on keyboard. I can do somewhat regularly the blue-afterimage forward one, but the actual Slide Ultrahop forwards is so much more...random? There must a perfect frame-to-frame input or it doesn't happen. I did get MUCH better at it, but still manage to do some of these backwards. Training pays off.

i'm willing to accept im just bad at it, but no matter what i cannot seem to launch *forwards*, only backwards

[porto]

does this no longer launch you forward?

playing on a keyboard can get 100% consistency but youre sacrificing the precise movement adjustments of a controller
