So you could put a lever above a falling platform. By the time the animation was finished, the platform would be gone, but Jack could still get in one last jump - from the lever.
You could also have strange scenarios where the lever could be mid-air and a moving platform could briefly pass it allowing Jack, if he's quick, to pull the lever, and still get in a jump because of the quirk - hopefully to safety.
Who reported this one, Vern? This was something I had initially used in MM II, then pulled out.I wouldn't be surprised if one or two custom mansions used this quirk.Update: Even if they do, it doesn't matter since this only applies to built-in mansions.
Hmm, okay I guess you are right -- these two scenarios would be affected a well. Not just gold/silver blocks.
Why? Because the game does NOT teach players how to do this, so no one should ever be expected to do it. No built-in mansions should ever require it, or have an advantage to doing it. Therefore, it should not be allowed.
This wasn't something I really expected an answer to, Vern. Also, it wasn't something I really cared for in built-ins. I was just trying to explain what I thought some exploits of the quirk were to Brell is all.
I was just mildly curious if someone reminded you of this, or if you remembered it from MM2, when I initially tried to use it in DDD Hard. It didn't bother me taking it out, and wouldn't have been used at all had I known not to use it. I'd just assumed incorrectly that because it was used so commonly in custom mansions then it would be OK.
Guess not!
