# Ninja Gaiden:Ragebound Speedrun note

>[!NOTE] Things You Should Know Before Speedrunning
>1. Jump Height:
The height of the roll jump and the regular jump are different in this game.
When holding the jump button for the same duration, the roll jump height will be lower than a regular standing jump.

>
>2. Air flip i-frames:
Performing a air flip immediately upon landing provides a brief period of invincibility (i-frames), which can be used to dodge terrain damage.
If you quickly input Jump(air flip) => Roll when landing, the game's input buffer will automatically chain the landing roll and the subsequent roll action together, resulting in a longer duration of invincibility.

>
>3. Slanted Ceiling Slide:
The beginning of Level 1-1 requires the use of a bug where you grab a platform and jump upwards along a slanted surface.
This bug is affected by the game's V-Sync (Vertical Synchronization) setting, so please ensure V-Sync is turned off.
>
>4. Restarting the Game:
It is recommended to restart the game before each run.
This game stores many behaviors in memory without properly releasing them, which can lead to various bugs or unexpected behavior patterns.
>
>5. Double HC attack
>When you have HC aura, pressing the throw/attack button at the same time will release two HC attacks at the same time

## Prologue:

First Cliff Climb:
Align with the platform's edge and jump forward in the red-boxed area to precisely grab the platform above.

Second Cliff Climb:
Climb just past this patch of grass, and a little further up, then jump in the opposite direction to land exactly on the platform.

Room Fight:
You need to drop vertically here. Only move right after you have crossed the red line. Otherwise, you will trigger a waiting animation.

### Boss fight:

Final Blow: Defeat the Boss before it starts breathing fire.
