Opinions Regarding Swag

Different statements to define swag.

  • It cannot save time if it's swag.
  • It has to look cool to be swag.
  • People have to go nuts in the chat: TriHard FrankerZ TriHard YOLO.
  • IT ONLY SAVES 3 SECONDS... -Carl "Granny" Sagan
  • "Secretly We Are Gay" -People who get annoyed on silly things.
  • RESET! NO ASS TOUNGE!
  • -bonus ..... TriiHarder

Simple Swag Techniques

Egg-aiming/running backwards demonstration
Version 1.0 Exclusive

Dry pumping

Pressing A without having any eggs will result in a false throwing animation. This increases the all-important APM until you have eggs to throw and juggle.

Running backwards

Yoshi can run forward while facing backwards if he's aiming an egg (also works without eggs but you have to keep pressing the A button). To do this, jump, tap left for 1 frame, start egg-aiming, then hold right. You can also hit the L and R buttons to stop the egg-aiming cursor at various points. This can actually save frames because it sets your velocity to 760 rather than 752 if you do it quickly.

For even more swag, jump, cancel egg-aiming and resume egg-aiming backwards again before landing.

Tonguing

Since releasing forward while tonguing mid-air doesn't slow you down, this can be used to increase APM. Tonguing in different directions increases swag levels significantly.

Music synchronizing

Tonguing, jumping or egg-aiming to the music may often result in a slightly higher swag level. Most common in auto-scrollers but still doable in other places as well.

Boo Guy Sniping

You need a pipe with Boo Guys to do this, so you can only do this in 6-5. If you tongue a Boo Guy while it's still in the pipe then spit it forward, it flies away at an upward angle instead of travelling in the normal downward curve like most enemies.

Advanced Swag

Room transitions

Similar to the pipe glitch. When entering a horizontal pipe or room transition, pressing down, Y, B, or A on the exact frame will make Yoshi do the first frame of the button's animation while in the transition. Unlike the pipe glitch, this does not save time. If done too early, time will be lost waiting for the animation to finish before being able to continue (Does not apply to A. Pressing A early makes Yoshi lose the egg being aimed).

Stompception

Sex stomp

If you ground pound while travelling up towards a door, you can save 2 frames if you get a 1st frame door entry. This is because you're entering the door during the ground pound animation rather than after landing and then entering.

Stompception

Stompception happens when you ground pound on moving objects such as chomp rocks, edges of moving platforms or sex stomp on beanstalk leaf platforms.

Off-screen ground pound

After killing Roger The Potted Ghost in 2-8, you have to quickly run to the left and ground pound off the screen. If you're lucky you will even get an off-screen key and the chat will spam Kreygasm. You can achieve even higher levels of swag by ground pounding early enough for Yoshi to clip through the bottom of the keyhole at the end of the animation. This also possible after killing Giant Baby Bowser.
Keep in mind this is 15 frames slower [1]

Blast Off

This glitch only occurs in 4-8.

If Yoshi ground pounds Hookbill before he lands on his back on the final hit of the fight, Yoshi will "blast off" into the sky. This glitch can save 1-2 seconds or cost up to 1 minute depending on the Blast-Off variation.

See blast off for more information.
