A boost momentum cancel (sometimes dead-weighting) is a physics exploit that, under the right circumstances, causes the user to be dived right down into the ground. It was discovered in a lengthy Reddit thread by user SwarmXDartz.
How to perform[ | ]
- Any animal that has 2 boosts.
- The ability to airboost.
- A large portion of air, not separated by a solid platform like an island.
Steps[ | ]
- Angle your cursor at a 45/135 degree (direction-dependent) angle while at the surface.
- Boost into the air.
- Quickly move your cursor to a 225/315 degree (again, direction-dependent) angle.
- Boost. This causes you to fall (or deadweight depending on who you speak to) downward with no horizontal movement at all.
Properties[ | ]
According to the poster, boost momentum cancelling if not angled at a downward angle opposite of where your fish is facing can jump you upwards, causing you to fall slower. Another property is that depending on how downward/upward you angle your cursor, you can either:
- Fall faster (if angled sharply downward)
- Jump higher (if angled sharply upward)
Utility[ | ]
Boost momentum cancels can be used to approach enemies better, as you can swoop down from the skies and potentially land a free hit. Characters like Orca can greatly benefit, as they have grabs among other unique stuff which enhances their approach abilities.
