A Hat in Time Speedrunning: Boop Clipping
The Boop emote is extremely broken, that's about all there is to it. Boop clipping abuses the animation cancelling abilities of the Boop emote to produce a "Falling Ledgegrab" state which can be abused to clip through walls and in rare cases zip up walls (not thoroughly investigated).
Simplest way to perform it on a given ledge + wall.
(At top) Jump -- Tap Back -- Use 'Boop' Emote -- Ledgegrab
While in the Falling Ledgegrab state: You cannot move or perform other actions besides either a jump, or a dive to cancel the state.
- If you attempt to clip too early (or the wall is very short), you will end up vaulting up instead of clipping.
The following cancels the state:
- Falling from a height high enough to give you the hard landing animation.
- Landing on another player
- Being attacked by another player
- Pressing Dive while in the state
At this time there are two known methods to move a player in this state.
Method 1 (Requires Coop): The player in the Falling Ledgegrab state has to land on a stack of 2 linked objects (ex. Beach Balls). The 2nd player can then pick up the bottom linked object and carry around both the objects and the player in the Falling Ledgegrab state. This allows you to adjust the angle and position of the player within reason.
Method 2: The player in the Falling Ledgegrab state has to land on a surface which can't be walked on, causing the tripping animation.
Best example of this is in The Lab Hatless Badgeless:
