A short video showcasing and explaining most advanced techniques I know of for Vanquish. Bare-bones video editing wise but I hope it's useful or entertaining for someone.

oreo311 has a nice tutorial for some intermediate level techniques not shown here (boost dodge, smoke behaviour, etc.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCC_YpoEugg

Most of the things that I found were as a result of routing a speedrun for the game. Thanks to everyone who supported me on that. I might make another tutorial if more tech is found. All recordings here are from the PAL Xbox 360 version.
