  It honestly doesn’t seem like the barriers are designed to prevent skips, but maybe that they are just solid blocks with a clear mesh which prevents ink. Mostly pedantic but it’s a thought

  As a former WR holder in Any% watching this new skip blow the game wide open has been amazing. We have gotten so many new runners as well. Masaya is the goat and has brought this game back from the dead twice. People think Splatoon doesn&apos;t have a single player due to advertising. But it def does! And we have a great community too. Glad you are learning the Speedrun and giving Splatoon the long deserved mainstream attention it deserves. This is the premiere speedgame on the WiiU next to Wind Waker HD. I&apos;ll be sure to come by if you are learning! This category is the most fun, accessible, and least RNG heavy it has EVER been! Thank you LunaticJ for making this video.

  I&apos;m pretty sure the barriers are internally the same system as the spawn points in multiplayer. The barrier eating ink might therefore be a way to make sure no enemy ink can ever hit you while you&apos;re on that spawn point, the only completely safe area on the map.

  Speedrunning is such a funny community. <br><br>“I love playing this game!”<br>“I found a way that lets you play less of it”<br>“Awesome, I’ll do that immediately!”<br><br>(Love speedrunning, it’s just funny)

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZPny_EmWTQ&amp;t=310">5:10</a> I’m pretty sure that the inside is just a solid cube, which is why the burst bomb insta exploded and the ink still shot while not actually hitting anything. Also explains the camera shake

  <b>video ends on &quot;thanks for watching&quot;</b><br>But... but.. how am I supposed to remember to shoot for the moon, now? What if I shoot for the sun instead and get all burned up?!? I need guidance.

  I was waiting for someone to make a vid like this about this skip. As a runner of all 4 splatoon campaigns, It&apos;s surreal that this is even a thing and it&apos;s just incredible to see this big find come out of nowhere! Any% is now completely different than how it used to be and it&apos;s been awesome showing that off and running with this trick 8 years into splatoons life. Hopefully we&apos;ll get to see Lontr0 get this into AGDQ along with other people running this category in events coming up (ie. Me in Midfall Speedball and Claud running it in a marathon)

  I&apos;d heard of world 4 skip, but no one has talked about World 4 early! That&apos;s a massive skip, I still thought that Splatoon speedruns were at 40 minutes, not 20!

  I remember seeing the original world 4 skip when it was new and being amazed by it, that was the catalyst for making me curious in looking at games with curiosity over the hidden potential within them, and consequently my fascination with all the tricks used in the speedruns that I follow now.
