Title: Double blue barrel group
Post by: LMDAVE on October 31, 2013, 10:12:06 am

I remember saying the other day in my stream if it was possible for 2 blue barrel to meet up together? For some reason I just never come across it or noticed it. I was figureing it would be a situation where the first blue barrel took the longest route and the second took the shortest. Well I finally "almost" came across it but I smashed them before they grouped:

The group has probably been seen by others. I just never noticed it before if it did. You can see they would have grouped up, not sure if it would have been tight enough for a backjump hammer grab had I not had the hammer already. Would love to see that highlight if someone comes across it.

Haha, pretty cool!

The first blue barrel didn't steer any ladder at all, and the 2nd blue barrel steered all the fastest ladders. I think that the 2 blue barrels would've formed a backjump-able combination. It would be awesome to see someone backjump 2 blue barrel while taking the bottom hammer!

 I know Mitch, LOL I let myself get in a tight situation because I was talking about what just happened...gotta stay focused!

Yeah Vince, I was actually even trying to steer the first blue barrel several times, it was intent on not responding. So if you were going to try and do it you would have to stand still (on level 5+) and hope the first blue follows the longest path, but then control the second blue without controlling the first blue's route.

Yeah this actually happened to me last month (2 blue barrels grouped).  Unfortunately I wasn't streaming because it was literally the 1st or 2nd day of me playing again.  Sometimes you can't even get 2 barrels on the screen at once, let alone on the same girder.   It just looked so strange that I noticed it without even looking for it.

I don't think I would have believed it without seeing it. That like never happens. Good clip, got to say that is pretty cool right there. Two blue barrel smashes in a row!
