Huge thanks to many of the speedrunners in this video for helping me fact check things + making this video possible! (Their channels are in the description) EDIT: apparently there is a weird long *beep* noise at 3:23. I can't remove it now since the video is uploaded, but I literally had to rewatch that section 20 times to hear it. Either I'm losing my hearing or my headphones are broken lol

Sadly you can't, they tried lots of methods during 2.2 but the jump was impossible. In the latest version though its barely possible to do the jump and it gets consistent with time
