Selfboosting

Selfboost is a tactic that enables players to get to a considerable altitude in the air. The selfboosting technique is very effective in overcoming high obstacles. A player can only selfboost by switching to swords (it is impossible without swords, but unarmed players can use flying). To selfboost a player must run, jump and then press and tap X in midair.

Tips

 * This enables you to jump over very long gaps and chasms without dying, as the horizontal position pads your landing.
 * Selfboosting requires decent game perfomance. If you are experiencing major FPS reduction (like if the game rarely hits 10 FPS), you will not be able to boost properly, and you will instead fall back to the ground abruptly before being able to go into the air.

Trivia

 * Selfboosting will be added to Plazma Burst 2.5 as an intended feature.
 * Selfboosting was temporarily removed from Plazma Burst 2 as part of version 1.28 after a Twitter poll showed that the majority of players wanted universal physics settings. It was added back quickly due to community backlash.
 * Prior to this update, selfboosting without low physics and FPS was much more difficult.
