- What's up Jak and Daxter fans, Boomer here!
In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you everything I know about Boosted Uppercuts, a technique often used for Speedruns in the Jak Trilogy. Whether it be for the Any% or 100% category of the games or simply for casual playthroughs, this trick can come in handy in several spots around the entire series. So yes, this means it woks in all three main titles; Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II and Jak 3. Enjoy the video!

BOOMER. I JUST GOT THIS CRAZY GLITCH. THE GUARD ROOM DOESNT LOAD IN
Watch the fricken video!!! 😪
That's why I love you man. Cheers for your comment! ❤️
I thought there is no really big Jak and Daxter community. I always thought I am one of a few Jak and Daxter Players. Just found one. Thanks xD
There are plenty of people still enjoy Naughty Dog's best game series!
@@BoomerStreams Just tried the trick. Pretty cool :D
Glad to hear, enjoy messing with it!
@Base Bass Forte This mission is my favourite. I used to repeatetely play this one mission over and over again xD.
I knew Jak was a helicopter this whole time
The trick certainly makes him look like one!
The Jak games never get old.
Good games never get old! 👌
But never get newer. Rip Jak 4
No matter how many times I listen to the music for Sandover Village, it always brings back memories. It makes me want to go to CVS, get a dust mask, go into my closet, and dust of my PS2, which hasn’t been touched in roughly 5 years.
Also, does this have the same effect of roll jump, and then a spin? Scientific purposes.
When I was 3 my first word was Jak and daxter. I used to say "Dak and Daxter" it will always will be my favorite series.
That's cute!
Thanks!
A very well edited and pieced together video - Clearly one of your best works Boomer! Keep it up!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Just started playing through Jak 1 for the first time recently, and I fell in love with the game's movement after discovering roll jumps and exploiting them to clear massive gaps and travel long distances with ease. Now I stumble across this, and it makes me love the game's movement tech even more. All the ways you can traverse the maps feels so expressive and freeing. It always feels like there's multiple solutions to any problem in Jak.
Dude, I literally platinumed the whole trilogy like a week ago and now you make this video, still an amazing video!!
Thank you very much!
I started working on this a few weeks back. You either have to be slower with your Playthrough or I have to be faster with my editing. 😅
Dude. That was edited amazingly. Props to you for putting in the effort to make this video as concise as possible. Keep up the good work man! ❤️
Thank you so much my friend, much appreciated! ❤️
Ik the lil TPL Montage towards the end felt like trailer footage
It's so easy when someone explain it the way you did. This video is a really well done tutorial. Must have been a lot of work. Thank you for your great work!
Your tutorials are such a breath of fresh air. I finally figured out the jetboard hover glitch thanks to your tutorial, and I'm getting a lot more consistent with it. This one's next on my agenda. Thank you for making these!
I just noticed Naughty Dog is one of very few companies that can make 3 or more games from the same series and their all amazing. (Specifically referring to Jak and Daxter and Uncharted.)
I love messing around with stuff like this, good video.
Thank you my friend, much appreciated! 😊
Beat the trilogy and never thought about this, lol. I always liked the uppercut because it looked effective.
It indeed is a pretty useful technique. Glad to hear you tested it out already!
Just found this video and really glad I did! Definitely gonna go try the trick, and master it!
Go Kye, go! 👏
finally learned this trick thx Boomer
No Problem, I'm glad I could be of help! 😊
@@BoomerStreams ok boomer
Insanely informative and quality content, man. Keep up the great work!!! You make it look easy!!!
Instant subscribe from me and I don't even run Jak 😂
Thank you so much! ❤️
Just wanted to say, I love the camera swoops and 'cinematic angles' that I've never seen!
'debug mode' I'm guessing?
Super kwl stuff! haha
Also messing around with this trick has really opened these games up for me again, it's been great fun and really satisfying when you start getting more consistent. (I highly appreciated your Jak 2 hover tutorial also, still having a bit of trouble with that one though XD)
A place I like to use is Sentinel beach can access the orbs on the blue eco pillars (after doing the neat little climb trick up the cannon tower) without the need to go to Forbidden Jungle first.
-Noticed a few spots in Snowy Mountain and Spider Cave that are useful too on a recent playthrough.
Anyway, love the content broseph, great stuff- keep being you!
Yeah, Debug Mode made all of it possible. It really shows some shots/angles you never get to see during casual play and yet perfectly describes the area that's being talked about.
The hover definitely is a trick that takes time. It's easy to learn, but hard to master!
Oh yeah, that's certainly a spot where you can make use of Boosted Uppercuts. That's actually what the 100% Speedrun of TPL does! Like I mentioned in the video, I can't cover all the spots where they're useful, as it would make the video endlessly long.
Thank you so much for your feedback and sharing your experiences! ❤️
Awesome video boomer! Might have to go back into the trilogy just to try this!
Definitely do, it's a lot of fun messing around with this trick!
Really nice video man, gj boomy
Thank you Senydro!
Ahhh sweet I never knew this thanks for the video
At the end of mountain pass and before the first bridge at volcanic crater there's a gap where you can practice that kinda leads to the oracle.
It took me about an hour, but I can actually do it now with some level of consistency. When I was growing up I played the game but didn't uppercut basically ever, so this is weirdly new for me lol. But this helped explain it a lot, I don't plan on speed running, by old man hands can't keep up anymore.
You forgot to say that square/punch is diffrent depending on if you hold or tap it. But still great guide to boosted uppercuts.
Bro thanks this comment actually fucking helped me get the length.
Woah, this made a huge difference.
Thank you for a good video
Very entertaining. Jak is my favorite
Finally I can live my dream of being an attack helicopter.
++
Don't let your dreams be memes!
Great video Boomer!
Thank you Matthew, much appreciated!
Really awesome video!
Thank you Triple Point!
Plays on an PS4 but puts a xbox achievement sounds. LUL
That's something I thought about actually, but I believe Xbox achievements are a bit more iconic compared to Playstation's. So I did go with Xbox here.
lul means dick in dutch.
Interesting... 😅
Ratchetpower2 woah man I didn’t mean that. Lel.
My fiance is Dutch so that's how I know and now you know XD
Here's a tip if you ever struggle with this move in jak 2 or 3, using a gun is very useful and helped me get the right angle on edges (When you get to the right angle, jak's gun points downwards) so using a laser sight is very useful (like the yellow or blu guns)
This is answering my question thanks boomer
You're welcome, hope you enjoyed the video!
thx boomer I really liked the editing in this vid to 👌
Thank you! That's probably what took the most amount of time when making this video.
I didn't know this, thank you!!!
No problem! 😎
LIKED!
Awesoms video. Thanks for that!
No problem, I hope you've learned something!
@@BoomerStreams oh yes I did:)!
This is a really cool video ! I hope you will make more "tutorials" !
Most definitely will. Thank you!
Deadass been playing since the game and never done this before
Tried it in Sentinel Beach, got it literally first try and then I was never able to do it again. rip
Edit: Nevermind, I got it. What helps me do it consistently is to very quickly roll my thumb from Square to Cross, and then delay the Circle press by a split second.
Took me almost 10 min to do this. Cool👌
Yeah, the trick isn't that hard. Congratulations on getting it though!
Neat trick. Didn't take too long to get down. I'm coming for you, eco freak!
Dude I've been trying to do this for the past 2 days and I still can't seem to get that crazy forward momentum that launches you to the other side the only thing I get is a crazy vertical boost
Hey dude i know it's been a year and all but i had this same problem and i just foynd out how to solve it
Turns out if you have the crazy upwards momentum it means your timing is right. The only thing you need to do to get the forward momentum is to press X REALLY early. Like square and x almost at the same time. Hope this helps
@@youcefkiari9665 This tip let me get this jump for the first time after 2 hours of straight grinding. Thanks so much for it! However, I have no clue as to how people do this consistently. Probably tried the jump on sentinel beach 400+ times and got it once... just once. I get the crazy height every time but that forward momentum is so inconsistent for me :(
@@jonathanbezeau4413 Hmm okay so the way i get it (like one time out of three) is that i let my thumb slide from the square button to the x button as fast as i can (it hurts a little bit)
I trained this movement alone until my hand "memorised" it and now if i want the boosted jump i only focus on the timing and i let my muscular memory get the rest about right
If you have a soulcalibur game, there are attacks that rely on this kind of "press one button right after the other" kind of thing, with a really strict timing : training them may help you get used to the timing
Anyways good luck buddy
My MAN. Fantastic tutorial 👀👌🏽
Thanks Josh, much appreciated!
so without slow walk its straight up impossible to do the super far one? or is it possible with ultra instinct?
Best game ever and I agree everyone that plays this game should know this I have been playing since 2002 and still love it
They really are good games. If you haven't played this yet, totally should!
I'm re-playing the trilogy and i have just started Jak 3. That's a very usefull trick, but i prefer making things the way they where supposed to be done.
Hey, there's no problem with that. You do you! 😊👌
Can you jump further using this than with a roll + spin though?
edit: I watched the whole thing and it seems that yeah; you can get further than even a perfect roll from the very edge.
10/10 vid man
You da man boomer
Thank you!
Hey, boomer, when are you going to stream?
Spider caves make me cry
I can not glitch the wall on mountain pass I've been trying for 30 minutes and nothing and I dont think it's because I am playing on PS3
thanks, helped for getting oxitocin from reaching checkpoints faster... dont think its a good thing or not thou
Trying this on keyboard in OpenGoal right now
I'd call it the "Beyblade Rip!"
Maybe but im bad but the jak 2 prison skip might be impossible on the pcsx2 emulator. Looks like yours but jak doesnt grab the ledge. edit: got it after making post lol. 15 seconds after.
7:34 I have tried that shortcut myself without zooming in with the cam. When you do a boosted directly at the edge and towards the elevator you land at the bottom of the elevator. No dying and no loading screen. I was able to continue playing normally without loading bugs. I got that multiple times. Wouldnt that be faster? If you want me to, i can upload a video of it on my channel.
It found that to be slower by a little bit. Also, there are times where the next area doesn't load in at all, which makes it a bit of a risk going for your suggested method. In the end, go for whatever works best for you!
What’s the difference between extended uppercuts and boosted uppercuts? And why would you ever do extended when you can do boosted instead?
I waiting for this tutorial
Was it worth the wait?
Yes
Glad to hear!
Before I watch the video, just wanted to quickly ask whether you'd be streaming tomorrow. :D
On YT, of course.
I ended up not streaming. Sorry about that, I think I need to communicate more about that type of stuff...
Hey boomer I have a problem, in the mountain pass after the boosted uppercuts, how can I jump higher to get the poder cell? Thanks for the video
You need specific timing and placement for your highjump spin. Try to copy what I do in the video and it should work!
@@BoomerStreams yes, I copy it and works, thank you again!
No problem!
How do you do this effect in 0:52? I really wanna learn that. Is there a name for this editing effect?
Can't speak for the name of the effect, but to do it you duplicate the video layer and have them play simultaneously. The top layer is scaled down to 80 or 90% whereas the bottom layer is left at 100% scale with a blur effect added. The same thing is done with vertical phone videos to fill out the screen. Can't speak for the shadowing effect on the bottom and right sides, but the rest is easy.
Thanks Boomer.
You're very welcome!
Still don't get it in jak 1 :/ I only get the high uppercut boost
Very well made video my dude. Although i keep getting this glitch where the room doesn't spawn in after the boosted during Escape?
... 🤨
Thank you Ruh! This tooks weeks to edit and I'm really glad everyone is enjoying the video.
You have to land on the left side of the control panel or it wont load
This man gets it! 😉👌
Haha everything that is Jak related I have to know get or it will drive me crazy... big fan of the game and you great work so far my man, keep strong💪😉👌
Thanks a lot! More videos are coming soon.
👍🏻
hello I would like you to do a tutorial to make a speddrun of the jak 2 lla I can get to the sea tomb in about 3 minutes but not what I have to take after :v
sime alludas you agradeseria crak :D
lugemer :v
With that last sentence, were you trying to speak Spanish? Boomer doesn’t speak Spanish. But if you feel more comfortable speaking Spanish and still want help with this, I would gladly help.
@@Alberto_Yo hello that such thanks for the offer but no thanks but I have to tell you something everything I write to you in English I put the translator into Spanish into English so I write in :
the comments because English does not speak or write
lugemer :v
Uhhh ok
Alberto knows Spanish, I'm sure he can help you!
It works but most times, the height is good but the distance isn’t great at least for me.
Try to space out your inputs a bit more, like suggested at the end of the video!
I wanna know how you play with a ps4 controller on jak and daxter unless it's not the ds4 controller cuz my ps4 controller toggle only worked on the game. Then again I'm playing on a ps3 n had no idea it was released on ps4
I just play on PS4 using a DS4 controller.
@@BoomerStreams I conpletwly forgot it dropped on ps4 I use my ps3 now more than the 4.
How come? Are there not any good games you want to play?
@@BoomerStreams when I was 14 I used to play a lot of games to cope with not being able to physically let out my anger (abusive step dad) but lately going to school and taking care of my roommates 3 year old jak&Daxter gives good childhood nostalgia and even got the kid to play. Granted she broke one controller but she still tries lol
So I’ve been practicing this and what keeps happening is I keep going straight up instead of forward. Can I have a tip please?
Sounds like you're not falling down yet before you do the uppercut inputs. Try letting Jak fall for just a little bit more, that should get it.
@@BoomerStreams thanks. I practiced a bit after finding some good spots to practice on geyser rock
I feel like I am doing exactly what you are but just cant get any distance on it. Ugh
More practice!
I already know how to do this technique. Not as hard as it looks. I used it in Jak 2 when in Haven Temple. Nearly died doing it.
There's always a chance you die when performing the trick, especially when doing it from where a bottomless pit is underneath.
@@BoomerStreams
True. But I used it during the falling bolder part of the Haven Temple level. I even used it in Jak 3 when getting orbs on high ledges.
Is the trick at 8:47 available on ps4?
Yes, it just takes some practice.
I can only get height not length :((
Two hours in, still not getting it.. 😮💨
This is a glitch or a intentional movement combination made by naughty dog?
No, this does not seem intentional.
I have been trying for more than anhour... can't do it
Try harder, everyone can do it!
Anyone have the ps4 version? Did they ever fix the game???
I own it... They haven't patched a single thing for roughly a year now.
It is really that easy or is just that you speedrunners make look everything easy when in actually it really isn't?
Can't wait to try it out btw.
I think it's both? Most things aren't as hard as they look at first. We do have a lot of practice in what we do, so it's only bound to look easy. Enjoy messing about with this!
There's another way to get the crazy glitch Boomer.
Tell me all about it!
Wenn ich ein neuen ps2 controller hab zock ich auf wieder jak and daxter
Klingt gut, mach das! 👀👌
does it work in Jak X?
No, but in Jak 1 through 3.
@@BoomerStreams somehow i was thinking it doesn't work
No worries, all good!
@Ramon Sauls yes
Ok Boomer
Coudlnt help myself
Guys, look! We have a comedy genius over here. 🤔
@@BoomerStreams Indeed, proper comedian in the making
3:45 that's actually called a Boomer High Jump
The one and only way to call it. 😎👌
You can make french subtitle please 😕
I don't know any french, sadly...
Are you fucking saying "boosted's" or "Boost-It's"
you could convince someone of both
Two words. Debug mode
4 words. Not allowed in speedruns.
@@BoomerStreams any% debug mode be like:
Or you know - just don't cheat and play the game as it was intended.
it is an devolper intended feature. lmfao its not cheating, cheating is debug mode even though it in the game by default
@@Sus3214 Tell me again how reaching those ledges from long distances, bypassing the intended route is an intended feature?
@@mkaali well, if its an 'cheat' then why did thd devs add it?
@@Sus3214 Not all features are added intentionally.
@@mkaali obviously lol, but its confirmed that it is devolper intended @ Naughty Dog.
