Like its predecessor, Prime 2 allows for the player to cover extra long horizontal distances using techniques that abuse the dashing mechanic. However, in Echoes there are two ways to gain extra horizontal distance through dashing instead of just one, both varying in difficulty. The standard method of dash jumping is easier, but way slower and less useful than that of Prime 1. The other method, known as extended dashing, allows you to get dash speeds that are similar to that of Prime 1, and is more versatile at the cost of being harder to execute, requiring more extensive training to do properly and consistently. Nonetheless, Dash Jumping is still an essential form of movement in Echoes speedrunning that has applications in numerous different areas of the game. | Like its predecessor, Prime 2 allows for the player to cover extra long horizontal distances using techniques that abuse the dashing mechanic.
