Simply Walk Around It Wall Hug Technique
Wall hugging is the core skill behind Level 2. You press your avatar against a side wall and move forward so your body slides through a one-stud gap without legs touching the kill brick.
Physics intuition
Roblox avatars are wider than a single stud when legs animate. A gap that looks one stud wide still fits because forward slide minimizes lateral swing. Wall hugging maximizes contact with the safe wall plane, constraining leg rotation away from the kill brick.
Think of hugging as creating a rail: the wall guides your movement vector. Without hugging, forward input rotates your character slightly, swinging legs into danger.
How to wall hug step by step
Stand flush against the safe wall beside the gap entrance. Align camera using comma or period on PC. Confirm shoulders parallel in third person.
Press W only. Maintain contact for the entire gap length. Release inputs immediately after exiting — continuing to hug can push you into the next hazard.
Debugging failed hugs
Instant death at entry means alignment error. Death mid-gap means leg swing or FPS stutter. Death at exit means you turned too early while still overlapping kill geometry.
Record clips and slow them down. Compare leg position frame before death versus successful Electracy footage.
Relation to meme mechanics
The walk-around meme jokes about trivial one-stud walls. Level 2 is the anti-joke: the wall system is still stud-based, but kill bricks punish imperfect hugs. Understanding stud width explains why the gap is possible yet brutal.
