Speeding to the Reactor (and Meltdown Badge)

I like Super Speed, and on most of my characters only choose to have a single travel power. I scoff at the 'must have vertical!' claims, having fully explored all of the 'must have vertical!' zones and not getting in trouble.

One of the big things people will say to convince someone to get a vertical travel power is getting to the Terra Volta reactor. I made a little demo of a Speedster getting there, and then a further video (spliced onto the end) of same Speedster getting the Meltdown badge on the top of the reactor, as I've seen nobody ever explain how to get it. (

Sadly, getting to Meltdown requires Hurdle and Swift with SOs, as it is a very, very close jump and I have to stand on a specific spot and try several times to get up there at level 26ish. I focus in on my feet at that point in the video so you can see the spot as well, but it still requires tries. Getting to the Reactor might require Hurdle for the jumping-up-pipes sequence...I always take Hurdle, so I can't test to see.

.cohdemo version, 207.91 KB
.avi version, 5.33 MB, an XviD codec if the above doesn't work

They're both zipped up. Friends who know very well how to run .cohdemos have had difficulties with mine somehow despite my...not actually having anything weird going on, so I provide the .avi backup. And sorry about the .avi's size if you go for that, I have put in about 4 hours of work to try to find an encoder that would work and I gave up trying to get it smaller. Sorry that it's all ugly too, but it is viewable. I recommend the .cohdemo if you can make it work. The .cohdemo version is in 2 pieces, the first is to the reactor, the second to Meltdown from that point.
