Overview
Reportal is an exploit of mechanics that is intended to prevent the player from standing within one portal while placing the other one somewhere else. It allows you to gain 200 ups of speed when you pass through a portal.
Execution
The main idea behind reportalling is to shoot the portal you're entering right after you pass through it (so, for example, if you enter blue portal, you shoot blue portal once you're on orange portal's side). Depending on a type of a surface the entry portal was previously placed on, the execution of reportal slightly differs.
Note: Because of Peer Review patch, shooting floor surfaces doesn't give you speed boost.
Entry portal on a wall
Aim at the portalable wall you see through a portal you want to enter, and then pass through the portal. Once your view is on the other side, shoot the same color of portal you've just entered on aimed surface. If you did it correctly, you should get a speed boost. No speed boost means you did it too late. If you blocked yourself with a portal, it means you were too early.
Entry portal on a floor
Great floor reportal tutorial by JonnySnapzGaming
- Example: Pit Flings
Stand close to a floor portal, face a portalable wall, and fall through the portal. Once your vision is about to enter the portal, place the same color of portal you are falling through on the portable surface in front of you. If done correctly, you will get noticeable speed boost. If you want to chain multiple floor reportals, remember to place the portal back on a floor.
Entry portal on a slanted surface
- Example: Challenge Mode route of Laser Catapult
Look at the portal on slanted surface and then fly through it. Once your view is about to enter the portal, shoot the same color of portal you are falling through. If you did it correctly, you should get a speed boost.
All of these methods require extremely precise timing of fire that needs to be practiced.
Pre-patch
Before Peer Review DLC, it was possible to gain speed boost by shooting a floor surface, making floor reportals easy to execute - similar to what we do now with reportals from slanted surface.
Super Reportal
Super Reportal refers to any combination of glitches that allows you to gain a lot of speed really quickly from multiple reportals.
