Francesco de'Pazzi's Leap of Faith

It's interesting that Francesco de'Pazzi leapt from the Palazzo della Signoria and (probably) landed in a haystack. Is that worth mentioning? It's a considerable height. --Tigan Barkwater ^{Why not chat?} 08:53, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

It is indeed worth noting. --Silver Mage Ω 03:21, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Wagon of fish??.....

I've seen all the hay and leaves but never a wagon of fish..... Where is this??......EchoAltair 01:35, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think it was stated in a AC2 preview months before the game release, but it turned out wrong. Go ahead, remove it. -- D. Cello 03:13, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, I just thought they were in an area I didn't pay attention to or something.... I shall remove it now.....EchoAltair 12:13, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's sort of annoying how there was a message stating Lucy moved the bales of materials in order to make navigation of the Animus 'Easier'. What happene if it spawned inside a person, or she re-wrote history by putting it there? And does this mean that te Assassins were also far less skillful in the Leap Of Faith than the game depicts?
I know it's true and everything, but seriously, Ubisoft..... TheDragonAndTheApple 22:35, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

You DO realize the Animus is a REPLAY of thigs, and not a time machine, right? It only shows what already happened, you CAN'T change history x.x Go sit in the corner and think about what you wrote XD -- D. Cello 01:15, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Lol, okay, scratch the part about spawning inside people. But I still think it's kind of downtoning the Assassin's awesomeness by 'adding' bales of shizz to LOF into. And back to your point, how can Lucy modify history by placing the bales in different locations TheDragonAndTheApple 12:20, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well, she doesn't modify hsitory cause the Animus IS NOT A FREAKING TIME MACHINE! ¬¬
As she says, she added little bits of code into the simulation to make memory navigation easier. If she hadn't done that, you would almost never do a Leap of Faith, since you can't do it on the ground. -- D. Cello 15:13, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

"Leap of Fake"

"Stormbeast (Talk | contribs)‎ m . . (8,478 bytes) (-336)‎ . . (Except it's not what it's called, and you're messing up the page's code.)

Well then, please do it so this part can be added properly. Both the picture and the dub came from a national reviewer, so while i may have made a mistake at its name, there is not anything that proves the "Leap of Fake" isn't real.

Wait until the game is out before we add to existing articles. We have no idea how much info we currently have is actually accurate. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 01:03, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Exactly what picture and what dub are you referring to? I've never heard of this "Leap of Fake" as funny as the name is. If it was mentioned by a dev during an interview, it was probably a joke. As it stands, there's nothing that proves it is real. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 01:04, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

I left a link to a picture which depicts Arno falling from a building with his legs bent, directly towards a beam with no Haybale/Water/Wagon to be seen. If you don't know what i'm talking about, then you did not check the link. i'll leave two pictures here and here. It was not mentioned by a dev, it was (As i said before) depicted by a gaming reviews site who gave it this "funny" name because it doesn't fit in the molds of an fully-fledged Leap of Faith, yet the similarities can't be ignored.

(Adding a little bit here, i made a slight mistake. Max Spielberg did mention joking about the possibility about not needing the Leap of Faith anymore due to the improvement of the ascending and descending Parkour system.)

189.124.242.155 01:10, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Based on the pictures, Ubisoft called this "controlled descent", though I doubt it needs to be mentioned on the article. Your "Leap of Fake" was coined by a random person not affiliated with Ubisoft. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 01:19, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, i said that about the name before. I confirmed, the name is a joke. Even then, read this.

If you're a TL,DR kind of person, OK: 12th paragraph says:  “One of my favourite new moves, and one of the coolest ones I think you’ll see in the game is called the Base Jump. The player jumps out, arms outstretched, almost looks like he’s going into a Leap of Faith and then catches a pole right at the last second to swing off. That’s very impressive.”

189.124.242.155 01:24, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Why exactly did you not just call it a "Base Jump" in the article? --Crimson Knight _Intercom 01:25, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Because i did not know its name. I was looking for it while talking to you. For whatever reason that site did not translate the name, so i used that 'joke name' for lack of a better one. So, for that, i'll admit i was wrong and i apologize.

189.124.242.155 01:27, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

It's perfectly alright. We all make mistakes, trust me. For what it's worth, I appreciate your patience and willingness to cooperate with Stormbeast and I. It's quite refreshing to see. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 01:28, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Impatience wouldn't lead me anywhere. Thanks to you as well.

189.124.242.155 01:29, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Would this work for you, anon? Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 01:40, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it would. 189.124.242.155 01:41, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

"Alternative leap of faith"

• Ezio was forced to perform an alternative Leap of Faith at least once, after speaking with his father at the Palazzo della Signoria in "Jailbird."

Can we clarify this? What is "alternative" about it? Jasonnorthrup (talk) 01:16, October 9, 2014 (UTC) —unsigned comment by Jasonnorthrup (talk · contr)

As opposed to a normal Leap of Faith, facing forward and doing a flip to land on your back, Ezio fell back-first. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 01:13, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Was that his first? Jasonnorthrup (talk) 01:18, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Given how early it was in the game and the first recorded one, yes. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 01:23, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Didn't he perform one to get down from the tower with Federico before he went to see Cristina, with Vieri and his goons looking for him while he stayed hidden in the hay bale? Teamrocketspy621 (talk) 02:08, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

That was a normal one. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 02:16, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

I was under the impression that Jasonnorthrup was asking if the accidental backwards Leap of Faith was Ezio's first Leap of Faith at all, and pointed out that it wasn't. My mistake. I forgot that it's possible to do a backwards-falling Leap of Faith like that outside of that particular memory. Teamrocketspy621 (talk) 03:37, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

That was my intent, yes. Thank you TeamrocketspyJasonnorthrup (talk) 04:54, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Easter eggs

I think easter eggs' informations should be shown in that page, too. I know they are already shown in the esater eggs' page, but I think they should be sown here, too, because the prettly concern the Leap of Faith.Re Edward Kenway (talk) 22:33, August 23, 2015 (UTC)

The same could be said for Altair and Ezio, the amount of skins that appear in other games. The information doesn't need to be in more than one place. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 15:52, August 24, 2015 (UTC)

Leap of the Faithless

So the AC1 game guide has a bit detailing the "'Leap of the Faithless': A dangle, an embarrassing drop, and (hopefully) a soft landing." Should we include this? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 02:06, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Maybe? Is it more experienced Levantine Assassins making fun of rookies still scared to jump, or is it their next step in (theoretical) standing trust fall > falling from a non-lethal height > climbing really high? – Darman (talk) 03:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

It's more mocking but it only gets mentioned twice in the section heading as "Leap of Faith (and Faithless)" and then it shows a picture of a leap of faith with a normal caption followed by a picture of Altiar dangling from a viewpoint and then just falling with the caption I posted above. The rest of the section just talks about the regular leap of faith. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 04:13, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
