Hmm, you mean like without speed up:
1) jump kick high
2) while rolling, slide and then press change character twice (to cancel slide and turn back into Jonathan)
3) repeat
Correct right? Since if speed up is on, changing back to Jonathan cancels speed up.
As for the slide/switch, other than changing button layout to make it easier, is there a certain trick to it? Since I always seem to stop for a split second when changing character. Maybe it's because I'm holding down which makes the character stop or I'm switching too slow. Or do you mean [slide, switch while holding forward] x n?
Also, welcome to the forums.

Yes, I meant for it to be used before getting the speed up spell.
What I do is
1) high jump kick
2) roll/slide
3) hold forward while sliding and switch to charlotte then back again.
If you do it right you shouldn't stop moving at all, but there is a slight delay between jumps due to switching characters. I'm not sure whether this slight delay hampers the speed of the trick in comparison to just low jump kicks or not, I'll test it out tomorrow morning, I don't feel like playing much at the moment.
Also, before you even get the double jump ability you can just slide and switch characters and slide and switch characters ad nauseum. Though there's a bit of a rhythm involved with that to get the maximum amount of speed, but if you just fool around with it you should be able to find it.
What I do is hit x and then delay the b button, but only by a very slight amount, I treat it as one motion (x to b, I use my middle finger on x and index on b and alternate in a tapping motion.) It doesn't matter when you switch characters during the slide, so long as you do it before they slow down near the end of the slide.
Also, you can switch characters after crashing into the downed pillar after behemoth knocks you through the room to cancel the stun of the hit there too. Just a little time saver, but I don't think there is really a competitive speed running community for this game, which kinda makes me sad.
I tried using the character switching after being hit by other attacks/enemies to see if it could be used as a sort of enemy boost like in metroid, but to no avail.
