I feel rather stupid and like I should've known, but I didn't... aiwebs_016

You know where you charge a shot, spin jump off the side of a wall, then roll up to hold a charge in the ball form in mid-air? After a few seconds the bombs release and bounce/fly very high.

I was playing a SM hack, and happened to charge a shot, then I just rolled up into a ball.... I did the same thing as with the 'jumping off the wall' technique. Embarassed

I guess it's just a matter of holding DOWN.

I'm certain many of you know this too. But I once asked how to do this... The top most explanation was what I was given.

Confused

Yes, you can just charge and then morph to release the bombs, or hold 'down' to release them higher / farther.

To do it while jumping, you have to do it off a wall. You cannot do it from a normal jump. This can also be used beneficially to save time in a speed run, usually in the red Brinstar shaft, but I couldn't remember which video it was in. I think it was Saturn's or NameSpoofer's.

You can morph in midair while charging the beam by holding down then turning around and pressing down just at the end of the turning animation. Also the one that found the timesaver for it in Red Brinstar was a Japanese TASer called gstick.

Ok, thanks, but I was referring to a vid I have seen recently posted that used it. I'm talking in the last few weeks or so.
