I try to do that, but sometimes I just don't get enough momentum from getting damaged. Is it RNG or do you have to just get hit on the right pixels to get it?

I hope somebody sees this. I have a question for Any% No ACE To get fast sword there's a set up where you walk into the spiny and it knocks you into the range to pick it up before the owl leaves but after the text is done.

I was practicing and I somehow was able to get knocked into the sword, pick it up before the owl showed up and then the jingle played while I was mashing the owl's text. I have not been able to replicate this again I've tried a dozen times.

My question is, is there a good and consistent way to get good knock back from walking into the spiny and has anyone else picked up the sword before the owl appeared and have the jingle play during the owl's text?
