Strat: RM uppercut cyclone
8 years ago
Virginia, USA

So I was messing around once again trying to find an easier way and then I found this. All you have to do is jump right about when lilac is touching that green crystal on the edge and you will always land on top of the bomb or if you just slightly miss it, as long as you're still on that same platform, you can still make it with an uppercut and cyclone. I actually found it pretty consistent, but no idea if it's faster/slower than the other strat.

(Edit)

So I actually found a 100% consistent way to pull this off, but will take a second or so to set up. As long as you are between those two large crystals and the first little green one in the ground after the slope (Lilac's left foot has to be at least past half of it), then high uppercut followed by a boost, you will always end up on top of the bomb, you still have to land the uppercut after that of course.

The fastest way to consistently do this is to jump off of the last bit of the upslope and start your boost when lilac is horizontally at the edge of the broken background pillar.

Source: Did this strat a week earlier, claiming credit.

It's about .2 seconds faster than extending your cyclone glide and making it, and then uppercutting the enemy. I'd estimate that at saving about .5 seconds, so I'd say .5-.7 seconds of timesave over old strat.

I see, that explanation makes a lot more sense to pulling it off (just gonna put your video here)

Usually not a fan of doing jumps from slopes because the height also depends on how fast you were going in which for that annoying drill guy, I just go all the way over so I don't lose speed landing on the up slope, probably not that big of a difference though. I gave up on trying to do just the jump off of the ledge that I found, just could never find that specific position (it's like trying to do FD4 zip moving at OVER 9000!!, mph)
