Was just scrolling through reddit and found this https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetsofRage/comments/imajgw/anybody_seen_this_before_knock_ms_y_off_the_edge/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Can we actually replicate this and implement it in runs ? Its kinda luck dependent but possible you need to wait for her to jump and star, and it should work using other characters too. can it work with mr. y too since he jumps as well but not as much ?

Cool find. I wonder if she needs to be that high up to bounce off the screen too.

Mrs Y has two wake up hops, a short and a long. It has to be a long hop into your star move to carry her momentum off the cliff. The star also needs to be right before the hp value that causes them to get into robot. When they are getting into the robot the side walls and background wall disappear.

In testing, facing your back to Mrs Y when she gets up = most likely to be long hop. Also you need to be high up on the stage for it to work but not too high up or she will always hop down and not up. This is not reliable in a run as the best opportunity to hit Mrs Y is right at the start of the fight where you get to hit both of them. The trouble with this is they are a few pixels too high at the start, so even if you did drop the combo early to allow her to hop, she will hop down anyway and it wouldn't work.

The only other option is to drop combo 1 and then hit her slightly lower in combo 2 and do it from there whilst Mr Y is shooting you. This is not something you would want to do as she could completely hop away from you after combo 1 and you may never get her in the right place after again.

There is also a possibility to do this to Mr Y. If you punch him and let him recover he always does a roll, again this can be up or down so positioning would matter. Hp near robot level + jab + upward roll >super = probably dead Mr Y.

Thanks to A1Major for the walls + air momentum theory, the rest was simple to work out in tests.

Wow, thanks a bunch major and maightybill for the testing. I tried it yesterday and yeah I think it wastes more time to set it up then to actually kill her later. It would only be worth it if a run is so optimized and you want to save more time doing it.
