#back up 8

Cool strat to save back some time if you miss one hit on the triples

In case you miss epogo while being full soul, this is a pretty good back up. I pretty much jump slightly after hearing the sporg fire and then for the big jump you can slash at the same time/slightly after pressing jump.

If you have 2 soul after failing epogo, you can full jump right away after reaching the platform, upslash the sporg and drop off the platform asap, then continue as shown here. Its a bit tighter ime, but def possible

backup strat for 1hp inspired by @74v13r's fury route devout kills

Backup strat for getting knocked left during right-side rafters (second clip, first clip is normal right-side for reference). Requires 6 soul entering the room. Variation of sawayoshi's low fps strat with the dash/drift directions adjusted slightly to avoid killing the vengefly during the setup. Loses 1.4s which isn't great, but it's better than resorting to left-side.

maybe known? way to backup the mantis pogo after you miss that dash entering the room, notice how I go neutral for a little when hitting the lever

I couldn't find an example in here for this shade skip, so here're two examples I got; one with good rng, and another with a shade fireball and recovery timing.

For the backup start jumping again as soon as the fireball passes over you. If the fireball passes higher above you, you can start jumping earlier so that you still rise up about equally behind it with your jump as I did here.

Buffer every jump, or else you're playing a game of luck with whether you align with the shade's up/down dipping to get enough height. if you read it well you can probably save some missed jumps and adapt with double fb, and just skip the firebell at rg stag (for AWR).

note: I am not good at this shade skip, so if you have issues with these setups you can share clips of attempts etc and ask for help/guidance in #hk-nmg-discussion or any similar channel

this is a backup strat for dog cycle in case jerkface still has their laser up by the time you get to the top. seems to be faster than waiting for the laser, but it is certainly faster than getting hit and continuing

A backup strat for mantis pogo. End of the clip shows reaction to a walkback, both pogos are lenient as long as you dash at the height of the second pogo. Loses around 6-8s depending on execution and whether the mantis steps back. Ensure you are not too close to the mantis when it charges an attack, or the pogo will miss.
