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

easier variant on the TE shade skip, based on how I do it with a dash into the shade instead of drifting onto it

shown here is a setup where you don't need to drift at all to get the damage boost, instead you dash into it, this allows you to just hold down for the most of the trick and do the pogo and fireballs until you turnaround and dash to the ledge,
one thing to note is that you'll need to make sure you're facing to the left at the beginning of when you jump to get it to work instead of it not mattering like with the regular setup

if you're used to the regular setup, the timing might feel a little bit off, i line up the shade and myself with the background then dash at the apex of my jump
