#cyclone 8

Manip Idk what to call this
Probably known but definitely obscure enough to be worth reposting since it's extremely relevant with the new 1221 AS reroute, and saves 1.4 for some reason lol

You're able to fit 2 cyclone drops in this room, and it is a lot easier to go towards the left before entering the transition.

adaptation of spirity's movement above for good rng out of the crawlid, if you get bad rng do what spirity does instead

Fastest strat i could find for this room, from my timings saves .15 max over not doing the cyclone, .1 is pretty consistent. If you're still on 1.4 (shame) be sure to do the cyclone early enough to not get memed on by the lack of dash refresh (if you do, loses .2)

Visual cue for cyclone drop, wait until the end of the spikes, release cyclone, pogo at the end of cyclone, cyclone saves a bit over a half second to regular drop with a pogo for dash refresh and ceiling boost

directly saves 0.2s over comsob in this room (which loses 1.3s in the next room due to skipping the cdash)
saves 0.5-1.0s over ax's double dnail strat somewhere

gathers a bit less soul. still enough for the needed 3 casts for mawlek, usually part of the extra vessel as well.

cyclone drop for categories going from kings stations to kingdoms edge with cyclone and cdash. saves 0.2 over the 1221 inventory drop strat seen in All Skills (example here: https://discord.com/channels/772964112908156938/890167936340340746/893441493094793226), and trivially lenient in comparison
