View source for Consistent setups for misslotting to slot 9

All of these methods are in theory consistent methods of misslotting to slot 9. Meaning we avoid the "chance" of sometimes getting slot 8 instead.

This is done by making sure you are ready to misslot right after slashing your sword. The method that people used initially, which was pop somaria + dash buffer, spent too much time between slashing your sword and misslotting, making a slot 8 more likely. These ones puts the misslot in the first 11 frames, or uses visual cues to ensure a good misslot.

=== Arrows + Bombs ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_1.mp4
| width = 340
| description = The only difficult part is putting down a bomb quickly after slashing
}}

# 3 Arrows in wall
# Put 1 bomb down
# Slash sword & Hold it
# Immediately put down last bomb
# "Immediately" put down a somaria block, boom etc. for misslotting to 9

Puts you at the very start of the 11 frame window in step 5. You might actually need to wait a few frames (3-4) before misslotting.

Can't be done if you have beams.

EG variable will be unchanged (bomb in slot 0)

=== Arrows + Bomb + Boom ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_2.mp4
| width = 340
}}

Same as above, but step 4 is you throwing a boom instead.

The major difference here is that the boom will change the EG variable for you, so if you want it to be non-zero for hookpush EG, you are already 100% set up after the misslot, and can just hook to EG immediately.


=== Arrows + Beams ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_3.mp4
| width = 340
}}

# 3 Arrows in wall
# Face away from wall
# Slash sword & produce beams & hold sword down
# Do a dash buffer once the beam has travelled ~half the screen
# Put down somaria block, boom etc. for mosslotting to 9, about when the beam has travelled the full screen.

The beams will need to travel for ~1 screen, so this will not work in every room.

In a normal subtile screen, the 11f window ends about when the beam hits the wall.


=== Somaria + Arrow ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_4.mp4
| width = 340
}}

# Put down somaria
# Shoot arrow in wall
# Slash sword & Hold it
# Immediately pop somaria
# "Immediately" put down a somaria block, boom etc. for misslotting to 9.

Puts you at the very start of the 11 frame window in step 5. You might actually need to wait a few frames (3-4) before misslotting.

Beams are OK as long as you're facing a wall or something that makes the beam last for a very short time.

EG variable will be unchanged (somaria spark in slot 0)


=== Somaria + Bomb ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_5.mp4
| width = 340
}}

Same as above, but step 2 is putting down a bomb instead.


=== Somaria + Boom ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_6mp4
| width = 340
}}

Same as above, but step 2 is using a boom instead


=== Somaria + Beam ===

{{VideoBox
| file = File:Consistent_misslot_7.mp4
| width = 340
}}

# Put down somaria
# Slash sword & produce beams & hold sword down
# Immediately pop somaria
# "Immediately" put down a somaria block, boom etc. for misslotting to 9.

The beams will need to travel for ~1 screen, so this will not work in every room. But it's probably the fastest consistent method. You can watch the beams for visual cues on when to press Y.

Puts you at the very start of the 11 frame window in step 4. You might actually need to wait a few frames (3-4) before misslotting.

EG variable will be unchanged (somaria spark in slot 0)
