In addition to covering more leaveWithMockball strats in Maridia/Norfair, I also did a pass of 3-room strats where you enter a room (e.g. a two-door Save room) running/spinning and then leave mockballing through an opposite door. The schema doesn't allow us to propagate the entry speed into the exit speed, but for now we can specialize to the case needed for the Ice Beam Gate Room mockball, which I think is the most significant application.

Some of these strats are not possible to occur in Map Rando with Ice Beam Gate Room due to geometrically impossible room configurations, but I kept them anyway; some of them might have other applications, or if not, they probably will later when we extend them to general runway lengths.

Most of these have a movement tech but there are two things I was looking for:

  • Jumping up to a landing runway isn't Hard friendly, where you would cut your jump to mockball quickly.
  • landingRunway of just the doorframe means a mockball might fail to roll under the shutter fast enough. So you either want extra run speed or to morph higher in the air which isn't an obvious thing.

Then Jump-> shoot door -> mockball generally seems at least very hard too, but I think all of those had canPreciseSpacejump.

"can3HighWallMidAirMorph": What is the wall jump for? Or was this supposed to be "can4HighMidAirMorph"?

I was reading over the Expert techs over and over until the walljump part went away on its own.
