The difference is slightly reduced because of the lag increase from using explosives at a faster rate, but this technically saves a frame on each hover.
Normally when performing a maximum height bombchu hover, you have to delay the backflip by a frame to allow Link to finish putting his shield away, otherwise you cant do a frame 1 bombchu pull. However, after blocking the explosion during a hover, there is 1 frame where you can pull the sword. Then theres 1 frame where you can backflip or sidehop without swinging the sword. This frame happens to be right on the frame that you normally couldnt perform a maximum height hover.

This was done on Bizhawk 1.13.2, so youll need a compatible version to play back the movie file. The technique itself will of course work on any version of Bizhawk or of the game, though.")
![Mountain Ice Skip 0 A presses [DEMO]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JuulPc0oQ5Q/mqdefault.jpg "Mountain Ice Skip 0 A presses [DEMO]
Same concept as my previous video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v e4r21Z_WIA&lc=z22cctgg5mm5jbq3hacdp43bmziptuwnobvp1qahquhw03c010c This time I used an eeno as suggested by ProbablyButter for the recoil instead of chus to make this actually applicable in a low A press run. I call this a demo because I pressed A several times from muscle memory, but none of my A presses were required. For instance, I pressed A to put away the sword, then I took it back out, and I have muscle memory to cancel C-up with A, but it can be cancelled by pressing C-up again.
So the purpose of this is to get over an invisible wall that exists on this seam. It is possible to backflip or jumpslash over it, but those require an A press which is for cheaters! First of all, gotta push a big eeno up near the ice. Its probably possible with a small eeno, but that would be way harder. I detonate the blast mask while holding ESS forward and slightly towards the eeno to get a long jump off the slope. Very shortly after the longjump, my shield hits a thrown snowball and recoils me back over the wall. To get over the wall, you must be extremely high up on the slope before long jumping, otherwise you will not gain enough height to get over. Then actually landing on the seam is very precise. It is necessary to stab the snowballs the eeno throws at you before and after in order to avoid getting knocked off the slope, and this is surprisingly difficult.")
