Strawberry Surprise

Discovered by: Red Scarlet

Main Items required: Boost Ball

Description: Boost off an edge, unmorphing when the top of the morphball is about even with the ledge (height). Immediately L-lock space jump to finish the move. Original post in the forums.

Note: The X then B (relative) timing is very similar to a roll jump or BSJ (quick). The timing of the morph is harder than a roll jump due to the ambiguity of the visual cues.

The extra distance seems to stem solely from initiating a space jump farther from the edge than a roll jump without R boost. (SS will cross the gap at Watch Station Access, whereas a non-R boosted roll jump will not.) R boost can be used to increase the distance attained by SS. Seemingly just equal to a roll jump, however. Technically, it should be just a bit farther.
