This would keep this in Expert, but it would not be notable. It does require ice and 3 spikes, so you'll still typically go for the d-boost strat instead. This one is awkward though, because this can still be expected if the d-boost variant is turned off. So it could be kept notable if that's going to be a problem.

the spring fling keeps it in expert, but is no longer notable. The spring fling is a bit of a stretch though. I wonder if it should also have some sort of quick morph?

You don't need much of a quick morph with a second fling. It does make timing the jump harder without a quick morph.

removes this from being notable, which moves the spike variant from expert to VH

The problem with this in VH is that no one other than me does this strat, so they would expect logic to want them to damage boost over.
The practical difference between the two is that you can retry the hijump jump once you make it this deep into the room, but the damage boost strat you cannot. And dboosting to this point and not to the door doesn't look modelled, so you have extra health if you do that.

this strat was kinda useless and especially shouldn't be notable. I combined it with the other strat as a note for an alternate variant instead

I was actually wondering if there was a good way to remove this one as well, but didn't look like it.

moved this to be the tech video (instead of warehouse entrance, since that's just a walljumpless strat)

this is not just a walljumpless strat, as it should also save heat frames

It will help to have clips of these approaches.

Similar to before, this is very much a draft and any of it can easily be reverted. I'll add some comments again as well.
