I'm playing with joy cons. I get this trick to work inconsistently, I just wonder if it is easier with the pro controller?
Also, is there anything more to the trick than ground pound + X Y B at the same time that I haven't heard of?
I haven't tried it myself because I wouldn't run the game with joycons anyway, but I heard people talking about how they find it easier cause the buttons are so close together.
And yeah, there is more to it. First of all, you want to press X before Y+B (I assume you actually know that). The inputs are pretty much frame perfect (we can say how big the window truly is when we have a TAS). You're position matters, it's easier when you put just a little bit of distance between Mario and the wall. In general wall clipping is a lot easier on slopes. Study the setup of top runners like Vallu or Samura1man who are quite consistent, copy it and train your muscle memory. You always want to see the golden sparkles to confirm that you actually performed a roll that you can cancel. If you bonk, you're inputs are too slow. A lot of runners also prefer to delay their inputs after the ground pound. You can try the inverted pyramid first cause it's a lot easier to clip into, if you get consistent there switch back to the Sphynx.
