canDownwardGModeSetup (Insane)

Ability to setup an R-mode or G-mode through a downward door. Samus needs to be in a standing or walking position with no vertical speed on the first frame in the next room, while taking damage through the transition. This is typically done using quicksand, clipping into the floor, or using a thawing frozen wall crawler.

Downward G-Mode Setup with Ice (Insane)
Parlor and Alcatraz
From: 7
Bottom Left Vertical Door
To: 7
Bottom Left Vertical Door

Freeze a Geemer on the bottom of the overhang just below the door to Final Missile Bombway. Freeze a second Geemer on the top left of its platform and setup a moonfall between them. Fall off the Geemers and clip into the tile left of the door. Press up to get out of crouch and lose the stored vertical speed (so that X-Ray works). Then turn-around, open the door, and go into the door transition as the third Geemer hits you. Falling off the frozen Geemers requires relatively high precision: This setup is a 4 frame window, not too far left, so you can get to the door transition, not too far right such that you enter the transition when falling.

G-Mode Setup - Get Hit by Thawing Sciser (Insane)
Crateria Kihunter Room
From: 3
Bottom Door
To: 3
Bottom Door

Run from the ledge into the open doorway while hitting the frozen Crab as it thaws and the door transition simultaneously. Note that this requires a pixel perfect freeze, a small pixel starting window, and has tight timing. It then has a 50% success rate due to collision oscillation.
