canJumpIntoCrystalFlashClip (Extreme)

Setting up a Crystal Flash by jumping and morphing. Once to place the Power Bomb, then again to activate the Crystal Flash. This trick has a 1 frame window. If below crumble blocks, hold down to break them. Usually only useful when the crumble blocks do not respawn. If below a single solid tile, Grapple can be used to place Samus above it. To do this, select Grapple as Samus' energy refills then hold down and mash shoot, the earlier the better.
