canRModeKnockbackSpark (Insane+)

The ability to gain a flash suit without Morph by using enemy damage to trigger reserves and cause a forced standup. After entering a room in R-Mode, farm enemies to add between 1-4 energy into the reserve tank. Damage down until the next enemy contact will trigger reserves. Shinecharge and get hit by an enemy while stationary. Frame perfectly press jump to activate a shinespark on the last frame before the knockback timer expires, 4 frames after the enemy contact.

Pressing jump very early, before the enemy contact, will usually result in an interrupted shinespark resulting in a blue suit. Pressing jump early, during the reserve refill (1 to 4 frames depending on reserve energy), will result in no shinespark. Pressing jump 1 frame late likewise results in no shinespark. Pressing jump 2 or more frames late will result in a vertical shinespark. Damage from a slow moving enemy will usually kill Samus after i-frames expire; for this type of enemy shinespark away as soon as Samus starts to turn blue.
