canManageReserves (Hard)

The ability to manage reserve energy efficiently, including the following techniques: 1) Avoiding wasted energy from reserves overfilling into regular energy, either manually or automatically, 2) Preventing a double enemy hit by having only a small amount of reserve energy when auto refilling, 3) Manually refilling from reserves during a shinespark to prevent the spark from ending early due to low energy.

Sova Boost (Reserve Delay Bomb Boost and Sova Boost) (Expert)
Cathedral Entrance
From: 5
Bottom Right Junction
To: 2
Right Door

Wait for the global Sova to begin climbing the wall below the door. Time a crouch jump to touch the Sova as it begins to climb lip of the ledge to the door. Just before the collision, place a Bomb or Power Bomb. Reserves will activate which will suspend Samus in the air on top of the Bomb while it explodes. This will give two height boosts, allowing Samus to reach the door.
