*Jay_cee started '''5 cycle is not that easy to do quick whipspull off!!''' It requires knowledge of diagonal whip cancels and good spawns. * This method with the diagonal whip works well since it is easy to release one of the direction directions to cancel the whip. Still * To get a though strat 5 cycle you are required to get 6 whips in for a one cycle though.
