Have one player (''Person A'') jump on top of the other player's (''Person B''<nowiki/>'s) head. ''Person A'' should repeatedly jump while standing on ''Person B''. ''Person B'' should, while looking up at ''Person A'' and holding an [[Energy Sword]], rapidly press '''X''' and '''B'''. The button combination uses a reload to "cancel" a sword [[lunge]] (''sword canceling''), allowing the lower player to "fly". | Have one player (''Person A'') jump on top of the other player's (''Person B''<nowiki/>'s) head.

More precisely, ''Person B'' ends up lunging at ''Person A'', but canceling the lunge before the blow actually hits. The end result is that ''Person B'' moves upward, pushing ''Person A'' upward as well; ''Person A'', however, is not killed by the lunge. When ''Person A'' jumps, they put distance between themselves and ''Person B'', preventing the lunge from being an instant hit and kill. The two players can simply repeat the trick ''[[Wikipedia:ad infinitum|ad infinitum]]'' to achieve greater heights. | More precisely, ''Person B'' ends up lunging at ''Person A'', but canceling the lunge before the blow actually hits.
