| Boss Rush Mode Techniques (Soma) |
Land cancel: This works with swords (not great swords, mind you), rapiers, katana, punches, daggers, guns (not the RPG) and bullet souls. Jump. Right before you hit the ground, attack with one of the previously listed weapons or fire off your bullet soul. You'll notice that as soon as you hit the ground Soma's animation is cut short and there will be no lag from whatever attack you performed. By performing a series of very small jumps and land-cancelling an attack at the end of each one, you can attack much, MUCH faster than usual. Very handy.
Back dash cancel: This works with all weapons and bullet souls. Attack or fire off your bullet soul. In the middle of the animation, hit L. Whatever Soma is doing will be cancelled. Note: You cannot back dash cancel a weapon attack that was used in the middle of a back dash. Basically what this means is that you can't back dash cancel weapon attacks over and over. Please notice I specified "weapon" attacks. That is because you can back dash cancel soul attacks any number of times. Very handy, especially with your back against a wall. Also note that you can't back dash cancel an attack performed while ducking.
Special cancel: Works with any weapon that has a special attack and bullet souls. Attack or fire off a bullet soul and then immediately use your special attack. Just like with the back dash, a weapon's special attack will cancel whatever Soma is doing. Especially useful with Death Scythe because it will reduce the lag after an attack and allow you to hit with a mighty special attack that much faster. Note: You can't special cancel an attack performed while ducking.
Werewolf cancel: Works with bullet souls that either do not limit how rapidly you can use them, or bullet souls that have a very high limit on how rapidly you can fire them. Works best with Killer Clown, but also works with Slime, Slogra, Warg, Almaric Sniper and various others. For purposes of Boss Rush, you will only be using Werewolf with Killer Clown. Hold up. Hold R. While still holding both up AND R, press Y as fast as you can. Everything in front of you should die.
