=== Leap Launch ===
A Leap Launch combines the momentum of ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}'' with a Puddle Punch to gain extra distance and air control. When combined with other mechanics such as The Cube Slope Acceleration, a Leap Launch allows you to travel across the map faster than any other known method, though this comes at the cost of multiple cooldowns.
The main challenge with performing a Leap Launch is timing. The optimal delay between activating Puddle Punch and ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}'' is 433 ms, which will result in a Leap Launch every time. However, even activating just 10 ms early or late results in a small chance of failure, causing you to go the normal distance for ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}''. In practice, a delay between 405 and 450 ms will result in a successful Leap Launch the majority of the time.
==== Leap Launch Practice ====
The simplest way to practice the timing for performing a Leap Launch is to enter the "Explore NYC" game mode. Then set a metronome to 139 bpm (138.568 bpm to be precise) and activate Puddle Punch and ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}'' on consecutive beats. The delay between beats at 139 bpm is very close to the ideal 433 ms, making it easy to learn the activation timing. Alternatively, the 1998 hit electronic song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwZm4LZxeeI Lollipop (Candyman) by Aqua] also has an appropriate beats per minute.

Slope Acceleration can be useful in conjunction with pre-defined rollouts; Slope Acceleration can allow for extremely fast traversal and rotations to predefined locations on the map. However, the usage of ''The Cube'' (an extremely powerful support ability) can limit the usefulness of this technique.

}}
=== Rescue Beam Cube Slide ===
Viscous can ''Cube'' an ally, activate {{ItemIcon|Rescue Beam}}, then turn his back to the ''Cube'' before pulling Rescue Beam. This allows Viscous to "slide" by being pushed by the ''Cube'' with low friction.

|inputs=''Cube'' ally → Double Jump / Wall Jump → Rescue Beam → Pull Rescue Beam
}}
=== Rescue Beam Cube Flight ===
Viscous can jump over an ally encased in ''The Cube'' and pull them with {{ItemIcon|Rescue Beam}} to fly upwards. Since ''The Cube'' cannot be climbed, Viscous can wall-jump or double jump on top of it. However, the potential flight distance is limited by Viscous' ability to stay on top of ''The Cube'' (it's easy to fall off due to the low friction) and ''The Cube's'' short duration (which can be extended with {{ItemIcon|Duration Extender}} and {{ItemIcon|Superior Duration}}). Viscous can more easily stay on top of ''The Cube'' if it is placed next to a wall.

=== Ball-less Frogpunch ===
Frogpunch is able to be executed without ''Goo Ball''. However, the '''Ball-less Frogpunch''' does not go as far as a normal Frogpunch.
The execution of the Ball-less Frogpunch is nearly the same as a normal Frogpunch, but without ''Goo Ball.''
To execute, be hit by ''Puddle Punch'' and then use  ''Majestic Leap''. If done correctly, you will go further than a regular  ''Majestic Leap'' or a regular Puddle Punch Boost.
