I'd say this is a rare situation where the technique is useful. It's not like double-setup which itself seems ludicrous to practice but imagine what you could do if you mastered using it.

Mirror just changes hand bias, which really isn't an inherently bad thing. Files where it's that drastic that it helps to mirror a file from a physical standpoint traditionally aren't that good of files to begin with anyways (or at least the section itself sucks to an extent). As someone who was too stubborn to use mirror for the longest time up until like 2018/2019, I realized how many files I had mindblocked and it just made everything more fair for me since I was playing to my actual ability lmao.

Unless you mindblock both like me, then you're fucced.

Same goes for trilling long jacks on two fingers. Virtually every quality file wouldn't even have such jacks to begin with so the debate normally doesn't even exist, but in the case of something like Angelic Layer, you *should* have that option imo. It's just a matter of player integrity at that point and you won't develop good long jack fundamentals for other files anyways, so it punishes what it needs to for the most part.

As long as you're staying within the boundaries of a normal keyboard with four keys only, there's not really anything that constitutes as cheating from a technical standpoint. It's just incredibly cheesy and reduces your development for better fundamentals.

And yeah, I've MFC'd a few jacks in Jackhammer madness using the start. If my left hand could do it as well as my right, I could probably SDP the entire thing tbh.
