anyone else use this amazing tactic? for example, when people like froggy are chasing you and are trying to align their horizontal dash with you in the air, switching off your jetpack is a great way to drop fast and throw them off. same with leons when flying high up in the air. combined with flying back up all over the place and mine laying and you've got a hard to hit annoyance character while your team mate take them out.

Eh, yuri's vertical momentum is too slow to really juke splash dash all that well.
As you specifically said, this mostly works for horizontal dashs. A good froggy will still hit you, using proper spacing and baiting jukes
By doing this you also risk baiting a normal splash dash, only to lose a large chunk of life when you get hit by hammer pants, since you drop to the ground
Its still good to try to juke dashs, but even a bad frog wont miss forever

I normally do this when trying to teleport away at low health when someone is chasing me. Fly right up in the air, wait for them to start taking a route to get up to you and turn your jetpack off.

If a Leon's on your butt, just fly up and hit A whenever you're hit, you'll only get one maybe two hits this way (around 50 damage?) and you can drop a mine for 72 damage while you do it.

Eh... 60 % of the time the frog dash will most likely hit every time. I do find it useful if I go mines first to cancel out the jet pack as I drop mines above enemies, then rocket straight back up. Also works well if you see a Leon coming toward you. Look up and repeatedly turn on and off your jet pack and you can get out of his reach fairly quickly and safetly. Using jump pads and being able to cancel out of them so easily also can help you out in a sticky situation. Yuri is just too awesome!
