Monkey Flip Range Differences?

[NaPKiNG]

I was messing around in training with Diddy, and I realized, without knowing how I did it, sometimes Diddy would end up going faster than normal as well as sliding farther (he would go about an extra rolls-width distance). Does anyone know what this is caused by?
(On a side note, it looks like if you kick right before you land when using MF from the ground, the landing lag is less atrocious. Still pretty bad though.)

Smash input. If you quickly tap the direction + special button at the same time, it'll go farther. Nifty catch on the lag, I'll have to test it out.

Yeah, the landing lag is still pretty bad, and it's only worth doing if you are less than a short hop off the ground. If you are more than a short hop, there is virtually no lag on landing.
