Mixing
When inhaling two enemies with abilities, a mix will be preformed upon swallowing them. The starting position of the roulette depends on the first enemy you inhale. Methods for landing a mix vary from person to person: some involve counting the audible ticks in your head, looking for a certain ability on the roulette, or counting in a specific rhythm. The order of abilities is shown below:
The first slot visible when starting a roulette is actually unobtainable, so when discussing what slot an ability is located within a certain mix, it's better to count up from 0. Between slots 0 to 16, the roulette increments every 4 frames; Between slots 17 and 21 by 8 frames; Between slots 22 to 27 by 16 frames. The roulette ends on the 28th ability, at which point 24 frames pass before you automatically acquire the ability. After 24 slots, the roulette loops back to where it started, so the 0th and 24th are the same, the 1st and 25th slot, and so on. This means that a slot 1 mix can be backed up if you press too early, by aiming for the 25th slot instead.
Notable mix variants are slot 1 and slot 28 mixes. The former requires a double-tap or mash to get, which is a little easier than timing an input like for other slots. The latter only requires you to wait until the roulette finishes, which is very useful due to it's simplicity. However, you can save 3 seconds by turning a slot 28 mix into a slot 4 mix.
