	The window of time to press right or angle up with an aerial shinespark is almost the same as a grounded shinespark -- 1 to 29 frames after activating it, instead of 2 to 30.

		+
		+	The window of time for the shinespark inputs changes if you're in water without [[Gravity Suit]], such as when collecting the energy tank in [[Waterway Energy Tank Room]] in [[RBO]] or Randomizer.
		+
		+	For a grounded shinespark, if you press jump to activate the shinespark on Frame 0, you can press left on Frame 5 to do a horizontal shinespark. Pressing left on Frame 4 will result in a vertical spark, and pressing left on Frames 1, 2, or 3 will actually cause the shinespark activation to not happen, and you will simply jump left instead. This is because it takes several frames from the jump press for Samus to "wind up" her jump before leaving the ground. For this reason you also need to press jump earlier in terms of the 180 frame window to activate the shinespark after charging it. You can press left as late as Frame 33, otherwise you will do a vertical spark on Frame 34.
		+
		+	An "aerial" spark suitless in water has the same window as it does outside of water: 1 to 29 frames after activating it.

Jump technically doesn't need to be held, but that will be easiest for all non-TAS runs.
