I think all it would have taken is the observation that archidon's attack animation is independent of their motion and some practising from there. Additionally Chaos's cat attack mechanics probably trained people to think of animation cancelling very early in.
It was the cats. The cats reminded me of zerglings, and I played starcraft back in the day, stutter steping zerglings. So I used it on the cats, was able to beat FrozenFury2/CaptainCorps2 with ease using it. Later we found out this was a bug as well.
I'm back :^)
I'll try to contain my excitement.
