If you watch the gameplay snippets that play during the end credits, it shows him throwing daggers while swinging at that very same spot.  I don't think I knew you could do it either until I saw that.  Still, I never do it because there is no place in the game where it really gives me an advantage.

I used it in the rotating room with the Medusa heads. Otherwise, I didn't really use that function either.

Still, I rather like it.

I once spent a bit of time screwing around by swinging and throwing various sub weapons.

Pretty much every first generation SNES Konami game was actually developed by the team that would eventually become Treasure. Contra III, Gradius III, Castlevania...

I just time my jump early so that I land right on the edge of the platform, giving me plenty of time to whip that skeleton bitch before he even realizes I'm there.
Super CV4 is probably the CV game that I am best at.  I typically play through the whole game in one sitting without dying once.  I think I have it memorized to the point where I can play it in my sleep. 

Actually, I just wanted to mention that.  But in reality, you can crouch under the sword-swing the skeleton does.  But it feels particularly satisfying to already have hit him with a Boomerang before you even land on the platform.

That reminds me of when I attempted a no damage run of this game the skull boss in level 4 was the first true obstacle.  There I actually decided to use the dagger subweapon rather than risk damage from all the rocks dropping when triple holy water is used, especially because the game tends to slow down if you go that route.  It was a very exciting fight although to my dismay I never fully completed the no damage run.

I've never attempted a no-damage run, mostly because there is no trophy or any other evidence of completing it, so nobody would believe it anyways.

Is there a TAS run of SCV4 no damage? I wonder if something like that exists. It seems possible to do a no damage run.
