(Read below for combo notation)

Although Estel has an infinite using her Flying Scythe (her Alternate Blitz move), I was surprised to see no YTers made a video showing this infinite is possible. So I decided to make a quick video illustrating a bunch of different setups from various distances in training mode, as well as a few examples vs Diva in Boss Rush.
In reality, the setups and infinite are very similar to her Sucker Punch infinite (her Alternate Offensive Special), but a bit harder.

I use CPU keypad notation for directions; 8=up, 4=left, 6=right, 2=down, 5=neutral.
A=attack, J=jump, S=special, P=pick up,
A(hold)=press & hold A, A(rel)=release A,
BA=back attack

0:00 actual infinite
requires: Blitz - alternate
(after infinite setup)
[ A(rel), 66A(hold), (delay) ] xn
-Estel's charged attack is iffy, which can lead to this infinite ending even if both hits connect; if you don't do it right, the opponent will not bounce up off the ground after the 66A connects. The best way I would describe it is you need to put a slight pause after the 66A, so you don't connect the A(rel) too early; I think it has to do with where Estel's hitbox touches the opponent; it can't be too early when she's just starting to flip, nor near the end.

[ A(rel), 66A(hold), (delay) ] xn
-this is probably one of Estel's best setups for this infinite, because you don't have to use up your otg to start it, giving you a chance to keep the infinite going if you mess up a charged attack once in the combo

AA, AA, AAAAA,

[ A(rel), 66A(hold), (delay) ] xn
-the setup after sucker punch is going to be very similar to Estel's sucker punch infinite; use up all the wall bounces while keeping them in the corner; this is a fairly reliable way to setup her infinite, so most of the setups I list will actually make use of this sucker punch setup

-one of the benefits to Estel's Flying Scythe is that it has HUGE corner carry; the downside is that it's a bit hard to just throw out there in a combo and then adjust, so you have to already know how far you are to the wall and pick the proper route beforehand

AA, AA, AA,

[ A(rel), 66A(hold), (delay) ] xn
-Estel can start her infinite off an air grenade otg, but personally i find this setup much less reliable; the first charged attack you do will not hit them when they're in the corner, so the potential to mess it up is higher than the sucker punch setup

AA, AA, AA,

[ A(rel), 66A(hold), (delay) ] xn
-while probably one of Estel's best setups due to saving the otg, it's harder to set this up vs Diva, because it's tough to put her close to the wall

-both this setup and the previous setup are fine vs Diva, it's a matter of where she is when you hit her
