Might seem like I'm brushing it off, but they've done plenty of vertical landings with Falcons, so it's something they know they can do. The actual flip maneuver is the new and important thing. The landing legs on these prototypes have been kind of an afterthought, since sticking the landing perfectly hasn't been a huge priority or expected. Now that they've proven the landing method and know that the bellyflop and flip work, they can refine the ship design which includes better legs
