Dashing into position during this platform climb on the way to DV Stag is something the TAS did, but it was written off as barely being able to save time at the time, and seemed too risky to be worth. After retiming though it seems to be good in every scenario:
- Optimally, it saves just under 0.2s (first clip)
- If you're too low and get a corner correct, it's either the same or a couple frames faster depending on what kind of corner correct you get (second clip)
- If you jump a bit high and have some hang time, it'll still save about 0.1s. Just make sure you do a neutral dash and don't start moving until you do the jump input to avoid falling off the plat (third clip)
The fourth clip is the normal strat for reference.
