A 4 hits setup for the downdash pattern.
At the start of the fight, walk up to middle platform, swing 7 times and then full jump with an upslash.
For the consecutive cycles walk up the middle and then full jump. Walking up the middle won't mess damage rotation for any other attack, so doesn't really have any downsides: https://clips.twitch.tv/PolishedCrepuscularOstrichSuperVinlin-cxv3M8Hksrsac7R2
