Even faster abyss drop using the door wcs, saves 0.4 to Stratus' version.
You need to upslash just before moving left, since you still have wcs and will just grab the wall again otherwise.

Visual cues:

  1. go neutral out of the wcs when you're approximately at the center height to the right of the platform with the geo rock on it
  2. Inv drop within this area below the platform, it's a fairly tight window, about 3-4 frames
  3. close inv once the tall platform on the right side of the image is gone from your screen

These dashes lines up shade cloak's cooldown well so you can buffer dashes and prejump --> shade dash through the last batch of frogs before Marmu, assuming you don't need to heal and dream nail the mossflies. You can still land into a frog at the end of the dash but this should ensure you take 1 hit at most.

Use minihops to reach the platform I shade dash off to save the shade cloak charge (this is faster anyway). Then dash after landing and do the next couple dashes quickly enough so you get two normal dashes for every shade dash. It is a little bit harder to get soul this way but you can get extra hits on the frogs pretty safely.

Doing this wiggle saves ~0.4s compared to doing the lookdown

cdash early control from shade cloak on 1.4+. Need to tap up+dnail as soon as the scene name changes to Menu_Title (-33.0, -2000.0) (idk cue for when you don't have mods on, just need to learn timing) then hold cdash. first found by yihou i think
