This route was developped by aiqiyou and Mars608 (info found under angrylanks' 9:50 former world record).


Here is a comment from angrylanks on YouTube that can help understanding the skips, thanks to him:

"The most important factor is the jumps to the right. They have the real effect on the value for creating the skips. So all jumps to the right need to be fully so. Jumps that are vertical and to the left don't change the value. But you have to make sure on those jumps you don't ever accidentally move to the right or it will throw the value off course and ruin the skips. Another thing to note, is that edge pixels can also ruin the value. So you never want to land on the very edge of any of the ledges during the climb.
Essentially the full right statement is true, but in the context of the screen scrolling only. Since that is the determining factor of the jump scripting. So what that means is, once your jump has peaked the screen is locked and no longer scrolls. So on the descent, you are actually free to move any direction you like without effecting the value.

I recommend watching Mr. K's video about the skips also. Join the Contra Discord if you have more questions.
