Now airing on Youtube, Dustgirl's Offscreen Cleaning Adventure

So this run is slower than the Dustworth run I have, which itself still has some potential improvements I'm sitting on, but it's too hilarious to not share. I got Dustgirl to about half a second slower than worth, and I was thinking "she could maybe be faster if I could just somehow get high enough to clean that leftmost platform with the first super"...

So... that's what's going on while she's offscreen in the middle. In particular, she does three light attacks on the second flying gargoyle, two of which to push it as far left as possible, and then a third backwards light attack, all spaced out to get her as much hover time as possible. Then she dashjumps to get back up to 522 since she lost speed doing the backlight, upheavies through the upper platform to hit the top walking gargoyle and get slightly more hover time, then supers. After the super she jumps, ceiling runs, and downdashes into the column of dustblocks, light attacking right and up-left to clean a little bit of floor and wall dust she missed. Then, as the camera refocuses on her, she jumps and downlights to clean the last bit of dustblocks, then ceiling runs for one frame to set up for a groundboost.

But you don't see any of that. For that reason even if this were a little bit faster, I'd probably lean towards using Worth here in a full-game TAS just so the viewers actually could see what was happening. This run still makes for a good laugh, though.

On a final note, I don't think Dustman could make for a significantly faster run here. No long ceiling slides on which to abuse maplers, only a few spots where girl's jump startup is problematic, and multiple spots where her side heavy hitbox really helps squeeze out some extra frames. Dustkid could more easily take advantage of the Offscreen Cleaning Adventure route, but loses lots of time because of her small hitboxes, so I'm just going to go ahead and call Caverns a Worth level.
