Hey Alex! Welcome to DKF.

I wonder if it's possible to get up that ladder on the conveyor board before it comes down and makes you wait...

Otherwise this is a snappy run. I suppose the technique on the rivet board could be explored more since it's not as 'linear' of a board to traverse.

It's a remix of Turquoise Hexagon Sun by Autechre. Was taken during a radio mix in 2010

Thanks mate.
I've got very close to getting up the ladder multiple times, but every time it'd go down and pull me slightly down with it. This is still really good as it keeps me right up top of the shrunk ladder: an area I wouldn't be at if I played a bit slower.

You can't beat the ladder before it retracts, but you can technically (TAS-nically) climb it anyway.  :D


The TAS rivet pattern is:


It's risky to do the "touch 'n go" but certainly doable. Otherwise, crossing and jumping across the rivets slows that pattern down to be about the same as a regular weave pattern (the pattern you'd probably end up doing beyond level 2 anyway). (Also, you might save a frame in the top left by going up the outside ladder first towards the prize, opposite of what's in that video...haven't tested it, and it would need frame-perfect inputs anyway).
