The most fucked up short star I've ever done.
I practiced this for over 10h and my consistency was still really low. In fact all that practice didn't help me at all, I felt like I only got worse.
The collision is insanely awful and the moving thins literally never work. You have to do all of that twice, since you need to get back from the panel. And after all of that you have to do the final jump back on the main path and that jump is ABSURDLY precise. It requires a non retryable, perfect height, perfect flick, arch firsty of the moving thin. And even with that you can still just miss the next wall. I practiced it a lot and so often I seemingly did everything perfect, but for some reason it wasn't enough. My consistency was AT MOST 1/30 with that jump, especially because you often also just get collisioned on the thin wall or miss the moving thin.
That's why this grind was really frustrating. After 2 days of attempts I still wasn't able to get even one attempt to that jump. I finally get an attempt there and somehow first try it and also did not choke the ending, which I just can't believe.
