How to get a 60x Combo consistently!

There are alot(not realy, there are like 5) places in which you can achieve such a high combo.
The easiest and most consistent one is in "The First Dream - Prologue", which just so happens to be the level you HAVE to do in any speedrun (How convinient :D).

DISCLAIMER: If I write "he" im referring to the Shambler. (German Grammar puts things "it"s into genders... so im writing he)

The setup involves the 7 Shamblers at the first big opening, after the mini-tutorial.
After you've passed the first 3 Shamblers (2 without AI, one with), don't hit any Shambler!!!
This is very important. Kicking is the only thing which doesn't deal damage.
(For practising the setup, I highly recommend placing a checkpoint down on the floor after you climb up from the room with the AI Shambler)

Next up is grouping the 7 Shamblers which shamble around the area.
Start with the ones at the right (3).
	Kick the first one to the left.
		He might go down completly, in this case ur done with him.
		Or he hits the ceiling and lands on the little platform below which is not the floor. If this happens, kick him left again.
	Kick the second one left, when he's on the left half of his platform.
		If he dies in the pit, he wasn't left enough => Suicide, try again.
		If he lands where the first Shambler was, do the above mensioned for this Shambler again.
	Kick the third Shambler to the left, when he's on the left half.
		Pretty much the same as the other ones.

I recommend doing these first, as it lowers the chance of a Shambler bouncing of another one into the pit where you climb out of in the beginning.

The 4 at the top have different strategies:
	The one on the right wall needs to be kicked right when he's as close to the wall as possible.
		He should hit the side of the little platform the 3rd from the left is standing on.
	The 3rd from the left needs to be kicked left when he's as close to the wall as possible aswell.
		He should hit the ceiling bump of the platform on which the 2nd Shambler from the left is standing on, and should fall down.
	For the rightmost Shambler, wait untill he is roughly lining up with the tunnel leading up to the 2 Bomb Imps.
		I recommend to beginners:
		Hang onto the left wall of that shaft, as soon as the Shambler is a bit left of the wall, slide down and kick.
			If he lands on the platform of the 3rd Shambler from the left, your good to go, do the same thing as before with him.
			If he lands on the platform he and you are already on, wait and try again.
			If he lands on the platform with the 2nd Shambler from the left,
			AND doesn't knock that one into the spikes, kick him to the right and try again.
			If he lands on the platform with the 2nd Shambler from the left, 
			AND does knock that Shambler into the spikes, Suicide and try again.

Now you should have 7 Shambler shambling around on the bottom floor.
I recommend saving at this point again (You can get enough blood with the blombs, and the Shamblers even further right)

Now, after you've done the setup comes the execution.
Start on the right. kick all the Shamblers left.
Run left, kick all again.

Your goal is to hit all Shamblers into the pit you came out off, before they are unstunned and beginn to run around again.
Hit all Shamblers into the pit, jump down, Highkick (kick all up).
Hold up, and hit attack TWICE.
Wait a tiny bit.
Kick up, attack upwards twice again.
Now look left, and just kick.
All should die to the spikes and you should get a 70 Combo.

Speedrun Techs

Hi,
Given that multiple people complained on reddit how there is 0 Guides for the speedrun or a discord...
Here is some stuff off the top of my head, feel free to ask questions here or on my discord DMs:

Firstly and MOST IMPORTANTLY: Dash canceling (name not "official)
Its used pretty much everywhere
When you do a dash off a ledge, and then try to jump, you will notice that you can only use your second jump which sucks.
However, if you jump WHILE dashing (aka, jumping OUT of the dash), you can get that jump PLUS your double jump; so basicly if you jump a frame before your dash ends you get maximum distance and height.

Ice Dashing (name semi official):
Used in Prologue, important for the first 4-1 oob and some random places like 2-2
Its not hard, all you need to do is dash off of an icy ledge, try it a couple of times and the timing is realy forgiving as its like a 7 frame window i think.
I usualy just hit dash when my front half is off the platform already (you can see it well in my runs as i have a frame perfect input display)

Dive Canceling / Slowfalling / Air Stalling (no offical name but we all know whats ment):
Used in theory nowhere but its so usefull incase you fuck up or do gain more distance out of a fall
Its realy realy easy, just press down, attack and jump at the same time (feel free to spam those 2 buttons while holding down), you will start diving, which has a short time with 0 velocity for the dramatic effect.
Your jump will cancel the dive afterwards, putting you into a falling state but with 0 velocity so you have to accelerate to max speed again essentially slowing your fall drasticly (dive speed is... well if youve played it its basicly A LOT (top of 3-3 tower to bottom takes 1.7s and that shit takes 20s to climb),
Meanwhile dive cancelling makes you fall at around 5 pixels a second if you spam it hard.)
You can probably guess how you gain distance with that (holding a direction and not spamming but doing it rythmicly)

Thats all the tech i can think of atm which would need explaining
Feel free to ask me questions here, on discord, or if youre smart enough to find my steam :)

PS: Since the game only has 2 Buttons we never thought someone wouldnt come up with the tech stuff as we all kinda discovered it casualy on our own...
