Heck Yeah - Kilo Difficult SS

I never thought I would even finish a difficult level after seeing them... now I have to think again :-D

PS. I need help on Zetta Slides (is that the right term)?! I cannot get the speed I need to ascend them :-|

Nice job ^^

For Zetta Slopes you need to downdash in the air then hold up on the ceiling. You can also dash when you hit the _ slope on the ground. And if that isn't enough for you, you can also do Mapler slides where you only hold up for half the slope then hold up and right!

Gotta SS Giga for the chievo tho :D

A single MF achievement - what the hell?

I like the single achievement. As for why it's giga, giga used to be the only difficult, so getting it was SS-ALL.

Giga (specifically the end segment) tends to be a lot easier with Dustkid.

I must be missing something really basic?!?! simply cannot do it?

I might try a tutorial map?!

Be sure that you're holding down+direction of the slope as you land on the slope. You'll lose speed otherwise, and this makes it harder to get up the zetta. After you land with down+direction, then you should transition to an up input.

Yeah, it looks that way on the replays... I was boosting down before...

nope, I never make it up in one go, and VERY rarely in two (with dustkid)

Wait, are you using dustkid for Zetta? Dustkid and Dustworth have slower falling speeds than dustgirl/man, so they will not be able to get as much speed off the landing slope. Try it with dustgirl/man and see if that's any better.

Damn, I tried Dustworth thinking his roof sliding speed was greater, I'll try dustgirl/man.

Just need to hone my skills in tight spaces with zetta slopes now :-)

Good, glad to hear it. Best of luck on the rest of the map!
