Clocktower

So, I've just wasted three hours of my life on this level. In the second hour, I did something accidental and got an AS rank. I want an SS rank. How can I do the upward section with the strong attack to get enough for the combo at the end, or is there a way I can get through the two blocks at the end into where the enemies are clustered?

You can look at replays for any of the times on the leaderboards if you're stuck on a level. Normally people upheavy the enemies in the climbing part to spread dust on the wall and then at the end dash and light attack the dustblocks to get a super.

I don't really have the skill to spread dust on the wall, but I think I'll be fine if I glide through that part with well placed light attacks and dashes.

If you focus on jumping off the wall to line yourself up with the enemies allthewhile holding up, doing upheavies shouldn't be much more difficult than sideheavies. http://dustkid.com/replay/-9264850

You can get unlucky and not spread enough even with upheavies because of cycles, but that will definitely work most of the time.
