Dustforce is like Smash Bros. Break The Targets if it was a full video game and on crack.

And yeah the music is amazing. It's probably good to have such chill music for a game that you spend many, many attempts replaying to get insane times.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

I wish Dustforce had a quick-exit mode for levels because it looks pretty stupid when they manually quit each level seemingly before it's done.

Can someone explain the differences between the 4 characters? Its kind of hard to tell by just watching.

They mentioned briefly, but:

blue and red are the basic ones. One air charge, average attacks. They have minute differences in jump and fall times, but for most intents they're the same.

purple is tiny, has two air jumps but the jumps are much shorter, fast attacks but really short range.

green is the slowest on the ground, but has the highest regular jump. one aircharge. longest ranged attacks, but slowest attack speed.

Is there some kind of visual thing I can look for to see that they've completed a level SS? I know nothing about this game, and once he reaches a certain point that I assume is the end, he quits out of the level and then is on to the next level instantly.

You should see "SS" appear above the door after he exits the level. Its still hard to see since he'll obviously get away from the door pretty quick.
The other thing to check is his key count. He'll only be credited a key if he gets the SS. Since you have to get all the keys to even access the later levels, there's no way to cheat it.

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
I dunno if it's just Sivade's never endingly calm presence, but Dustforce runs are always so minimal commentary?

I feel like that's a reflection of the game, really. But I'm not sure if I'm enjoying it so much as I'm just zoning out really hard while watching it.

Super's will clear any dust with a certain range not blocked by a wall, so often some dust near the end will be cleared by super. Sometimes it will be slightly offscreen, though.

I think this is an intentional overstate, because of the unforgicing nature of the game there will be a lot of fuckups and restarts as we go into futher into the game.

...so there is a chance this is gonna be a bit longer then the estimate as well.

Dustforce is good, but it's also a challenge platformer with stupid long levels.
