Introduction

This is a basic character guide for beginners like me. Thank you IRC folk for the guidance!
PS. Check out my online Dustforce leaderboards website at http://dustworth.com.

Dustman (Blue)

Very similar to Dustgirl.
Larger light attack.
Smaller heavy attack.

Dustgirl (Red)

Very similar to Dustman.
Smaller light attack.
Larger heavy attack.
Initiates fall sooner.

Dustkid (Purple)

Smallest attacks.
Fastest attacks.
Lowest jump.
Triple jump.
Falls slower.

Dustworth (Green)

Largest attacks.
Slowest attacks.
Highest jump.
Falls slower.

Additional Notes

This is a beginners guide! For the sake of simplicity, I have taken the liberty to simplify and generalize information regarding hitboxes, acceleration, velocities, weights, etc. If you are interested in more detailed character stats and mechanics, maybe this is the wrong guide for you :)

Thanks! I'm putting this on the Wikidot. Also I realizeed that, but the character pages didn't even exsist, so I decided to atleast make them.

Sure. Which wiki? Keep in mind though, character mechanics are quite a bit more complicated than I described here. This is an oversimplified guide for new players.

If you don't mind, I'll add these to the wiki.

Clever bastards, he's basically Luigi

Updated one last time. See "Additional Notes" :)

Thanks Marksel. I didn't want to confuse that with it being a faster fall speed, so I worded it, "Initiates fall sooner."

A quick correction: Dustgirls note: " reaches falling velocity faster" is false, it should be reworded as "initiates her fall faster"

Thanks for your comments. I added an "Additional Notes" section at bottom of guide. It would be nice to expand on these subjects later, but: 1) I don't quite feel qualified on the subject yet, and 2) I have to be careful how I word this as I don't want beginners to be overwhelmed with too many details at first.

Ganondalf [author] 18 Jul, 2013 @ 12:33pm

Hmm yeah, maybe I'll make a footnote for now. So confusing for a new chap like me.
