I'm confused a bit lol. I'll just be blah blahing. But from what I'm reading from you, I think you're right.
O will resemble the squares. H is ladder
-OO
-OO
-OH
You should be saved on the top right O. So, from what you said, if you're saved looking on the right or left side, you can go tilt toward the ladder and advance the frame by 2 with that single movement. Then moving on to the O below you, no frames will be advanced so you're good to go to Ho-Oh.
But yeah, I think you got it.
