@SomeDeliCook: haha no but just the vibe i'm getting is that a perfect run is the focus of Dustforce, whereas in meat boy it was about just getting through the level. also, there are pretty generous checkpoints, but getting through a level on more than one life gives you no chance of an S rank.
Played 2-3 levels so far and it's fantastic. Not as hard as super meat boy (in that levels are easier to finish, although I'm still pretty early on so the challenge might ramp up), but you need to have a near-perfect run of a level to unlock new areas. It's got that meat boy/trackmania vibe where you'll be constantly restarting the level at the slightest mistake you make because getting a perfect run is just that satisfying. The art style, animation and the soundtrack are all fantastic too, and the controls are surprisingly smooth for a PC platformer (there's no native controller support but I guess you could use Joy2Key).
Hopefully there'll be a quick look of this one so it gets some more attention, at $9 it's great value (50 levels, local co-op and a level editor on the way).
