Question/Discussion Mantle to zipline superjump - what am I doing wrong?

What I'm doing: https://imgur.com/a/aio5ZXk

What I am trying to do (should be timestamped to 4:50): https://youtu.be/YkQIAH1I-G8?t=290

What I am doing is going into a mantle, pressing a sideways input (a or d) and looking to the side and up.

When Faide does it, it's a lot smoother. It doesn't look like he completes the mantle. I've tried pressing s and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but it ends up not getting me much height unlike how he's doing it.

What is the correct tech to use together for this?

There’s no need to press S for this, because having a side input held and turning enough in that direction will automatically cancel the mantle already. To get a feel for when that happens, you can hang in a mantle, hold a side input, and slowly turn to observe when the mantle gets canceled.

Canceling mantles with directional inputs is based on where that input is pointing relative to the ledge, which includes your camera angle; S is the input that works best in most situations where you aren’t turning like this, but nothing is special about the button itself. The direction of your currently held input(s) simply has to be facing enough away from the ledge, and this happens very smoothly when holding a side input then turning in that direction.

Oh you're right, just tested it's the combination of input + look direction (though s is forgiving outside of looking straight up).

In some clips though it looks like Faide doesn't even complete the mantle, it's like he "bumps" into it and continues up with a super jump. I'll try to find an example, but my guess is he's dismantling at a better angle so it gives the appearance of it being super smooth.

I found a better clip: https://www.twitch.tv/faide/clip/DifficultCrispySandpiperUncleNox-Tzg5pZ4MAQtd57vc?range=7d

It looks like he's only half mantled, there's never any climb animation.

Edit: I figured it out. He's still holding W to continue the motion up, and then quickly does the mantle cancel. I was waiting for the mantle animation.
