How to solve 5-4?

Question

What I do is, all while holding the running button:

• Run off the platform and jump
• Jump then hold jump for a little longer to climb that extra height
• Jump off the wall onto the left.
• Jump off the wall onto the right.
• Reach slightly above the first repulser
• Reach slightly above the second repulser
• End up on the wall below Bandage Girl.

From there I'm stuck. If I try to jump back on the second repulser, I don't gain enough altitude to reach the ledge.

Am I screwing up with the double-repulser jump? Am I supposed to end up on that wall?

I could try using Commander Video's longer jumping capabilities, but with him I can't clear the second repulser jump, as the first doesn't gain him enough height. The other character I have is Headcrab, but it doesn't seem to be particularly useful for anything.

The A+ time is 13.5 and by the time I reach the opposite wall 6.5 seconds have elapsed, so I guess I'm not supposed to reach that ledge straight away after all. I still can't manage to pull this off however.

Answer

A quick youtube search pulled up the following video, which helps demonstrate what I'm about to tell you you need to do.

Basically, you shouldn't try to reach the wall under bandage girl, as your position on the wall there prevents you from getting enough vertical boost from the repulsor to safely clear the buzz saw. If you jump from the (safe) flat ground before the final repulsor, you can easily clear the buzzsaw, as the video shows.

Edit: Okay, now that you've posted a picture, I've misattributed the source wall of your frustrations. In that case, the answer is much simpler -- You're not supposed to end up on that wall. You need to get over the buzzsaw and inside the 2nd building from the repulsor.
