Awesome, good luck! I'm interested in what you can come up with. I would also like to remind you of
this post from the published movie. mikwuyma pointed out that backwards jumping is actually slightly faster than running. At least in theory, since you will also have to consider turning around afterwards.
Here's some more info to help you out:

Lua script: I made a quite special lua script for this game. I remember someone else making a lua script where you could click on the window to achieve some effect. I tried it out and came up with a lua script where you can click on boxes on the screen in order to perform combo hits. I don't remember actually using it much, but it could be fun to fiddle around with. I've put it here:

Some random data I've scribbled down, might be helpful:
Running You move at the constant speed of 2p/f
Turning around This stops you for 7 f
Punching, then continue running This stops you for 10 f
Punching, then turn around and run This stops you for 16 f
Laying kick, then continue running This stops you for 26 f
Laying kick, then turn around and run This stops you for 32 f
Landing from a jump, continue running This stops you for 5 f
Hitting an enemy with a jump kick Stop for 1 frame when the enemy is hit
Damage table:
Attack Damage Frames until damage Frames between attacks Wait frames after attack, same dir Wait frames after attack, Other dir
Laying kick 3 7 19 26
Hit 2 6 11 12 18
Throw 4 35 38
Triple combo 8 41
Four combo 15 90 91
This game is a lot trial and error in order to find the fastest strategy. It's quite fun to try out different ways of finishing enemies, and you often need to plan ahead for the next wave of enemies.
