Maybe the tutorial part was just a misstep.

I don't have time to watch the whole video, but maybe the controls just suck?

Unfortunately, not really. The guy spend a minute and a half on the very first tall jump in the tutorial.
It was NOT a matter of doing the right thing but not finessing the controls. It's quite clear that early on
he DOES achieve the necessary tall jump without managing the Dash which the tutorial text spells out.
What does he proceed to do? NOT repeat the tall jump and try to finesse the Dash again...
He proceeds to repeatedly try low jumps smashing into column, despite that obviously not going to work.
Nothing to do with controls, he simply was dull headed and unable to focus on WHAT THE GAME SPELLS OUT.

He writes in article how he assumed you killed things by jumping on them like in Mario... 
Yet when that didn't work and he died, he didn't change his actions, but kept repeating same bad tactic.
That's just not the sign of somebody who is truly paying attention to the game he is playing.
He was on autopilot from some memory of playing Mario as a 10 year old or something.

or he was too lazy to do the gameplay himself, and had his kid do it? :P
