This movie improves Ash Williams' movie by 131 frames.
Like his movie this gets the shortest possible ending, uses fang and uses the J ROM.
Note: I did test to see if 2 players would be faster. But it turns out they aren't. 2 players means each players weapon does less damage. Unfortunately fang's D weapon is most affected by this (over a 60% decrease as opposed to 20-30% decreases for all other weapons). Having another player cannot compensate for the power loss of this weapon.

Improvements

  • A new trick to increase sliding speed when sliding off ledges
  • Better luck manipulation on the poles in level 1
  • Better boss fights in the arena
Level 1 - improved by 72 frames Level 2 - improved by 3 frames Level 3 - improved by 56 frames

Summary

  • Takes damage to save time
  • Abuses programming errors in the game
  • Manipulates luck
  • Genre: Shooter
