Samsara, thanks for encode.
Short movie looks like Storybook.
CogneatoSwitch, You thought about subtitles (don't know possible in Bizhawk)?
Are you planning make more KOEI strategy? For example SNES/Genesis Genghis Khan.

Encode, please.
About difficulty: even in GameFaqs of this game written that N'sA very hard on small levels, so Skill level is not so important factor.

Behold complete testrun
Cool movie for one of the hardest (by boring monotony of acrobatic tricks) game.
Glitches makes long level more surprised. Can they be retry in last level?

Bullets are actually quite interesting in a pacifist run.
Hmm, intreresting. Can this "8-slots" rule used in NG-2 or NG-1? For example in encounters with all this crazy bats.
About your WIP. Why you not take life in 4-2A level? Or life can be named "power-up", which you forbidden?

Nice.
My favorite moments in addition to damage boosting and deaths abuse are 4-1A - ninja with raising his hands and 7-2B - bullets flying across the screen to end the level.

Awesome passing through walls, not just walking on the streets)
And nice description of Level 11 - TR33.
I guess I will be one of many who will ask you to try TASed second part.

Let me check... It's not necessary. The first arrow is simply the only way to save some HP, otherwise you just die, but saving HP that's not that critical isn't justified.

Lots of bullets are shot in this run. I figure many of them are for luck manipulation, though some are definitely for entertainment.
I think it made for a quick (for 1 frame) turning in the opposite direction. Feos wrote this somethere.

However, I'm more concerned that Darkwing Duck actively fights minions in the bossfights. For instance, in the Moliarty battle, you break the bottom machine. In the Steelbeak fight, you attack the little robots. (I think you may also attack something in the Liquidator fight.) I realize that this makes the fights much faster, but it would probably be more impressive to avoid attacking those other things.
I had pointed this in EgxHB's submission, but without answers.
About movie:
Technically, it is a good run (7-8 points out of 10), but in terms of entertainment slightly worse than previous submission(5-6). There is no falling false death in the battle with bosses. Looks like robot's art, not human)
Feos, what are you think about usage another arrow to move further on the roof like in my WIP?

And no, I wasn't going to harm enemies at all.
Barrels are not enemies) Destroing for first aid kit, but I think this can be avoid with right using of damage taking and arrow roof skip in last level.

feos, all this things are very good in frame-perfect planing and so, but what about the most important question. What are you plan to do with so-named "unavoidable" victim in last level?

I think that my questions are not so specific.
For example in the first level DWD jumps over TG sign. Visually pass, taking it, is faster, but I'm not sure. Should there and in other similar situations bypass gas, if you're not going to use it, but taking them will help you go through some places faster?
Feos, is it possible to fix the section in this submission with vertical spikes in the Megavolt level without a desync?

I am interested in the concept of this run.
You want to fix this movie or to start from the beginning and step by step to inspect possible new run?
We should discuss this here or move on to the main thread?

Great job!
The final battle with the SteelBeak is beyond all praise.
But I will abstain from voting because
1) It is not a true pacifist run, because you have victim, which can prevent or using in submission's name only "no special weapon" tag;
2) In the last battle to defeat the boss you don't have to kill his flying Robo-birds (another victims) for pacifism again;
3) TAS have a valid improvement, reflected in the DWD thread;
4) It's doesn't require the use of death, because you can get a medical kit from this lance duck or from the barrel.

If is allowed, it mean that in another game for example you can rape a girl and still get pacifist category (girl must survive). I have a little doubts that can be counted as pacifist.
I don't think that these guys in the Contra have the same moral damage, as the girl in your example.

But pacifist rules are equal for all types of damage.
If it used in one game and published without rejection I think can be tried everywhere.
I also thought about the enemies with barrels. Destroy the barrels to get the first aid kit will also be considered barbarism and cruelty?
