There is an out of bounds technique that can save time in the final castle if anyone wants to ever improve this Link to video

I think TASers already know about this since I made a video about this 2 years ago but I wanted to make this more known since it's an interesting technique. If you press B+Up or Down for 1 frame on a ladder you grab the ladder but you keep your vertical momentum. So when you pause/unpause (or bring up the menu) you let go of the ladder but keep moving upwards if you were moving up before grabbing the ladder. This can be used through screentransitions to save some ladderclimbing. The unfortunate thing about it later in the run is that it wastes a magnet beam since you have to shoot, but it might still be worth it to do in certain places such as Wily 1 first screen after the zip. A video I made just now to showcase what you could do for a zipless run in Cut Man. Link to video The old video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03RVVaVhNWo

You can kill the wily3 boss with one less pause: http://www.twitch.tv/dabigbooi2/b/631861266?t=1m20s

That's a very cool looking strategy! I figured out how to clip into the unwrapping platforms in Hornet Man's stage if you want to investigate it further. You need to get on an even X position (easily achieved by running into a left wall) and then jump and land on this position while facing left. Works on all other platforms in that room as long as you're on an even X position.

Excellent wily 2. It's cool to see how insanely fast you can make them in a TAS. I was just wondering why you didn't kill the big momma. Did it mess up the RNG for upcoming parts?

As you see on the video I manage to not only zip off it but also ride the platform very quickly as it unwraps.

Random interesting thing in Hornet Man's stage: I managed to completely clip through the unwrapping platform. This made it possible for me to unwrap the platform but still end up on the right side of it which normally is impossible. Potential? Only seems to work well with non-projectile like weapons unfortunately.

I think this is a nice strategy for met+sniper joe room: http://www.twitch.tv/dabigbooi2/b/631405883 It's very tight to vanquish the Met before he fires his shot while still having Sniper Joe facing left. Second strategy is for real time use.

Could you get a big ammo drop from the second Shield Attacker RX in the same room instead of grabbing the ammo in the fourth screen? Love your Plug Man stage btw :)

Link to video Sharing an old video. I think this would be a superior route IF this game wasn't stupid. The game won't spawn disc 3 and end the level if you talk to Kain on this route unless you talk to the disc 2 guy first. But doing that seems a bit too slow at the moment. The perks of getting to Kain would be gaining an additional level (=more damage on Australia boss and health for stage) and the level would end after getting disc 3. We will see

I think C. Shot Plug Man is good. I messed around with it trying to find a good real time route www.twitch.tv/dabigbooi2/b/621037134?t=15s A TAS could do another zip at 0:41 and on the spikes at 0:46. Pardon me for my noobish question but how do I get your movie to play on dolphin? I get this error on dolphin 4.0-5396.
