Here is a comparison video. Notice...I had to use "Normal", since there is no hard difficulty for a WR. Yet, this TAS demolishes it on hard.

Oh yeah, so you see… I simply never tried to skip the intro cutscene on Venom lol. Can’t really explain why, though.
Should be an easy fix, although I might have to redo the golem fight since the pillars that shoot out of the wall are rng.
I also have a 20 frame improvement on Katina skip I might try to work in (but I’m still chasing the complete improvement mentioned in the submission text)
And lastly, I see a potential improvement on Bolse thanks to that video. I’m gonna take some time to work on this and let you know when I’m done.
Well, I am sorry to bring up more hardship, but I'm glad that video helped to find more.
I'll put this submission on delayed and will await your return.
Thanks!

Hey WarHippy. Here is your "Mission by Mission" comparison.
Because of this new comparison, I did find something that is concerning. The last mission seems to have something extra that is skipped in the WR. Can you explain that descrepancy?

Thanks for the comparison! But I think that both videos should align on the first frame of Corneria since this is supposed to match RTA timing.
(Even more ideal would be aligning the start of each stage with each other, that way it’s clear what the difference is between each level. But I know that’s a lot of extra work.)
I wondered about that.
I'll get you a second one. It will be later tonight though.

Yes, this is ready. The last couple of edits I've made today were about the memory addresses that control the board layout because I've looked a little more into it and my initial comments were a little wrong but that doesn't have any impact on this TAS. I did make sure while working on this that when I found a solution I would also try little variations to see if I could save a move somewhere or there was some other way through that required less menuing and this submission is a result I am happy with
Ok. Thank you. btw, great work! :)

I'm shocked that 13 frames were found. I just want to make sure that you are done, as I'm ready to pass this along to the publishers.

Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't sure, but it seemed to be mote than what humans could have done.
So this means your run is even more impressive. Great job on this !

All runs of the game I could find, be they TAS or unassisted, are aiming for score instead of speed. This TAS appears to be the first attempt at a pure speedrun of the game. The gameplay doesn't look too polished to me, with liberal use of autofire instead of only using selected shots, but it is faster than all those existing runs that aim for score. Looks good enough to me.
Glad to hear this. I wasn't able to find a "true" speed run either.

This submission is visibly not optimised. Take WhiteHat94's WR: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzA7UNLsInk - when I time it next to the submission using the same start/end frames, the RTA run beats the first boss two seconds faster. No vote.
This is why I like to make comparison videos. The first boss fight is faster for the WR.

But now, I am pursuing the new updated version. I will report back on my analysis of it.

I just realized this submission is already one step away from publication. How come things have happened so fast? I never knew a submission could stay in the delayed status for such a short time. I thought it could stay delayed for months.
I didn't expect to find an improvement just a few days after submitting. Asking for updates after just 1 week seems a bit unrealistic to me, given the difficulty of this game. I guess I should've canceled this submission instead of asking for a delay.
Hello CaseyTAS,
I wanted to follow up regarding your submission. We are currently managing more than 100 active submissions across several team members, so we need to keep requests moving through the process as efficiently as possible.
At this point, you have a couple of options:
If you need additional time, we can often accomodate an extension. However, we do ask that submitters remain in communication with us throughout the process. It's been 16 days since your last post, and I have personally attempted to reach you this past week without success.
If you're not ready to proceed at this time, you may cancel the current submission and submit a new request once you have the necessary updates available.
Please understand that we have a significant volume of work in progress, and it becomes difficult for us to reserve resources indefinitely when there is limited engagement on a submission.
Going forward, we ask rhat you remain responsive so we can continue working with you effectively. If we do not receive updates for an extended period, we may need to close the submission to ensure we can focus on other pending requests.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to hearing from you.

I thought it would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison, between this submission and the previous publications.
I was surprised to see how far behind the new movie got, before it started taking off.

Why did you slow down at the end of last lap before Silence (at around 9:55 in the encode) to get Rank 2? Does it speed something up? Some cutscene skip?
Lapping statistics after Silence is unskipable, right?
Coming in 2nd place will skip cut scene time. On the last track of each league, that technique will not work.
As for skipping the "End of League" review, it is not skip-able by any input.
I have made two videos to demonstrate the time differences between coming in 2nd and going for 1st place on all tracks. These will show you the differences and why I chose 2nd place finishes.

It's because I don't know where I was going to end the game Because it has 2 loops
Then I was left wondering whether I should do 1 loop or 2
To be honest, I wanted to do it in one loop
(Sorry for the bad English)

According to https://www.wikihouse.com/stg/index.php?STG%A5%E9%A5%F3%A5%AF%B0%EC%CD%F7 , ソニックウィングス 1-ALL is a 16/50 (unofficial community difficulty scale) whereas 2-ALL is a 27/50.
So doing two loops is necessary for exhausting the game's content, reaching maximum difficulty and maximum scoring potential.
