I was somewhat disheartened to see Sonic's lack of respect for the laws of physics still in place. Post-publication yes vote.

In the normal encode, there are a few places where Bass disappears from a frame or two in Commando Man's stage. All instances seem to be after landing from a jump and immediately dashing on quicksand. The youtube encode doesn't seem to show this, probably becuase it encodes at 30fps. I'm using mpc; is anyone else seeing (or not seeing) the same thing?

Stitchface redrop combos FTW. As the comments say, "Kabuu (turnip) >>>>>>> Tabuu".

Somewhere in 2004/2005. Cousin showed me Morimoto's SMB3 TAS, labelled as a "Time Attack". Found "Mock", Morimoto's Rockman 2 TAS. Arc' site -----> NESvideos, later TASvideos. I think it was Bisqwit's Rockman TAS, the 18:21.xx "ninjas must think beyond normal", that really caught my eye.

Nice and quick! Funny, I don't remember the stages being THAT short. For the intro stage boss (Skullhead), I recall that X can hit him with two uncharged buster shots per jump, for a total of 4 damage (invincibility isn't triggered for the first hit, I believe.) This means that X only needs 8 cycles (2x2=4 damage, x8=32 HP gone), which has 7 invincibility cycles, compared to Zero's 11 cycles (3x11=33 damage), and has 10 invincibility cycles. Feel free to correct me if I'm completely wrong, as it's been a while since I've played this game, back when there was an real-time speedrun being considered on SDA.

Yeah, and you can't have channel comments on your main page anymore. They're hidden on a different tab, and then underneath a button. This sort of thing really destroys the community.

I was wondering where they went. So freakin' counter-intutive, all these changes.

C-C-C-C-COMBOBREAKER?

Another points improvement: In 1-1, chain the two flies near the end of the level to gain 400+800 instead of 400+400 points.

Huh, guess not.

Well, in any case, I'm really looking forward to more WIPs from you. Will we be seeing any elf usage this time?

I'm pretty sure there are 10 EX skills (4 buster, 4 saber, 1 chain, 1 shield). Will you try to get as many forms as possible? (Active, Erase, etc.) I know Proto form is unlocked through beating the game and playing hard mode, and Ultimate requires using all the elves, which first requires raising them.

Out of curiousity, if you made a TAS with Knuckles AND ultra-spindashes, would he still be considered a suboptimal character (in comparison to Sonic AND ultra-spindashes)?

Saw the run on nico. Yes vote. DrJones, don't think of this as a Touhou Project TAS. Think of it as a Rockman TAS featuring Touhou characters.

Ferret Warlord linked to a similar video above. In any case, it seems X cannot get that armor part without Falcon Armor, as the Sigma viruses don't grant invincibility for X; they only drain his health rapidly once he has been infected with enough virii. EDIT: If Bernka's new 100% WIP uses both X and Zero, we may end up seeing this trick used after all.
