It's not a test WIP, it's the actual run. Does it look that bad? =\ And yes, you do need to backdash on the exact right frame. I use turbo because it saves me the trouble of finding the right frame. If it doesn't work the first time, all I need to do is reload, advance 1 frame and now it will work for sure.

No, it looks great. This was the only problem for me, that it was maybe useless that you backslide 2 times. But now I know the reason, so its great. Other problem is my slow PC, so GBA Emulation has no big speed by me. So it looks slow for me, but I am sure it is great done. I like the critical hits by the Bosses and most enemies. So I see much luck manipulation here.

I had an idea for a funny gimmick run like the reverse boss order Super Metroid run. In this game, you meet Death four times: 1. Introduction in marble corridor A 2. Meeting in clock tower A (activation of the circular warps) 3. Lydie's kidnapping in castle top floor A 4. Fight in Luminous Cavern A With door glitching and quicksave + soft resetting, I could do these 4 in reverse order.

Kaz discovered an awesome "knockback" glitch with the double jump. Here is a quick and dirty movie I made showcasing the glitch on candles. It seems to work on anything that you can kick off of. This TAS is gonna own, but Kaz has to start over from the feather... :( Edit: Here is another movie I made out of boredom. Thats probably not the best place to show it being used rapidly though.

Kaz, I just want to offer some encouragement! This is going to be a phenomenal run to watch when it's complete. At least you don't have to redo any of the luck manipuation with the early enemies before the feather :)

This can't be called a whip launch.

It's extremely time consuming, there are so many variables to test and consider. I'm not really good at making TAS so I feel quite overwhelmed. Having to redo parts I hated the first time because of the knockback glitch is disheartening. Progress is extremely slow, I'm not even close to where I was when I restarted. I haven't touched it in a while, I'm doing other things. If you want to pick it up, go ahead. The finished product will be better for it. I'll tell you my good ending route (which I'm 99% sure is optimal) and everything I discovered.

Well, it's a bit sad to hear you quit Kaz, but on the other hand, you may be sure that the game will be treated well if JXQ picks it up. Cheers. :)

I would love to see this game done. I just wanted this to get up to the top so people don't forget about it.
