The −1 stage is completely different. In the NES and Unisystem versions, the −1 stage repeats infinitely and cannot be completed, but in FDS, it can be completed, and then come −2 and −3.

The −3 stage in FDS is a castle level, and completing it ends the game, even though it says "princess is in another castle". The princess is not seen in the ending, but she is sighted twice in the −1 stage, as shown in this movie.

This is a 43 frame improvement to the previous movie; 42 frames of which were due to a glitch discovered by klmz. For details on this glitch read the submission text of the normal run.

This is Phil's first contribution to Bionic Commando. It is an improvement of 12.36 seconds over the previous run and proves he is a cat burglar.

Like the precedent movie, this movie uses several techniques for speed:

• (Ab)using monsters as a platform for shortcuts
• Optimized usage of weapons
• Luck abuse for items (Ⅱ and Ⅲ) ― nearly impossible to duplicate
• (Ab)using the main character as a critical hit weapon at bosses
• Using bottles to restrain and pass through enemies

This movie is interesting, because the game is complex and difficult and the soundtrack is good.

This movie features the Sypha path, which is 2:37 slower than the Alucard path played by Genisto.

The author of this movie manipulates luck so that Mister Jumpman (who later became Mario) never needs to jump over, wait for, or otherwise evade deadly objects.

Note: Previously, every attempt at this game had been rejected ― either because the movies had been imperfect or just because the game is too simple.
(Isn't it? Even the video codec thinks that it can encode the movie without loss at a mere 251 kbit/s rate.)

But persistence prevailed (take no hint!); the competition between players entailed a movie's publishing. Soon thereafter, it was improved 4 more times. Here's the latest version, made by Phil.

The following other authors should be acknowledged for their contributions:

• aaa2: the first person who submitted a Donkey Kong movie
• CoolBumpty: submitted a much better movie
• OmnipotentEntity: submitted the first movie that was published
• Arc: submitted movies with improved tactics on levels 2 and 3
• Bisqwit: for discovering how to avoid jumping in the last level

This latest completion by Phil beats the previous movie by 11 frames.

This is the first of Phil's Double Dragon movies published on the site (but his 2nd attempt). It is a fairly good attempt that does a good job of weapon use including the dynamite glitch (which kills enemies without the dynamite igniting).

Released on many systems, this game was so popular they even released it for cellular phones and made a board game. Even a hollywood movie has been made.

This is our 2nd Double Dragon movie by Phil (his 3rd attempt). It is about 40 seconds faster than his previous attempt. It saves some time by getting baddies to group together and then beat them up at once.

In this version, the author uses the "flying knee" technique more often but still manages to keep it as interesting as the precedent version.

This is not a perfect timeattack. To make it perfect would require using the "flying knees" technique almost all the time, and it would be somewhat boring to watch. This movie uses different techniques more.

Selected notes from the author:
One of the games with the most randomness I have ever seen. Each game has a different starting location for the player and even Jason Voorhees himself.

This is the first attempt by Phil which completes an incredibly random game fast. This movie uses the same route as future versions. Newer versions achieve better luck manipulation.

Phil bested the predecessor movie by over a second thanks to better luck manipulation and decreasing the amount of jumps.

This movie aims for lowest in-game time. The completion times for each floor are: 1552, 1558, 1552, 1545, 1550.

Like its predecessors, this run uses the famous code 007 373 5963 to jump directly to Mike Tyson and deliver a pounding :) He is defeated at 2:08.xx in round 1 which surpasses any console world record.

All of the tricks are however the same ― tricks which were invented by various authors, such as Sleepz and Genisto.

The American version of this game is a lot more difficult than the Japanese one (Mad City), although this video makes it seem easy.

P.S. Check the picture and guess who won the duel ;).

The previous Zelda movie which was designed together by many masterminds at the Nesvideos forums and played by Sleepz has now been beaten by Phil by 86 seconds because of tactical changes mostly.

The Up+A trick (save and restart) was used in this movie several times. It was judged to be acceptable because it's mentioned in the instruction booklet of the game, and is a part of normal playing.

This video is certainly quite a surprise to anyone who has used hours and hours exploring the Hyrule world. :)
