Improved 1 frame for 2-2 3rd screen, resynced up to 4-1 start.
Notes:
  • 2-2 3rd screen last bitch will stab you behind if you get any pixels faster than this route.
  • 3-1 important slot 4 and half pixel manipulations for 3-2
  • unfortunately couldn't get good 3-2 first "birdy wall boost" because of slot 4 knifeguy has still bad subpos. it would save something 5 pixels minus the additional sacrifices.

20 (probably I saved 14 frames in WIP68) frames saved compared to WIP67 (which had 1 frame slower guardian of ladder tyson route) until 2-3 boss with some position sacrifices which probably required in order to glue these route fragments together.
Resynced somewhere up to 3-1 end.
Next plans:
  • try to minimize sacrifices for 2-3 bitch and afterwards (low chances)
  • try respawning enemies in 2-3 to save something
  • maybe document how to do it? (if the spawn point is still on screen and the object left the screen, you can respawn it by going backward for 1 frame. Maybe... and what happens if the slots already filled?)

Saved 4 more frames on 2-2 2nd screen. This is much faster than hitting th bottm of the ladder, since it travels only with 1.0 and Y goes down.
Can't use this trick earlier levels to save time. Bitch has wrong subpos, not sure how to manipulate it without losing any time, I've already tried a few.

2-2 2nd screen end:
  • 6 frames improved by sacrificing (edit:) 2.0px (0.5px backward) to spawn an enemy on the last frame of his current block "initialization" (green rectangle over the slot @ lua) and sommersault over the ladder. Probably improvable
Couldn't make use of this in earlier levels, trying it again.

Todo: revise game resource page (half-pixel interrupt juggling, new trick: "prespawn subpos manipulation")
After a lot of unsaving rerecords (testing a lot of different subpos changes in time): 1-1
  • Same length, unimprovable (requires suboptimal subpos changes beforehand, ruining 2-1 entirely and also requires an extra delay)
  • Delay added on final hit on boss for most efficient 2-1 manipulations (first two tysons, dog on guardian of ladder tyson and himself)
2-1
  • 1 frame saved by letting "prespawn subpos manipulation" of the guardianofladder scene walking guy. When letting go off direction for 1 frame exactly when he would spawn, his position will remain but his subposition (00 - 80). This works on every enemies except tysons of course and I guess knife tossers. Also note this only usable if you have a frame window to sacrifice 1.5px
2-2 2nd screen
  • 1 frame saved by prespawn subpos manipulating the burst guy (3 bullets) to make more optimal our route
Current problem: just a little bit subpos difference for knife toss in 3rd screen. Also the WIP contains a few improvements afterwards this level, but obviously you won't see it until I upload the resynced AND revised one.

  • Added Scumtron's 1 frame faster start (doesn't changes anything else)
  • First level's delay added to boss stage. Probably alters 2-1 route (just like the 7th slot manipulation few frames before dog manipulation)
  • Probably my 5th version of 2-1 guardian of ladder tyson route, saving another 17 frames
How it's done:
  • Sacrifice position to manipulate dog
  • Damage boost while enemy already spawned to go through him (not spawning it isn't benefitable)
  • Avoid next enemy
Pretty sure it's improvable with better positioning/subposes.

  • 2-2 3rd screen: used "highest" position (1598 for Ryu) to jump over BITCH. This way we are 14 (the frames we saved compared to WIP54 beforehand) - 5 (frames required to sacrifice in order to somehow go through BITCH without boost) = 9 frames ahead of WIP54.
  • 3-1: different lesser bitch vs dog, lost 1 frame (probably resaveable)
