yeah, it's another room to the right of the Chaotic Realm, outside the map. You can't enter it without the scripted action.

No unintentional room exits pointing there?

The warping mechanis is still unknown... The game reads something bogus and interprets as coordinates and maybe there's a way to load it properly using the corner glitch + 0HP. (arukAdo said it's possible to reach the good endnig, and it's a room next to that one) Anyway, entering the wall in the room to it's left does not work.

Thought: does moving so that the weapon's hitbox moves in and out of an enemy multiple times per swing for additional hits work? Obviously, you'd need to be in the air for this to be at all possible. (Yes, I checked, you can change momentum while swinging.) Or does it only allow one hit per enemy per hitbox (Kaiser Knuckle has consecutive, for instance, as does Valmanway)?

does this work for any other game? never heard of it before... but you'd need to move fast for that, probably you'd need Black Panther. After you hit the enemy there's a "cooldown" timer for that weapon. I dunno how many different timers can exist at the same time, but I'll try: 1 - Main weapon 2 - Bullet Soul 3 - Guardian Soul 4 - Kick (after double jump) or Slide - Dunno, maybe they use different memory addresses...

It works for the Megaman Zero series at least.

IIRC, they are using the very 4 timers. I could be wrong though. However, I am very sure that I've ever seen for once the "cooldown" timer for the main weapon get messed up with a knife and result in faster mutiple hits than designed. But I wasn't recording then. Neither can I reproduce it :(

Yeah it's me again! I apologize for not making any progress. However I'm having more time now and I think I could continue my run. I'm really tempted to finish this one. I have made a new Boss Rush, finished in 1:10:70. Here is the YouTube version.

o.o;; Uhm.. what the f*ck.... I could not even remotely keep track of all the soul and equipment switching. Methinks I am going to have to dumb this down to 6% or slower to even BEGIN to follow. Impressive none the less though. Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

That Balore tactic was amazing. Also, using the laser cannon was not something I would have expected to see.

Balore fight was yum. Otherwise, your movie seems to lose to zggzdydp's, while klmz's page suggests that either kind of run (glitched and unglitched) can be pushed several seconds lower. No idea how, though, I'm far behind klmz on Castlevania knowledge. Also, am I the only one who noticed that you uploaded an incomplete movie to Microstorage? Watching runs in emulators surely seems old-fashioned these days. :P Anyway, I'm really glad that you're back on the warpless run, it's so overdue it's not even funny. On the other hand, by now you have accumulated so much new tricks and strategies you're going to improve the published movie by hours!

Woa, I didn't know that most bosses could be skipped like that! So the Bat-glitch seems to be the Succubus-glitch of AoS o.O I didn't upload the whole thing? I am pretty sure I double-checked the file, oh well.

@Yrr: Uh, well, it's good news to know you're still working on it. @moozooh: I made those two (glitched and unglitched) bossrush TASes (in case the "WR" word is misleading). Unfortunately, I left them on an abandoned computer. According to pirate_sephiroth, someone seemed to manage to get and encode some of my bossrush movies, and upload the videos onto some video sites. I don't remember who I shared my movies with and/or when, though.

yeah, I saw them somewhere at that bbs.cvcv.net board. the interesting part about the glitched boss rush was the return to the first room, to reset the timer... EDIT: and it seems I have lost the vbm klmz sent me back in the day.

Progress Also, higher rerecord count than frame count ftw Yeah, I collected a bit more stuff, hopefully making Death and the rest of the run faster (and more entertaining).

Still, I think taking damage to save time would be better... Anyhow, please keep at it!

> Death killed < I didn't use GA because catoblepas did more damage and costs less mp. GA probably gets useful later (in combination with red minotaur). Compared to my other run, Death got killed so much faster, thanks to my much better equipment. He can't even perform his second attack in his second form =)

Excellent stuff. But why didn't you use Lightning Doll as a finisher for Death's first form?

Indeed, that should be faster, seeing as you can't attack him at full speed with the sword there. Anyway, this run is very awesome so keep it up :)

Awesome WIP as always. Soma's fast stabbing makes me laugh. Keep going, Yrr. Note: When I played the movie for the first time, it desynced around Catoblepas. VBA seems to have a desync cause.

I checked the movie several times and it works fine for me. I will redo the death fight, using LD on the first seems more efficient. With luck-manipulation it seems that Death's second form can be attacked without ever stopping or slowing down. Oh well.

2nd Death fight Sorry for not posting any progress the last few weeks. I was a bit busy, and besides, Death was a bitch =/ The Death fight is a bit ugly, I had to duck to avoid Death's last attack. This fight is around 100 frames faster than the other one.

I wrote simple scripts which emulates RNG (ported from my PoR RNG simulator). CVAoS_RNG.lua - show how many times RNG was called per frame. CVAoS_RNG_WriteMem.lua - call RNG N times and write the final value to RAM. Edit: added simple watchlist as well - CVAoS_U.wch Edit: impressive WIP, as usual.
