About>
1>Using double floor jump in level 3, saved much of frames,though i lost some.
2>I used spread gun from level 5 onwards.
3>I preferred killing enemies and objects somewhere,rather than not to be.
4>Thanks to soig & zyr2288.
Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: Hello emi3d, and welcome to TASVideos. Unfortunately, your movie appears to be suboptimal, as it loses several seconds compared to the currently published pacifist run of this game, which also only uses one player. For this reason, I'll have to reject your movie.
Better luck next time!

I want to say No because of this but I'll stay silent for now. Edit: Since branch name showed up (finally) and the link Moth posted I vote No.

This run beats this record as well. Haven't seen the run yet, but I am not expecting a lot.

The pacifist run of this game also only uses 1 player, and is several seconds faster than this run. So yeah, it's evidently not optimal.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Voting No because the run is clearly suboptimal. You will want to study the currently published runs to get an idea of how to save a lot more time from your run.

No vote for an obviously poorly optimized run…
