The submission message follows:

This movie improves Ash Williams' movie by 131 frames.

Like his movie this gets the shortest possible ending, uses fang and uses the J rom.

Note: I did test to see if 2 players would be faster. But it turns out they aren't. 2 players means each players weapon does less damage. Unfortunately fang's D weapon is most affected by this (over a 60% decrease as opposed to 20-30% decreases for all other weapons). Having another player cannot compensate for the power loss of this weapon.

Improvements

• A new trick to increase sliding speed when sliding off ledges
• Better luck manipulation on the poles in level 1
• Better boss fights in the arena

Level 1 - improved by 72 frames Level 2 - improved by 3 frames Level 3 - improved by 56 frames

Summary

• Takes damage to save time
• Abuses programming errors in the game
• Manipulates luck
• Genre: Shooter

Those fights at the end were very uneven:) Good optimizations and pole manip too, I know how big of a pain in the ass they were to get just right. Yessir, good job.

Yes vote for a fast and entertaining run.

Nice slide trick. Nice flamethrower use on the bikers. Big positive vote here.
