Luck manipulation

I did disassembly analysis, and I made item prediction Lua Script to optimize collection Bolts and Weapon energy. In this game, item drop pattern is divided into 6 types. But, first type's all of probability is zero. So I call this "Type 0" as a matter of convenience. Here is item drop table.
TypeLife smallLife bigWeapon smallWeapon bigBolt smallBolt big1up
000000000000000
120182018000001
230300808303001
308083030303001
418101810383003
510081008504002
These values are stored in 0xC0BA8D ~ 0xC0BABC. The numerical value which broke these values by 0x100 becomes actual probability. For example, big Bolt in type 4:
0x30 / 0x100 = 18.75%
Therefore, it comes out by the probability of 18.75%. Here is the script source code.

Fantastic improvement. My only complaint was that the glitches resulted in an eye-hurting shade of cyan over the whole screen between Pirate Man and Burner Man. Easy yes vote.

This run is great as always. To sparky, parrot14green, and woabclf: Thank you very much for all the hard work. You all deserve a . sparky: Are you encoding the run? Since you have a nicovideo channel, it seems likely that you would want to encode it.

There are enough glitches in this game to fill 5 whole normal-sized pages. Documenting them all would be a monumental task. :)

Glitchy TAS of 2011
The weapon energy refill in fortress is incredible good. Nice shock guard usage in king1 and nice zip route after re-pirate fight. Shall we have the chance to see the item prediction Lua Script.It might help to others who will tas the game. Appreciate in advance. :p Final,thank your effort and hexedit again and again,I'm exactly enjoying the whole of the movie.Thumds up for the great run!

This is a great run. Just like the previous runs, I couldn't look away in fear of missing something highly interesting. The luck manipulation is very well done and how much time you guys managed to save is unbelievable. Yes Vote!

I didn't like at all the excessive and gratuitous use of wobbling and screen shaking that made this run painful to watch. I vote meh because it was well played, but I wouldn't watch it again.
No.

I am in sort of in disbelief what I just watched because of how purely awesome it was. sparky, parrot14green, woabclf's SNES Rockman & Forte "100 CDs" in 38:07.68 equals to everything what tasing is all about; being fast as hell, jamming a huge donkey punch to the game's throat (= glitchfest) while being very entertaining. Very proud to vote yes and this game obviously requires a star. You must have fun tasing this game sparky. I know I would've smiled and laughed knowing what you did to this game :) As always, I am extremely curious what your next project is. Have a very good day my dear sir!

This game gets no respect. All those walls and platforms are just flat out ignored. A boss is caught napping and several minibosses are completely skipped.

Incredible. Pretty much anything from the King stages is unrecognizable compared to before. It's also worth noting that this is now TEN minutes faster than the original run in this category! Two questions: * In the intro stage, could you use air walking or air Tengu dashing to jump off the second moving platform sooner? It seems you have to wait quite a while for it. * How in the world are you damaging the boss when your sprite is nowhere near the boss? (the King 2 air boss, Perfect King, and Wily 1 come to mind) Absolutely a Yes vote. Even though my head hurts from some screen shaking and glitchiness, it is well worth it.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

1. First of all you have to stand on ground with strange pose(slide,walk,etc).So you need the graphic glitch to accomplete it. 2. System will record the disappeared weapon shot position when you keep strange pose on ground. 3. And then shot,you will see the weapon appear from disappear place. Also you can observe with memory address weapon1 x-axis position:7E0CC5 weapon1 y-axis position:7E0CC8 weapon2 x-axis position:7E0D05 weapon2 y-axis position:7E0D08 weapon3 x-axis position:7E0D45 weapon3 y-axis position:7E0D48 Hope the bad describe will help to you.

All that graphical corruption going on... So distracting! Is that done intentionally, or is that a side effect of being as fast as possible?
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

This was incredibly impressive. In addition to demolishing the previous run, this whole TAS is kept extremely entertaining. It's just masterful. It's among my top 5 favorites on the entire site.
