Final version.

Not final version. I make more tests tomorrow.

36277810643532219's input with 36235074406613720's ending.

Converted to Hawk. Updated to the Hawk's latest ending input. Updated the Rerecord count to match what the Hawk side has updated between the fm2 and the 1 frame away. 1 frame away again.

First room exited 5f faster than previous, thanks to more interupt testing.

It's what happens when you don't get credits.

That spam that used to be there yo.

Redid the whole glitch section to match FCEUX's less accurate emulation. The final Start input now is usually needed to be held for a second frame to prevent a crash (and allow a warp to the credits instead).

Unless frames were saved before the slope clip, I can't see any way to improve this further.

Just a test, not in any way optimized

192 subpx ahead at frame 1231 and -3 lagframes. Not enough to save a frame.

yes, it's one frame faster.
Clipping is improved.

8393f faster.
Bad TAS, rerecords < 10x frame-count.

8242f faster.

7971 frames faster

7771 frames faster.

7679 frames faster.

7615 frames faster.

7431 frames faster.

7323 frames faster so far.

83 frames faster than last WIP.

Clipping in 6-4 is about 70f faster. Couldn't inhale both enemies from the top of the platform, it was close though, maybe I can get that working.
7077f faster totally.

Very much fun going back to world 5 to kill an addionl enemy to cycle the RNG for an ~10f improvement in the first room of 6-1.
6841 frames faster totally.

Finally back to this game. 6581 frames faster totally.

Posting a WIP, so nobody gets sad.
6479 frames faster.

Now 827 frames saved over last WIP, due to clipping in 5-2.

Saved 5200 frames so far.
Saved 133 frames in the second room in 5-5.
Slope clipping in 5-5 is slower by 143 frames.

181 frames saved over last WIP.

4690 frames saved so far.

Not dead.

111 frames faster in 5-1, 4472 total.

Saved 4359 frames over published movie.

64 frames faster than last WIP.

Improved by 35 frame over my old WIP.

55.9 seconds saved.

Saved 48.15 seconds so far.

98 frames improved over the last WIP

27 frames faster

should crash a few seconds later

newppu sync

try to verify this. should lead to credits or a "dark orange" background color.

World 2 is done.
Improved 30 second so far.

Finally!

I think there's still room for improvements.

Yay lag frames.

No UFO glitch, I just made for showing purpose so I didn't optimize at all :p

Probably final version. Maybe...

Another WIP. Wall clipping is optimizable.

Just uploaded in case someone wants to optimize the wall clipping. Should save around 2-3 frames.

I was able to save 10 frames on room 1 by dashing through sparky instead of jumping through it which saves a lot of lag frames too. The only problem is, that it generates much more lag frames in the early part of room 2, therefore I couldn't preserve any improvements.

What I'm trying to achieve is resync the RNG (jumping an extra time before sparky) and sacrifice as many (lag) frames as required to avoid the lag frames on room 2 early part.

Note that the movie only edited to 1330th frame (you need to remove 10 frames before room 2's input part).

Try to use mugg's or Masterjun's lua script. For whatever reason, the game doesn't wants me to start running with "top" speed at the slope.

1 frame saved by better clipping.

Only the ending changed.

Comparison to my previous movie: - 4 frames improved by better boosting and lag frame removing at room1 (exits 4 frames faster) - 4 frames improved by better lag frame removing (exits 4 frames faster, 8 total) - Nasty lag frames everywhere.... wall clipping optimizible, probably saves the improvements back.

This version based on Masterjun's latest attempt.

- Lag frames avoided by swallowing 3 enemies at room 1 (avoiding the lag caused by taking damage/creaure explode), sacrificing position and using Masterjun's lua script I avoided more frames, making to the exit in 1344 (1348 for Masterjun, 1347 for my earlier "1 frame improvement"). >> 4 frames

- I think somewhere I got an extra speed in the early part of room 2. Some lag frames avoided. Exits at 1871 (1876 for Masterjun) >> 5 frames

- RNG changed a little bit. overall: 2178 frames (2183 for Masterjun)

Possible improvements... - Different approach to "cliff" at end of room 1? - Different jumping to "cliff" at end of room 2? - Different slope wallclipping before warping?

3 frames improvement in room 1. Everything after that just "resynced". Can be optimized furthermore and will later.

This is probably my fastest time...

not sure if it will lose time in room 3 though...

Leaves the level 1 frame earlier by different ending (running and dash and U). Good luck with syncing.

2239 frames (0:37.26)

:P

3 frames improved by optimizing the clipping and ending. more details in earlier uploaded wip.

I heavily optimzed TASEditor's last effort. I have absolutely no idea how to optimize the very last part.

Some improvements: subpixel position optimizing, better speed at level 2 slope, better jumping and fall off at level 1 last dash and level 2 "river" (what I mentioned earlier), better dash, better ending (have no clue that I really improved it).

Yeah Framewars!

Frames from 1180 to 1338 was changed. Saves 3-4 frames I think (loads next level 4 frames faster). Doesn't sync to the end! just demonstrates.
