Dragon glitch testing.

Just one more boss before the last area.

Done with the Graveyard. Just on miniboss (which won't take long) one real boss and the final area to go.

Done with the most annoying part of the game.

The Ice section of the graveyard is finally done.

Saved 199 frames cleaning up lower HT.

Done with lower Halloween Town, but I'm still looking to tweek some things.

Graveyard doneish

Gotten back to working on this game. The graveyard should be done soon.

446 frames ahead.

For some reason this file likes to desync when selecting "watch from beginning" in BizHawk. Selecting the file directly works just fine, though.

It turns out this game doesn't reset health every stage, so getting through the first stage without taking damage is much better in the long run.

314 frames saved off of the current publication of this horrible game (also more rerecords).

The new boost energy route is complicated at the moment. If everything goes like I plan then this set up for the energy should work. If not then I'll just have to go back and redistribute the energy in the elevator. The goal is to avoid having to go out of the way to pick up the x4 pellet in one of the later stages. Regardless, at the moment I'm ahead of the publication by 2 frames!

I fixed the end of the 2nd Maintenance Tunnel and saved 43 frames on the Sentinel glitched fight. I'm now 14 frames ahead of the publication (before the loading times kill it). 500 frames saved in total.

Level-by-level, I'm about 7.1 seconds ahead of the publication.

6 frames saved in the gas room and 14 frames saved in the wiring shaft

Saved 58 frames on Alkali Entrance - up to 172 frames saved from stage-by-stage comparison to the current publication.

811 frames saved during the Sabretooth fight.

Optimizing bomb usage was a nightmare.

Due to using BizHawk the loading time before the file select ended up costing me 191 frames over the VBA-made publication. Despite this, I was able to save 6 frames off of the first stage by itself.

New stuff starting around frame 36370

I decided to restart the TAS after all on Bizhawk 1.10.0 after I realized that I should've picked hard mode for the last WIP. The only thing it affects is that there are more enemies thrown about and some of them (not all) have higher HP. Sometimes a whopping 2 HP!

Also Treblor actually aims at J during the mini-boss fight in Manhattan.

This game is stupid hard at a lot of points if you're playing real time. My goal is to make it look easy.

If you're wondering why this isn't in the newest version of Bizhawk it's because I've actually been working on this since before my Catwoman TAS was completed -like, December- and already restarted 3 times for emulator revisions. I'm at a good point into TASing this fairly short game and I'm not going to restart (read: delay) it again since it syncs up just fine in the newer version anyhow.

Due to a miscalculation with the damage I would have to take in the Pumpkin Patch I had to redo the exit out of Dr. Finklestein's lab.

On the bright side I took an extra 20+ frames to pick up the extra needed health (in the room outside of the Snake room), yet I leave the area only 12 frames slower. I found a couple small optimizations on the last few screens.

This is where health management is going to be a huge hassle. I've got three minibosses to face in this area, all of which I optimally have to take damage from, and I have to not die while traversing the first half of the area. The second half of the Pumpkin Patch (after the minibosses) gives you an unskippable shrunken head so I just have to survive until then.

$5774 - 2 byte>unsigned = Snake Boss health address.

By the way, the post-boss dance is longer than the fight itself.

Finally seeing a few slight benefits of the Japanese text. Besides that, I'm making good time. I've saved a little less than 4 seconds over my last English wip.

I'm up to Mega Spider who's going to be a pain to optimize (like all of the other bosses). Regardless, I've spent a lot of time finding ways to kill enemies without losing anytime whatsoever, hopefully to add (more) entertainment value to the run.

I'm now restarting the TAS for the eighth time, this time using the Japanese version. This WIP saves 127 frames off of my last English WIP (the Japanese version up to this point only saves 109 frames, the rest came from strat changes).

I haven't gotten far, but I wanted to upload this for archival reasons.

What it says on the tin.

All of this for eleven extra frames (I'm 1194 frames ahead of the publication if you're keeping up).

1183

I redid Scene 3 so that I'm now 557 frames faster than the current publication.

494

Now we're up to 477 frames over the publication.

A 415 frame improvement on the first "Scene" of my first submission/publication.

Roughly 1/4 of the way done. Seriously.

Not gonna lie, I thought "snow forest 1" would have a bit more snow in it.

This game is long (well long to me anyway), I'm not even half way through. At this point I'm going to be taking a slight break from this TAS. Hopefully not too long, though.

Finished one quest in the Pumpkin Patch, but it only gets harder from here to manage health.

I had to restart the TAS after finding a few new movement optimizations. This game is fairly long (compared to other games I've TAS, which isn't saying much) so I'm not even that far into it at this point.

Finally through with the second level.

1st level completed

This covers the first level up until the first boss. More research is required before fighting this guy (an HP address would be nice for instance).

Reuploading this after fixing the speed values (I forgot to set them to signed before).

Just two more stages to go. Well, 1 and a half since the last stage is pretty short.

This covers all the way until stage 7

This covers up until about the half way point of the game.

1147 frames and two rooms were saved from my last WIP. This was due to better movement tech and finding a time-saving exit in room 2.

Catwoman: The Quest for Frank the Bunny's Head.

Just playing around with the game a bit. I kinda like the mechanics so far and might attempt a full TAS eventually.

A more optimized version of my previous strats. This only covers through the elevator shaft.

Quick update. I revamped the final boss fight with overall better planning.

A must see Sentinel fight. I might rework the Sewer level but I'm happy with this for the moment.

This covers the beginning through Juggernaut fight.

This is a very rough draft of this run. I'm still just playing around with ideas for now. This section covers Omashu.

It's not a toomah.

There are some weird audio hiccups but not bad for a start, I guess. Not to mention the re-record count glitching back to 10.

Put da cookie to da back, baby.
