Well, here is my 5th installment of Super Punch-Out!! submissions. This one is a slight improvement over Phil submitted movie.
The improved time is Bald Bull, which was taken down from 0:08.62 to 0:08.24
Like the previous movies of this game, my submission aims for fastest clock time, which often conflicts with fastest real time. It aims for fastest real time as a secondary goal.
This improvement is no exception, while it is a .38 clock improvement (what would be a 15 frame improvement), the net is only 6 frames since the change in strategy has a longer "fall down" animation. Also 2 "magic" frames appeared (possibly timing differences from 1.502 to 1.51) along the way. As a result, this movie is 8 real frames faster.

Thanks
I would like to thank Phil for continuing to look for faster strategies.
Improvements for the future
None that I know of. I tested thoroughly each strategy and only came up with this 1 improvement. Then again, so did Phil, and so did I the previous submission. The Piston Hurricane time sat at 5.5 for a long time until Phil found a rather obvious improvement that everyone had over looked. So who knows! Maybe we can continue to improve these record times...
Truncated: Accepted as an improvement to the current version.
