Deja Vu TAS by Randil

This run improves the published run by 806 frames (13.43 sec) mostly by not picking up the SNAPSHOT and not examining LETTER1.
  • Emulator used: FCEU 0.98.26
  • Aims for fastest possible time.
  • Manipulates luck.
  • Genre: Storybook.
I found that it's not necessary to either take or examine SNAPSHOT in order to beat the game. Because I don't pick this item up, I don't have to discard it in the sewers later on. All this saved ~10 seconds.
It's not necessary to examine LETTER1, which saved about 3 seconds. LETTER1 is evidence against Sternwood and Vickers, just as MEMO and DIARY, and because I don't examine those two items, I figured that I might not need to examine LETTER1 either, which was the case. :)
Then there were the usual frame improvements here and there. I saved a few frames by having less items in my inventory (it takes shorter time to load), and there were a few optimized cursor movements.
All in all, most of this run looks identical to the published run, but Deja Vu fans will probably spot the differences. :)
More detailed comments might come later...
Enjoy the run!

Truncated: Accepted!

NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Oh! I also corrected the ROM name.
