About weapon level up choice

I have chose to make the Z-Saber level up for a skill -- rolling attack. Rolling attack also has a glitch like the standing-slash,but it can be used in mid air.

Other comments

Thanks for GigaFrost's run. It gave me a good plan of this game.
Thanks klmz and Cpadolf gave me many good ways in some small optimizations and luck manipulate.
That's all what I want to say, by the way, if there are some mistakes in this article, could you please tell me and help me turn it to right? Thank you very much!^_^
At last, hope you all enjoy this run~!

Truncated: Looks good to me. I will accept it. I didn't understand the reason for waiting through the credits, but it says why in Gigafrost's submission:
If you don't save after the credits you can't start a hard mode game.
I don't see why this is necessary for a speedrun. I accept the 17 minute version, and I think that one should replace the current submission. Stopping the movie when the credits start to roll is the standard here. An administrator must change the movie file before this run is published.

ShinyDoofy: Claiming encoding. Will wait for the official input file to be replaced.

adelikat: Submission file replaced!
