Hello, everyone. I come back to this game - my first pub game.
When I TASed this game in 2011, I couldn't improve the run before Dr. fight in last stage. Even lost some frames before that. However, I'm making 100% run for this game during these days. And found some improvements before stage 5. So I tried to remake secret run. And now, I've improved 15 frames.
In fact, I lost frames after stage 1...

Level-by-Level Notes:

Stage 1: 17 frames saved.
8 frames saved before the collapsed building. By better luck manipulation on the poles.
Most of others come from beating the huge boss faster.
Stage 2: 1 frame lost.
Stage 3: 1 frame lost.
In these 2 stages, I saved frames somewhere and lost frames somewhere...

Other comments:

It seems that using Fang to beat game is the fastest and the easiest. You'll see their difference in my next 100% run.
And so fewer rerecord counts...

GoddessMaria: Judging.
GoddessMaria: Despite the emulation differences between this movie and the publushed one, it is 15 frames faster and has been well receieved.
Accepting as improvement to the previous run of this category.
Spikestuff: Poor Gens, no one likes you... Yup, no one at all.
