Techniques and Tricks (correct more info)
  • Rush faster: After rush, if quickly make jump will help faster 2-4 frames for each times
  • Thought the trucks: at stage 3 scene 1, I had go thought trucks on side for get cans, just little but it helped me can make a rush more my old
  • Rush power: when start rush, it help character break up or go thought some objects. It also can help run on air a little while fall down to holes
  • Jump lower: make rush and jump at same time will help jump lower normal
  • Turn faster: before turn, make jump will help faster 1-2 frames
Notes
  • This run make on BizHawk, more accurate than psxjin. That's why in-game it's faster but at totally it's shlower my old. Compare here
  • Can't make bonus stages faster or shorter because game engine. That stages in this run have little longer than my old, maybe because emulator accurate
Thanks
  • Spikestuff for helped me make a compare my runs with his magic (I think his name is Harry Potter) ^^
p/s: Pepsi, NOT only my choice :D

Memory: Judging
Memory: The movie appears to be optimized, with improvements on every stage that doesn't go at a completely fixed speed.
I was not expecting this TAS to be particularly entertaining, perhaps due to my distaste for soda, but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. I found it strangely charming and the audience appears to like it as well. Of note is that the last submission was hurt by a lack of BGM present in the emulator and it had to be added in through editing. The current TAS is at an average entertainment rating of 6.4 which is relatively close to the border between Vault and Moons. These two submissions are admittedly fairly similar but the existing TAS had some fairly superhuman play as is and the new strategy in stage 3 scene 1 where you run between the trucks is the exact kind of thing that pushes this movie over the edge.
Accepting to Moons as an improvement to the currently published movie.
