ThunderAxe31: Claiming for judging.
ThunderAxe31: In order to have this submission accepted, your movie needs to be faster than the published movie. The two movies seem to have about the same length. It's difficult to make a direct comparison, as the emulation core got some major improvements in the meantime, resulting in different loading times. However, if we look closer at the actual gameplay segments, we can get a better comparison. Compared to the published movie, while your movie does improve in some areas, it does also lose time in others. For example, while you climb on the first rope of the first level, you failed to replicate the same trick used by the published movie, and lost at least 11 frames, as you can see from this test movie I made. Note that my attempt is unoptimized, so it could be probably improved even further.
Your movie isn't bad, but I still can't consider it as an improvement over the published movie, as it fails to make use of the known techniques. Please try to look closer at the existing records. Better luck next time!
