Improved by 00:08.52 over my old run. I changed character usage route to keep using Kamakura longer than old movie. With experimenting this game more after my first TAS, I've decided to try kamakura to see if I can improve the run and here it is. His projectile weapon and better mid-air speed compensate Santos' best mobility attack, W-fist.
