The Forth installment to the zero universe.
This is quite a crazy movie, its a single run of the game in the normal difficulty, i tried to make it look as fantastic as possible by using as many attacks variations possible, yet its still preaty much an all-sabre run.
This movie is a perfect run, all 100% of the points are gained and i didnt take a single hit while doing so, Enjoy !

Truncated: Like many people have noted, this run is fairly unoptimized and cannot be accepted. I have only watched three stages so far, but the mistakes are many and obvious. I recommend seeing the published run for some pointers on what you are doing wrong.
For starters, the the intro can be skipped.

Moreover, regarding the Hard mode debate, I agree with Zurreco... Playing in hard mode in not a lot more interesting... It slows the whole thing and many techniques that could be ciombined in normal mode do not exist in hard mode, making (in my opinion) the run more boring... Finally, one who would like to do so must use the japanese rom as it's the one I used to perform my run...

Version changes for language switches have been allowed in the past as long as it's clearly an improvement when you discount the difference resulting from the version change. Now that the (U) (or (E)?) version of the ROM is available, it makes sense to use it.

I believe Xaphan is referencing the sram, not the slight version differences.

1) wrong, knuckle is chargeable (I found it after submitting my movie). But Z-saber three hit combo is not available 2) correct 3) wrong 4) In fact, junk armor becomes less effective than doublejump + rolling set. And I really like how rolling attack looks when turning twice during it (i call it paintbrush attack, and it does more damage than charged knuckle(10 or 12, I don't remember, against 5 or 7 from knuckles), ignoring invulnerability from knuchles hit). And double jumping gives more freedom ^_^ I just was unexperienced and did not use it to the fullest. Using different stolen weapons looks nice also (finishing first boss by throwing weapon at him, and aiming to fall near the door) but still I somehow lost motivation on redoing my hard mode 100-S rank run (It would still use sram to get hard mode and have much longer boss battles that existing published movie (no charged hit + three hits combos)).

I too have voted no. There is too little optimization in the starting level, if any. May want to remake the entire run..

Right, but who would want to use the charged Zknuckle? I mean, sure, if you want to run around slapping all the bosses, be my guest. My main point was that pretty much everything would be much slower. I can't think of any instances where using the charged Zknuckle instead of other options would ever be more interesting.

Voting no because the game doesn't play through the ending completely before the movie ends (unless it glitched just before the end, which I doubt). However the run itself was good and I commend you for that.

I would of voted yes on this...If it was not a tool assisted run, there are alot of mistakes which I can see including slashing at an enemy and missing it when it was not in your way at all.

I will give this a brief look, but with 6 No votes i a row it looks rather doomed. >I would of voted yes on this... So is this a dead giveaway or what? Hello Mr. Hidden Spriter. Or should I say Shaded Gamer?

If you read the next line I said I would of voted yes if it was not a tool assisted speed run... I don't have any clue what you are implying...but I can tell you are implying something.

>I don't have any clue what you are implying...but I can tell you are implying something. Your nickname, join date, and that specific spelling error (which you made in your last post AGAIN) were all very consistent with the idea that you would be a certain disliked and previously banned member. Your last post would be very out of character for him though, so don't worry. :) Have fun here. PS: It's "would have", not "would of". Just as you would not say "I of voted yes." Only add "would" to see the error.

the have/of is a Mistake I make constantly...Sorry about that. My nickname is a one I have had for years...It was the name of my Comic character - my join date was when it is because that was when the New Zealand Story Speed run came out and I wanted to comment on it. I don't spot any major spelling mistakes in my posts...(I missed out an space in a lot.) I am starting to watch more of the workbench speedruns so you will proberly be seeing more of me.
