Sword Master beaten greater than 23 seconds faster over existing published movie.
  • emulator used - fceu v16
  • abused programming error by going thorough solid object
  • take hit to save time
  • aim for fastest time
It's 1430 frames faster over existing published movie, improvement comes from going thorough solid object earlier and major improvements comes from battles. I enjoyed making it.

I never knew a guy in heavy armor could be so nimble. The first YES vote comes from me. Great work!

I never saw the previous movie, but 23 seconds is a pretty big improvement. I think it would deserve a fairly confident yes vote even if it were new. It's ugly as sin, but there's a handful of neat tricks due to sloppy coding, and the movie itself isn't so long that they all become stale.

Nice improvement :) This is an easy yes vote as the wall glitch looks very eloquent in this movie. And 23 seconds is a substantial improvement. Good job.

Thanks for positive replys, I think final boss part can be improve (because I went a bit rush there) - can status change to delay? I'm not sure about cancelling and resubmit or ask for a video replace. *update, 233 frames faster at the end - I'm looking to replace it or resubmit it.

Voting yes if only becaues it's short enough ot not get horribly repitive/boring :) It's funny how all bosses are aparrently unable to turn around.

233 frames is enough to justify cancelling this run and resubmitting the new one.
