Link_enfant:
Thanks, SSBB does look absolutely awesome. I am looking forward to your console run, hopefully you can find something new ;)
Tonski:
Thanks for trying to find improvements and stuff. That smv you posted is slower than the way JXQ does that room, but at least you are trying new and different ideas.
Yrr:
kwinse is correct, that the cut scene must be completed in order for the glass tube to actually open up. I have tried on numerous occasions to escape the tube without waiting for the exploding animation, but it is impossible to avoid.
As promised here is a bundle of demo smvs that I have compiled. Unless otherwise noted, all the smvs were made by me. It should be noted that some of these are slower than what is done in JXQ's movie, but some may be faster as well. I have also included some movies which can be very useful in a RBO route.
