Finally, it's done.

The in-game clock says 2 hours, 59 minutes and 55 seconds at the final imput, which is roughly 34 minitues faster than my console run on SDA. Real completion time is 3 hours, 13 minutes and 35 seconds, which is about 1 hours, 7 minutes and 36 seconds faster than Hero's run. The most important key factor for improvement is I've managed to completely skip Fiona's Shrine, which made it possible to shave a couple of minutes off from the run.
Also here is some savestates.

State 0 is at the end of Magus battle, 1 is at the end of a series of 81 battles to gain EXPs and TPs at Tyrano Lair, and 2 is just before Shell Lavos battle. Download them depending on the situation to smoothly watch the run.
And yes, it's about time to get down the serious final recording. As I said earlier, I'll be using Snes9x 1.51 for the final recording. The reason why I'll use 1.51 is because it seems 1.51's movie timing is more accurate than 1.43. I've heard 1.51 has the false timing problem on some game. However, at least in Chrono Trigger, I think it's safe to say that 1.51 is more reliable one. To cite a simple example, if you watch the OP demo on 1.43, You can see the movie timing gets faster than the real console timing little by little, and become far from the real timing in the end. That's horrible. On the other hand, I can't tell the difference between console and 1.51. That means, it would be exteremly difficult or almost impossible to beat the test run's time for the final recording since the test run is already pretty well made, but which wouldn't bother me one bit.
Strategically, the final run will be almost the same with the test run. However, the level of optimization will be higher and some fun stuff will be add in, like, imitation back walking/running, camera abuse in the bike race and so on, all of which I intentionally overlooked in the test run. I hope I'll finish the run by the end of this summer. Thank you for the patience. And as usual, any suggestion and imput will be appreciated.
