Waterfall Shrine completed, and now headed towards Gumi Village (33583 frames):

I mentioned a lot of this on my user file comments, but there are already
numerous gameplay improvements over the niconico any% TAS. The hidden Life Stock in Massan is obtained immediately, and the Waterfall Shrine is much more optimized in terms of movements and the use of a clever shortcut I found which saved around 3-4 seconds near the beginning. Slime/enemy movements can be manipulated depending on which frame you jump, slash, or do both. It's just a matter of trial & error and working toward getting the outcome you desire.
As for a 100% branch, I've narrowed that down to obtaining all Life Stocks, equipment, and completing all lineal and optional side-quests. This is based on a 100% RTA a runner named ccpato did a short while back (linked in my user file upload).
Next WIP will have the Swamp Shrine completed--which I'm expecting will include a lot of new time-savers.
edit 2: Since my first teaser fell through (
looks to be impossible to access the dungeon in Massan early...), I decided to swap with a suitable replacement;)
