I really wish I could comment this run, but even with the right Snes9X version, it freezes for ~30 seconds, then plays ~5 seconds, and again... I'll have to try this on another computer I guess.

janus, what version of snes9x are you using? I tried to play your latest WIP, and it froze on the 1.43 version I had, and just plain doesn't work on the latest 1.51 version.
IST: are you using the settings in the movie file (in particular sync sound) on a multicore cpu? If you are, and you're using the standard version of 1.43 (any improvement version up to 16 will also have the same problem), that will cause it to freeze/crash at a random point in time.
Head here and grab the svn version linked on that page. It should sync fine and not crash on that version.
It seems I actually had that version already, but unchecking the "sync sound" option solved it for me. Thanks a bunch for the tip!
Great run so far, janus! I love how much time is saved by letting your party be killed. Can't wait to see the rest!
I have faith your patience will be rewarded and you'll be lucky enough to have everything you need this time.... if not then whelp, you know the routine.
I've been following this run for a while, and it's very impressive. A shame you've had to do so many restarts, though...
Anyway, should you find yourself short a WiseBL, one possible option is to use 1 WiseBL and 1 WFruit in the Habaruku battle (you currently use 2 WiseBLs); that should do just enough damage to kill him.
that was the plan
unfortunately, I am indeed short one wise BL for evans (will be up to 8991 damage)... and getting the dragon sword is too much of a detour (the short way make me skip the said floor). oh well...

Is there a reason you use Def-Up on Ryu vs Ray? Etherstorm does non-elemental piercing damage, so it won't decrease the damage of that, and I didn't see Ray attack again after that.
26k frames behind? jesus. do you really think the last 2 battles will save *that* much time thanks to wise balls?
I'm of the opinion that the following would end up faster, on the assumption that you can manipulate it, if the alternative (4 person raping of barubary) isn't practical due to all damaging unavoidable attacks:
1) get great bird
2) go to giant island on your way to evrai
3) get that shield that I got
4) rape barubary with w.fruits solo
5) ???
6) profit!
that's plan B.
However, I doubt it will save that many frames. Don't forget I don't go around for any treasures, so defense is low. Plus, wisefruits only heal 20 mp
And yes, I think I will save that many frames. WiseBl don't suck up HP, and they restore all MP (100, but I won't have that much). i did catch up about 1/2 of what I lost.
Don't do that. seriously. I looked at the movie time when I opened it up and thought "for all that, he's only 10 minutes faster in the end?" and when I got to the end there was over 20 minutes of non-needed frames. If you consider that your goal wasn't to waste time, then you violated it massively and I'd vote no on it if you were to submit it as it is.
I'd still wonder if not using wiseballs would save time, as you'd only need to use it twice in a turn since your max AP never exceeds 40, though you'd have to cure more often and keep more people alive. I'd still say it'd be less time consuming than the alternative, but I'm not going to check it myself. At roughly 250 frames per item use, it'd probably work out decent enough if you bought healing items instead of healing with spells thus skipping the spell animation.

The first stage of the Barubary fight ends once Barubary takes over 1250 points of damage; therefore, it should be possible to do over 2000 damage before the fight ends, allowing him to be defeated using one less G Dragon.
Habaruku also has 2500 health so it should be possible to use a regular dragon on him in place of the last G Dragon.

Shouldn't need to cook, you just won't need to use the WFruit. Seeing as buying it cost 1 frame, that's not much of a loss :)
You could stop recording as soon as the final scene is done, there's no more input after that and it doesn't exactly stop someone from watching the credits. Some more time could potentially be saved by having Bleu in last place, she says less than Sten when leaving the room after beating Deathevan.
yes I would because i would be stuck at 9500 damage...
I think I will take atma's challenge and use wisefruits. the barabury fight will be similar; I should be able to find enough wisebl
