I know... though I'm not responsible for that... It's the same for both MMZ3 and 4... I hope at least the "good play" part will be prevalent over the bad time movies

OK, it's time to improve the published run by Xaphan. Here is the WIP of intro stage. It is 4425 frames faster than the published run's intro stage with hard mode (365 frames with ABSs input to skipped the logo, and 3632 frames with skipped the plot, so the exactly improved is 428 frames). Here is the reason for why i chose the hard mode: *The EXSkills are simply useless in MMZ2, they cannot be combined with any other attacks. *Z-saber must be level up, and it will used about 3400 frames to the highest level. By the way, the leveling system is same way with MMZ, if you don't know that, please see Here. Some different with the gun EXP, the buster charge attack only +1 gun EXP in MMZ2. And here is what i found: Z-saber: Double Slash - Total 30 swings Triple Slash - Total 90 swings Charge - Total 290 swings Fast Charge - Total 850 swings Z-buster ( gun EXP ): Charge - 200 Fast Charge - 600 Chain Rod: Charge - 50 Fast Charge - 210 Shield: level 2 - 30 level 3 - 80 And the skill of saber slash only used in vs boss, with many of my test, use the shield in hard mode, it's about 2100 frames slower in totally boss fight, and all of them can be improved. *About the Form: I think the Proto Form is the best Form in MMZ2. Because of the +2 dameges (+1 in vs boss). Some disadvantages of Proto Form is: only half defensive power of Zero that means takes less dameges to save time. And Proto Form could be used with "new geme" only in hard mode. So i chose the hard mode. I don't know improve the published run in this way will be accept or not in this site, so i need some advise on this. Thank you~

I don't know all that much about this game, but I definitely recommend comparing Proto form against the other available forms for different levels; IIRC most of the MMZ series bosses can be taken down really quite rapidly so the extra damage may not be helpful there (and extra damage during the levels is rarely useful), but being able to take more damage during the main level can be very helpful indeed. Of course, you also have to consider the time taken to switch forms...

Thank you, Derkon. But i don't think so the extra damage during the levels is rarely useful. In my WIP, maybe Proto Form's extra damage is more useful, i can taken down the mid boss with 3 times(in nomal mode ,it must be 4 times), and taken down the boss with 5 slashs 1 shoot(in nomal, it will take 6slash + 1 charge shoot). This status will happend again and again. The most powerful combo in nomal mode is Z-saber charge attack + triple slash in Rise Form, the damege is 8+4+6 =18, but the charge slash we when is too late, and it will takes too much time to get it(1slash will take 4frames "lag").

Very nice work my friend! I see you have a new route in mind and I naturally wonder how much faster it will turn out in the end. I could notice the slight higher level of optimization compared to Xaphan's run, you are really good at what you do and keep it up! :) I also cannot wait to see your ZX run :D

Thank to klmz specially for his suggestions. I have changed some of my path. Here is the second WIP:http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/823325035/computerbird-MMZ2-WIP%A3%BF.vbm In Panther Flauclaws's stage, there are lots of enemy that I can get the Triple Slash befor vs boss, and i also have the Rise Form in vs Magnion. This is a faster way than my old plan. I'm waiting for your comments ^_^.

Now, the Kuwagust Anchus's stage (Aerial Stage) have finished! You can find the third WIP in Here. In Hyleg Ourobockle's stage (Forest Of Dysis), I have to "attack" the Health Capsule 9 times with chain rod. See this WIP you'll know why. I'm also waiting for your comments.

Very nice work my friend. I am very curious to know how much faster you are compared with the current published run.

Hey, sorry for bumping this, but I was just curious about how things were going with the improved run with the chain rod glitch. I loved the last run you put out, computerbird, but I haven't heard anything new since you canceled that run.

Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:

Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

I'm a little lazy in this run, because i'm unlucky in the part of protect Ceil 90s, it's desync, so i must redo that part...but this part too boring to do( i must keep the same weapon exp), so i'm let it down, but i'll continue after complete the MMZX test run. BTW, you can find the WIP here:http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1969970519/0990%20-%20Rockman%20Zero%202.vbm The ROM used JAP version, the reason i'll put it in my submission.

Ok................That was fucking awesome, i never though that the Chain Rod glitch could be used in such way. I agree that the 90s part is boring to TAS, but i can't wait to see the whole thing.

Thanks computerbird! This looks good so far. I'm a little surprised that in the stage where you rescue Elpizo, and you fight the 3 minibosses in a row, that you use the Ice power on all 3. Is it not worth it to switch powers? Also, in the forest stage, before entering the building, you shoot the Chain Rod 3 times for no apparent reason into the wall. What does this do? Keep up the great work though!

The first question: with a real-time run, open the menu would cost too much frames to switch the powers. second question: i have to waited the raised wall before the boss room.

Wow, that Chain Rod glitch sure is something, I'm gonna try to do it in regular play. Edit: WOW, I LOVE THE CHAINROD GLITCH SO MUCH! seriously, I'm showing it to everyone I know because it's so freaking awesome! Oh and the timing couldn't have been better, just as I am working on a SS run of Z2's hard mode. I found some usefull skips, the CR glitch can be used on the shrines in the Temples of Flame~Wind, you can imagine that not having to deal with the walls in Fafnirs stage saves a great deal of time. Amusingly, when you zip through the ceiling before the boss door in the Temple of Flame, Guarder Room (boss intro music) will start playing LOL also, all enemies that come on screen explode as when you enter a boss room door. interesting. When you've cleared the stage, it will act as if you went into the door, transfering you back to the resistance base. In the Temple of Ice you can skip the first shrine, and while you can even get on top of the second, you cannot progress from there, good fun tho. In the Temple of Wind, you can skip both shrines BUT, the CR glitch demands that the wall is on the right side, meaning you have to enter the door of the second shrine and climb up to perform the zip. I also found some Useless zips, but I thought I'd mention them anyways: -intro, you can skip through the ceiling above the Cyberelf box. -Panter, you can skip through ANY ceiling in any train. -Fafnir1, before the molten lava buckets, blue background, left-topcorner from the gabyoall (spinning thing) -Airplane, you can zip back to the door past the golem from the long vertical shaft with all the ladybug jets. -TempleWind, arbitrary, you can get under the boss doors, you can zip into the right door. Those are all fun, but the most awesome of all is the one in the Final stage, you can zip through the righthand corner of the first boss set room! sadly, no boss will appear beyond that point, and you will never hear guarder room, even when entering the final chambers. even more peculiar is that the door of the 2nd boss set room is MISSING. Elpis and X are missing too, but for the first time ever, ingame you can fully see the branches of Yggdrasil (yay) Damn, RMZ2 just got a little more awesome.

TITS or GTFO

Computerbird: I saw your WIP again and i saw that in the Phoenix fight, you threw the shield in opposite direction of phoenix before killing him. Where you unable to hit him or something at that point?
