This movie is 16:56.98 or 61019 frames, an improvement of 00:04.87 over Rolanmen1's 17:01.85 run.
Game objectives
Emulator used: VBA v23.4
Aims for fastest real-time
Manipulates luck
Takes damage to save time
New trick:
When finishing a boss battle and touching the door to Ciel's room, there is one frame window to act (and a long delay after that frame). If we do a dash-slash on that frame, Zero will move ahead, saving some time.
The usual way to dash-jump is to press both A and L. In fact, L can be pressed 1 to 4 frames after A (except while holding the Shield Boomerang or being on the wall in MMZ3 and MMZ4). If we climb a wall in that way on MMZ1 and MMZ2, it can save time.
Author's comment:
Thanks to Rolanmen1 for his help. I could not have finished this movie without his help. I think this run is better than my MMZ3 run. It is more joyful.
klmz: Accepted as an improvement to the published movie.
Good run, hellagels.
I like when Zero runs up the wall as fast as he dashes forward. Also, I never knew that resetting at the beginning allows you to skip the very first two screens.
Yes vote.
Very entertaining and fast indeed, just what i expected, glad to help you on this. With these in mind i would like to work on the "All Stages" category run. Though, something concerning Air Saber Exp, you got one extra air slash in the Rainbow Devil fight, getting one less exp in the golem fight would be faster?

I really got one more point of Air Rolling-Slash. It only cost one more frame. So that it is not very necessary to make another movie.

Sub 17-min MMZ1? This I did not expect. Yes vote.

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Nice job! I would definitely be curious to see if the All Stages run could be shortened by a lot with this new wall climbing. Yes vote.
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.
the new wallclimbing technique is awesome! does it work in the ZX series?
edit: thought it was already published, obvious yes vote!
to remind myself on what to vote: 9.1 entertainment 8.3 tech

According to what hellagels told me, it barely save some frames, so most of the time that an all stages run would save would come from the golem glitch and a few new stuff im planning.
Amazing run, yes vote.
Highlights are the walljumps (obviously) and jumpslashes throughout the run. Hellagel also made idle time (eg/ invulnerable boss) very entertaining.
This movie has been published.
The posts before this message apply to the submission, and posts after this message apply to the published movie.
