Can frames be saved during the scoring screen if you waste a lot more ammo during the level? It looks like you regain your ammo in between levels anyway (as far as I can see)

Okay, here's some feedback on the first 4000 frames: 1. You didn't handle the start menu as fast as possible. This was both visually obvious, and if you looked at the input display, you could see that you just mashed the start button. 2. It looked like you ran too far before climbing down the first ladder, around frame 1180. 3. You fire one shot too much on the first enemy, around frame 1593. 4. You fire one shot too much on the second enemy, around frame 1684. 5. Is it really faster to fall down the "stairs" around frame 2000? You take damage when you hit the ground, can't that be avoided? 6. When landing from a jump, you automatically stop for a few frames. So you want to minimize how many jumps you make, throughout the whole movie. Isn't is possible to jump the whole way down (and up again) around frame 2100? 7. The same goes for the "stairs" around frame 3150 - can't you jump two steps per jump here? 8. Fired one shot too much on the enemies around frame 4000. Overall, this was decently played, but could be optimized more, oveall. I personally think that you should redo this, as it's a pretty good game to TAS, but this time not firing too many shots and optimizing movements some.

This is a problem. Firing all rounds to save time, or only fire as many as needed to make it look clean?

Wasting ammo would make this run more interesting, IMO. Goes well with the tumbling down the stairs to make Ripley look like an idiot. :D

You seemed to jump higher than you needed to for many of the short steps up. I don't know if the game just rounds between heights, or not. I thought that the vertical jumping parts in the waterfall levels were sloppy. Some jumps were noticeably higher than others. Is it possible in the level with the long wait for the elevator to get to a short passage with a person in it, to jump and hit the wall where you bounce back and forth to instead get knocked in? Seems like it would save a lot of time.

No vote, why? -It can be optimized, bigtime, i was hesitant from watching the movie, but i need to get an eye at possible optimizations. -100X rerecords? that itself may show the movie requires sharpening. Its not a bad movie, but it doest seems as a tas, it seems as a good player showing how to beat the game. This movie can be optimized people here with more experience will encourage you to do that, i do too.

I Vote No. Why?I thing max12187566 has finished his work too fast.He should research this game and research frame advanced first.And his writing expression is short and insignificant.

I too voted no because it can be optimized a lot more. And Xipo. It's probably people like you that keep new people from trying to TAS with your bull shit comments. Maybe you should try not attacking people directly, troll. The run itself isn't that bad. I kind of enjoyed it really. But is it necessary to take damage from the bosses?

om, nom, nom... blech, stale!
