I was bored and felt like TASing something after a LONG hiatus. Those tricks on Youtube are quite handy. The "Z Slope Jump" was particularly useful. In fact, I discovered in Stage 1's major shortcut you can flat out avoid fall damage with that trick combined with bouncing off certain objects (in this case a torch). This is great because you avoid a rather lengthy fall damage animation, so I imagine it will be useful in many places.
I also discovered you can instant kill the mini boss in the stage in a rather hilarious way.
Here is my WIP so far using Reinhardt. I'm using the 1.2 US rom. I tried a long time to try to manipulate 2 Power Ups from the Skeletons before the Big Skeleton boss. I couldn't get them both to drop :(. I will need to redo this part if I continue this. I believe I would save something like 4 hits on him. I need a memory address I suppose to find out what affects drops.
I may continue this if there's enough interest. I always thought it was a shame this under rated game was not done.
Edit: The problem with getting two Whip Power Ups before the boss is that it doesn't look like it's possible without delaying some so far. If you rush as fast as possible to the door only 2 out of the 3 Skeletons follow you. The third Skeleton disappears off screen. I've only managed to get 2 Power Ups while killing all three.
I watched Star Slash Dash's old cancelled movie and he kills the third and lures the other two. Hopefully I can find a way to get it off the 2 Skeletons. It's kinda an minor thing I guess,but it's still annoying...
