Hey Marx,
If you're going for a submission then you'd best figure out why you lost the three frames in 2-2D. Very important to watch Ryu's subpixel positions if you're going to improve on this, particularly in vertical scrolling areas.
Here is my memory watch file from when I made the TAS, which may or may not be of some help:

Nice improvement on Xipo's example of the attack-wrap glitch in 5-3: 78 frames faster than the published run! Shame that it kills what was one of my favorite boss fights though. ;p
Does it work with special weapons too, or just the sword? If it does then maybe the windmill star could get in the first hit even earlier.
