Hi CReTiNo! Nice first submission. It looks like the precision could be improved, but the game choice is good and I liked the run, so voting yes!

It can be improved and very a lot. But i voted yes despite of lack of optimisation, because it was entertaining to watch. P.S. Congrats with first submission!
I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Current projects: NES: Tetris "fastest 999999" (improvement, with r57shell) Genesis: Adventures of Batman & Robin (with Truncated); Pocahontas; Comix Zone (improvement); Mickey Mania (improvement); RoboCop versus The Terminator (improvement); Gargoyles (with feos)

Hello CReTiNO, and welcome to the site. The run looks very interesting, but unfortunately, it is very severely unoptimized. Without really trying too hard, this run saves 164 frames (nearly 3 seconds) in the first screen alone. Why do you hop around all the time? It doesn't seem to be any faster. You also slow down and bump into walls in a lot places where it doesn't seem like you should have to. The boss fights also look like they could be done a lot faster. Voting no, unfortunately. Keep at it though, this game definitely needs a TAS.

Agreed with the people above. Also, are you sure that it's faster to kill enemies with your sword when you had a pistol (before taking a shotgun)? And why did you kill small spiders? You could just jump over them. Fall downs also can be improved. However, the run itself looks very cool. Voting Yes, but you should improve your TAS.

cara,se vc for BR mesmo,fala com a galera antes de sair mandando esses videos pq provavelmente vai ser rejeitado
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

Nice run, maybe we'll see the SegaCD version next with more animal beating.

Well, actuaĺly SegaCD run is done, but I know the giant improvement and will redo it again soon. https://youtu.be/8__altBSe-k https://youtu.be/UJBfSBxCujE It was done after watching AVGN's episode about Sega CD. I spent about 4 hours on making it. And as a result, I didn't plan the optimal walkthrough and didn't check the control.
