Computer TASer of 2015 Computer TAS of 2015
6.8 year (approx.) bump, which might be better than a 7 year itch. :P I have been working on improving the published run, and I have a WIP up to death warp #1, which is a little bit more than half the game completed. It is currently 336 frames faster than the published run, mostly due to a discovery that makes Solid Snake not pause for a frame every time he changes direction. Here is a encode of the WIP: Link to video Edit: Here is the WIP: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1949198565/Metal%20Gear%20%28U%29.fm2

Computer TASer of 2015 Computer TAS of 2015
WunUnknownPlayer in the SDA forums discovered an additional death warp that saves time. It improved my speedrun by quite a bit, and it will save time in the TAS. So now I have to redo the TAS once again to make use of it. The new route rescues Grey Fox instead of Twin Shot's prisoner, which in itself is only a little bit slower. But because it causes rank 3 in floor 2, a death warp there ends up saving time. Edit: It ended up saving 1429 frames. So now the WIP is 1767 frames ahead of the published run. Here is the new WIP: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1780811913/Metal%20Gear%20%28U%29.fm2 And here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpSol81D0Do

You mean the deathwarp? That's a legitimate tactic that was discovered during the making of that run. It's used in the RTA world record (which was done on an actual NES), as well as several other runs of the game. EDIT: Made the explanation much less harsh. Sorry about that!

Oh! Ok. Sorry. Don't know "RTA World Record" approved that. My fault. I beg your pardon, please. And thanks for the answer.

No worries! I came off pretty harsh there, honestly, so sorry about that! I edited it down for a little more clarity.
