A lot has happened. Recap: me and Sonikkustar updated the TAS with some new tech mostly found by real-time speedrunners of this game. But since then, even more new tricks have been found.
Beating Apocalypse with Magneto of all characters, since his A-attack can hit Apocalypse while he is in the background layer. Found by Green Shinobi. There are two patterns, it needs to be tested which one is faster.

Going above the top of Jungle 1, which saves one or two trips of going down and up the trees. Found by A-Frame. Skipping two trips is slower currently, but it might not be under TAS conditions.

Early hit on Apocalypse while he's doing his intro lap. It is important to note that all characters can hit him during this time, but it only results in a grunt from him and he doesn't actually take damage. But when he recoils like he does here, he takes damage, which can be verified in RAM.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
