Comments

This game has two routes: the "Jukai"(樹海) route, which goes to the left, and the "Genjitsu"(現実) route, which goes to the right. In this TAS, we aim to be the fastest on the "Genjitsu" route.
There can only be three bullets on the screen. Therefore, the closer you are to the enemy, the better your attack efficiency will be.
In Airman battles, there is a 20 frame interval for damage to occur.

Samsara: Resetting to New, as I haven't had any spare time or motivation lately. Sorry for the continued wait ._.

feos: Waiting for the author to reply in the thread regarding possible improvements.
feos: Improvements kept getting suggested in the submission thread, but the author is not responding (I also tried contacting them on youtube a week ago). Other judges liked the idea of canceling this movie until the author returns, but improvement suggestions piled up and they feel significant. If it was just one suggestion that saved a few frames, I would have probably already accepted this, tho ideally we'd have the author review it still. But in the current state I feel it makes sense to reject this submission and hope for a new submission that incorporates those improvements.

Parts of the world (not counting TASVideos, thankfully) are being constantly endangered as we speak. Take care of yourself and everyone else out there, will ya? Still very busy, so I apologize if there's any lack of activity.

Another thing I wanted to bring up as well: There is a chance that Guile may not do the Flash Kick when you first enter the room (down or up) after restarting; he may just do a simple jumping kick instead. Flash Kick, for comparison:

ruru-ta, can you check if the above suggestions can be incorporated easily?
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.

At 03:35 the character clipped through the wall and fell down, then climb up a second time. I think climb up without falling at first time is faster. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av112760071455252/

sorry after experimenting I found it is a bug and not insufficiency in optimization however, I found that starting from the save point before (and the one after, where I started in the last video) airman boss would not trigger the bug so maybe it is a viable strategy to use ESC to suicide at the first frame touching the left side of the save point before the airman and restart, owata will spawn at the right side of the screen, which will waste least time (or may save time, I didn't try), and avoid having to fall down once https://www.bilibili.com/video/av112760071455252/?p=2
