No doubt the Overkill fight is improvable. There was luck manipulation involved as I positioned myself against the right hand wall of Overkill's room to where he has me cornered. Then I start doing a series of punches and knee-drops to knock the guy loose. A single knee-drop (best demonstrated on the final stage) pushes Gen. Hawk back. That's one thing that aggravates me about using LV4 knee drop. But in this battle, Gen. Hawk has nowhere to fall back since he is pinned against the wall. He can also score a few more punches as he tries to regroup. It took 824 frames to pwn Overkill (the WIP I posted), but here, this battle only took 747. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1074516360/overkill-LV4.fm2 (WTF?) An edit: I did it again, this time without starting off with the gun. I got to the other end quicker with that dashing drop kick! But here, the only difference is an extra 22 frames. And from the way it looks, I thought I inflicted more damage with 2 opening drop-kicks than 5 bullets anyway. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/573056155/overkill-LV4.fm2 (Grr!) I wanted to delete the old Overkill link, but I chose to leave it here for everyone to see and feel the difference.

I'll be pondering some of the alternate methods of how to quickly kill bosses and minibosses using bare-hand-LV3 kicks. There is no telling how difficult it will be to corner them, especially if they have room outside the screen to move around. There are walls in the boss rooms (Overkill, Destro, and Cobra Commander). Overkill could be easy to corner since he walks more than shooting rockets and doing stunts. For Destro and Cobra Commander, I already checked out their stunts and movements - no way. By then, Gen. Hawk's will have a level 4 laser gun. Of course, I will pull a different strategy to get a level 4 laser gun much sooner - and that is when I can defeat him in a shorter time. Inzult: Sorry to hear about your PC, man. If I have to encode, which page on here do I need to view, to try to get the best guidelines for encoding to MP4?

I played more, and now I beated the game. The record so far is 08:37.75 so if anyone runs through this route again and came out with anything higher, you know something's wrong. Now I'll be seeking to investigate because there may be a flaw or two and optimization is the next step. I may need some extra eyes, be on the lookout and let me know what's better and what to avoid. I should have everything else patented down. :] http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1449025300/gi.joe.2.wip.C0DE.RED.fm2 (annoying error message) http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/5/29/2874529/gi.joe.2.wip.C0DE.RED.fm2

I tried accessing some of the WIP's based on the links above, but Microstorage kept giving me dead-link errors with messages like "Data error accessing video." If anyone has the WIP's listed above, that they once downloaded, please re-upload them so that I can review them and compare. I spent practically a bit of time on this game, now Overkill got pwn3d right at frame 10600 - which I thought that everything was well-optimized altogether. I climb a mountain on the next level from which I read. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/968331596/gi.joe.2.wip.C0DE.RED.fm2 Inzult: I discovered that you have a certain bare-hand attacking pattern that was very helpful in this optimization. All it took was a repeated B-Down-Right-per-frame and B-Down-Left-per-frame that significantly cracked down some time to defeat minibosses, and even Overkill! On the third stage, I think I even optimized their mini-boss! Again, I can't tell until I get my hands on the WIP's. I also discovered that you're able to push Start at frame 815, and again at frame 819. 815 when the main menu is ready and 819 to skip the opening storyline. Then you go through the radar/character screens until the frame that you start on the opening route. This saves 28 frames. However, possible random memory forces you to re-think the entire manipulation strategy as you jump and collect the POW icons all the way to Bare Hands LV3. On a lazy-man's note, I already tried mirroring your frame-by-frame actions during the run despite the earlier start technique, it doesn't work that way. I managed to obtain your recent wip FCM before I kept getting error messages from Microstorage - I even converted it to FM2. Here you go: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1852415410/gijoe2-inzult-wip_1.fm2 Edit ~ I managed to proceed past the mountain to Route 11. I was in desperate need of bullets to make sure I've gotten ready for Destro. I am sure there were even more bullets underwater, but you have to give up a lot of frames just to throw in Wet Suit and have to go there. Then going into Area D, I had to pause for a moment to finally level up Gen. Hawk's laser gun. A LV 3 lasergun is okay, but LV 4 seems to be much quicker. After all of this, I defeat Destro. Expect weird frame-by-frame actions during this Destro battle! http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/66763885/gi.joe.2.wip.C0DE.RED.fm2

Good God! That's the simplest way to win a game of Chess. [Currently unable to vote (post rank)] (Mod note: Please use plain text unless the situation warrants it. In particular, all red text hurts our eyes.)
