OK, at least I managed to get it played on a PC. A big WOW for boss battles, I knew that this trick could be huge against bosses when used in superplay mode :) I would happily vote yes if I coud !

Woops, I should have indeed... but usually I don't check the workbench since I don't have a way to read replay files and I must wait for the AVI files ;) I sure hope some good coder will port those hacked emulator on Mac someday... If anyone could post a AVI of this run, it woud be really appreciated ! Anyway 1'14 seems to be a pretty good improvement... Glad I could help a little :)

Way to go Kyrsimys, just trust in the way you feel about it. Timing contingencies set apart, I tend to prefer videos where power-ups are kept to a minimum, it generally makes battling more entertaining, don't you think ? While we are (eagerly) waiting, could you at least tell us about how much this new trick allowed you to save time on the whole thing ?

Great, now I am waiting for some epic boss battles ! :) By the way, I must confess that I am quite surprised that no one there found this trick, when I see how insanely pervert some tricks are used in all these runs ! ;)

Hi there ! For my first post on this great site, I would like to submit a trick for Kid Icarus that I've never seen used on speedruns for this game, despite it being quite simple and effective, especially against bosses. Here I go : if you crouch just after firing, it eliminates the delay needed between 2 arrows. Consequently, when you rapidly alternate the fire and the crouch buttons, you can shoot arrows at a much greater rate, about 4 or 5 times I'd say. It is a bit hard to master this trick in real gaming, but since we are in a tool-assisted world here, I am convinced that it can help saving a good amount of frames :) Great video nonetheless !
