Link to video Here's all that we have for worlds 1 and 2, the person helping out now is Bloopiero. there was also a massive trick I found for the 2-3 boss that almost feels like cheating. if you see it you will know what I mean.

By faster, do you mean in frame count or actual time?

I recorded a video of what it sounds like on a GBA (I plugged it into my computer speakers and put my phone’s mic up to it, I do not know if it picks up any popping going on but I could not notice any popping going on) Link to video

I’d be surprised if that diagonal thing saves time, it likely would take the same amount of time to execute as if does in my method.

I liked it, the movement was fun and cute to watch, plus the zips made to really interesting to watch entire levels get skipped. I’ll give it a yes vote

Thank you LZ for going out of your way to improve the entertainment, I knew you could make something more fun to watch during the down time. I especially liked the idea of leap frog in the snake level, that was pretty clever (and technically a good pun). I definitely want to recommend this for stars to replace the 2 player warps TAS now, yes vote. Edit: I forgot to ask, would you like a level by level comparison?

The problem with getting grey flame is it would possibly screw up the rng manipulation for the axe drop later, and it’s really important to get that for the OoB in the anti-chapel. I also still have no idea how to manipulate the grey flame consistently, I have never gotten it in my testing.

No, This is because of how GBHawk write the flag for GBC, adelikat mentioned it here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=493640#493640. This was also an issue with movies like this: http://tasvideos.org/6530S.html EDIT: changed the comment to be more accurate.

So I tested the movie tile in 2.4.1 to try again, and this time I got some better behavior at the start. So far it seems that RNG is being more cooperative, the first screen halt syncs perfectly, but as soon as the explosions stop on the 2nd screen halt, it desyncs. However I think this is due to an invisible lag frame and not from RNG differences. This should be easier to deal with for both TASers, so I’ll provide the movie file once I’m home and confirm sync on 2.4.2 (I’ll also say which frame the desync appears to happen.) EDIT: here we go, Desync seems to happen at around frame 2069 in BizHawk 2.4.2: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/63418557201295373

Why does the emulator used say 2.3.2 but the submission text says 1.12.2?

syncs just fine in BizHawk 2.3.1 for me. you need to use a release that didn't change the 1 frame loading.

yeah personally if the snake level had some playaround, I'd be satisfied. I'd reccomend watching other TASes with that level in it to get some ideas. My personal favorite is in the 2 player warps tas: https://youtu.be/W_231wO_OCs?t=124

You can't always expect movies made on old emulation to sync on newer emulation.

Oh btw HOTD, I forgot to give you the numbers of our improvements compared to your publication. Keep in mind this is with emulation differences factored out (basically I subtracted the number of lag frames from the frame count) Stage 1 we saved 16 gameplay frames Stage 2 we saved 227 gameplay frames none of these improvements include lag frames saved. and I am not bothering to compare those for obvious reasons.

Also personally I prefer just letting down time be down time, you don't always have to be doing stuff (and anything you change will certainly ruin RNG and you will have to redo many sections afterwards.
You never know if playaround you do will change RNG. Sometimes it may not, and with this game, it seems pressing the select button will change rng as well. I think an attempt should at least be made to see if it can be incorporated and still be made to sync afterwards. Branches help out especially with this in TAStudio. I only say this because I believe TASing should be more than simply optimizations in speedruns. I believe it should be about expressing super human play, and that includes crazy playarounds you see in some older Battletoads TASes.
