thanks to feos for accepting and Samsara & ViGadeomes for helping me optimise this tas.

i’d recommend using the current tas as a baseline, trying to copy it and then try to find an improvement or two. well done for trying, but this still needs a lot of work. voting no for poor optimisation.

just found another 5 frame improvement on screen 6, but enemy cycles meant those 5 frames were eventually lost.

If this is the same as Wolf Clan where the level skip is a debug function, then it can't be published, which makes this the any%, or baseline branch. I would leave the branch empty.
i suspected that. i think that’s also the same reason why HappyLee’s last tas got rejected.

Also note that we don't use "no x glitch" anymore. For glitchy games, we now do the inverse: A branchless baseline and a much shorter "x" glitch branch.
understood.

i will attempt to do this, but i struggle a lot with routing so i might need a bit of help with that. i'll also be cancelling this submission due to the branch name not being true.

Also, my 1 frame improvement on the last stairs screen hasn't been implemented yet, don't forget it !
do you mean the final screen of the game or one with a ladder in it?

VBA-rr doesn't have anything like TAStudio or TAS Editor. If you want a feature like that for GBA TASing, you'll have to use BizHawk.
understood. thank you for responding.

i've installed visual boy advance and am not sure how to start tasing with it since it doesn't have any option that says something like "tas editor". would anyone mind teaching me the basics? kind regards, LGR

i think both should be accepted - one for shortest input time and one for ending the game itself fastest.

Sure thing. Google "how to dump NES rom". You will need some hardware and find instructions to extract the game from your NTSC cartridge!
thank you, i’ll probably do that tomorrow.
