How is the improvement going?
Got Cnz2 and MHZ 2 improvements in the works, just need to sync the rest, which is taking a while. We might make this as low as to be lower than the original s&t ng+ run. So we might not need a new branch, unless you want to keep it…

I hope ThunderAxe sees this. It appears that this run can be improved again, so hold off of publishing until I make the improvements... Edit: Improvements have been made: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638284403438159102 Edit 2: Updated Times Table with updated times Edit 3: have to sync mecha sonic fight so hold off on the file

I noticed that the times in your submission comments for Flying Battery 2 and Sky Sanctuary seem to be ever so slightly slower than those of the Sonic non-newgame+ TAS on the site. Is there a reason behind that discrepancy (e.g. different time-measuring methods, differences in emulation)?
Its kind of complicated, but ill do my best to explain... The differences in times in the improved levels wont correlate correctly with the other levels unless I copy direct inputs. Since it would desync if I did so, I did the best I can to correlate the inputs and missed a couple of milliseconds from it...

I Like the concept, but I feel as if the "Glitchless" part makes it ever so slow... Voting: Meh

Nice work. I'm loosing track of the various projects ShiningProdigy, Takz and the community as a whole I assume are improving upon on this game. Long may it continue, I hope.
Thanks! I'm branching up to Amy now!

Why does your run look two minutes slower than this run? [2744] Genesis Sonic 3 & Knuckles "newgame+" by marzojr & Aglar in 27:31.29
This run was with Hyper Sonic only that doesn't use strats with Tails...

Very optimized to show how the previous run ( https://tasvideos.org/3425M ) can be improved. Obvious Yes Vote!!!

Though, I'll admit to slight mix feelings/confusion, as I could have sworn I'd seen a 100% WiP with Sonic and Tails posted by you guys on youtube a month or so back? Does Tails being around prevent something I'm unaware of, or am I missing something else?
Yes I did try [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01nLYOrL9xs|Sonic+Tails 100%] but I stopped because Takz wanted help with his Sonic 100% TAS and Tails prevented a lot of time saves because of too many lag frames.

Why is this submission slower than the existing publication in Hill Top Zone 2, Mystic Cave Zone 1, Ocean Oil Zone 1, Metropolis Zone 1, and Metropolis Zone 3?
Because some of the zips require 2 player inputs, otherwise they wouldnt be able to do.

The 100% post bonus levels does not really add much gameplay wise since super Knuckles is never seen again after the first time.
Yes but even with super Knuckles, the fastest routes don't include him (except for sky chase and EHZ 1 boss)
