You could check any user via the Memberlist to usually see when they last were online (Though hidden in this case). Otherwise you could check the last posts made, which was 3 days ago. No, it doesn't seem like Klmz is dead.

Nice to see more of this! Do you have to manipulate the sanity effects as well? So that you don't get one that cost time.

Not really a WIP as it is a finished project.

This is an obvious yes, of course.

I improved the end section by 8 frames :). But yes, I'm happy with this and I have started to move on as well. A million thanks!

I'm satisfied =). And I'm just very amazed at how well you can do this level, I simply don't get it. I'm forever thankful.

Some of the improvements come from lag reduction. At the start, around frame 73700 and on, you get three lag frames fairly quickly. All of these can be avoided by jumping at the right times. Then there's the climbing, which is technically faster to do by simply jumping straight up, though the camera won't catch up as quickly, which is a problem... Turning around is another thing that could be improved. As if you jump left to clip into a wall, with the intension of going right afterwards, just holding Left to frame 5 and press Right on frame 6 is rarely the fastest. But instead you might want to have a frame or two of blank input first, or maybe left, blank, left, blank, right, right etc. or left, right, right, right, blankt, right etc. etc. It's tricky and annoying :/. Here's a short and unoptimised sample of the climb: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/35325766206140238 I reduced the lag mentioned in the beginning, though didn't bother with the ones at the climb itself, which could probably be reduced as well. I also took a different route to avoid bumping, though it takes longer to drop down before you can start the climb, just an idea. I thank you for this and don't try to optimise it too much, I suppose, as fully optimising this is death itself :/. I'll be happy with anything really and obviously giving you full credits for it with assigned author, if you wish.

After too many hours of testing and researching this: I officially give up.

It's mostly that I'm not used to TAS with the radar, it just feels weird and I can't really know what I'm doing and optimise it. I'm actually quite impressed what you managed to TAS with it, and that it was "pretty easy to TAS the level". I find it very difficult personally :D.

Well, round 7 is still slower, because of the waiting time you do after the cherries. Maybe RNG problems with the enemies for you? I don't know. Sorry for being picky :).

So... It's maybe time to start focusing on this level. Alyosha: When you TASed the level, did you just use the radar and no kind of camera hack for it? As that's working out poorly for me atm =P. I haven't really checked too much about what can be improved in your version of it, though I'm certain I'll find some when I start looking (Such as not breaking the DK barrel).

I'm still waiting for a reply for the slower stages, in case you want to try to fix those as well.

There are also a lot of various tricks on the TAS channel, many of which were found after the TAS was finished. I haven't really watched many of them and I'm sadly not an SFA expert... Just mentioning it =).

Seems like a new TAS was made too: Link to video This being about 23 minutes faster than the RTA record. I'm not sure if it's by the same author or not, as the other video is down.

I feel kinda blind... But there was another TAS of the same author: Link to video His round 7 and 11 were faster in that version. I haven't seen your new version yet, as I have yet to find the ROM, so you might have fixed these already. Sorry for "posting the wrong video" at first.

Is that only for Round 8 or the later ones too? Just making sure before I update the run =).
