Happy new year, everyone! And thank you Dimon for the input.

The submission text looks detailed and impressive, but... I don't see any submission, userfile or video this submission text provides comparison to.
I never submit the previous TAS because it didn't follow the guideline. I'm sure the submission of that run will be rejected right away.
Here is the recording of the previous TAS. However, I have a plan to delete that video after my current TAS submission is accepted. I see no reason to keep obsoleted run, especially since it was not optimized.

I noticed there were plenty of blank input which stops after the beginning of intro section (after Game Over green screen). So I removed it and improved the last round by about 0.5 seconds by dodging the head's projectile as soon as it shoots them.

No co-authorship needed. I don't care about it, and I'm not sure if it can be improved even further. Maybe the head's behaviour can be manipulated, so it doesn't shoot. Who knows
Thank you for improving the final inputs. I don't know the exact rule here, but I'm fine if other people co-author this run. Let the judge decide.

Basically, this is the input file I provided earlier, but it goes through the credits roll and enters the name "ZEO" at the end. It finishes after the "Game Over" green screen fades out to make the life for publishers easier, because then the game's intro cutscene is shown.
I don't know the guidelines to end the TAS inputs, whether it ends after the ending/credits or after the name screen. The encoders can remove the name screen inputs if it's deemed unnecessary.
