snc has already made several improvements. They look great.

I think snc had better to:
- cancel the submission, if he plans more improvements.
- otherwise, replace the submission movie. (note: in this case, you don't need to cancel this submission. Ask the site admin instead.)
What do you think?

I discovered that Volaticus allows me to go into the wall with some limited situations.

1. At the moment, zipping only works right to left.
2. To go into the wall, Shanoa must be on plain ground, not slope or whatever.

Is it so much faster to get hit by the boss?
First of all, thank you for watching my WIP.
I get damage from Arthroverta to kill him fast. In particular,
- To slash Arthroverta just after MP refill.
- To avoid using Magnes: saves 5 MP. (also it might allow me to begin recovering MP faster)
At the moment, I personally don't worry about getting damage in the boss battles, and I rather prefer to kill them faster.
Therefore, I will miss some boss medals intentionally.

Once again I can't play the .dsm file.
Enable "Advanced Bus-Level Timing" in Emulation Setting dialog.
Those sync settings are written in DSM, but DeSmuME just ignores most of them, so you need to set appropriate setting by yourself.

I haven't watched the run. However, I know a part of your improvements, and it deserves a yes vote enough, so I've already voted yes. I'll watch the run probably on this weekend.

Let the ROM run for a few seconds before playing the movie
As for your version, this isn't needed at all, so remove it.

About Eligor, FreezerBurns is right. You can do it in real-time enough.
Edit: I recommend not to equip Tower Ring when you try it, because it will cut your invulnerable time half off (100 -> 50 frames).FreezerBurns wrote:
Also, would getting the Mercury Boots speed it up any?
AFAIK, The effect of Mercury Boots is applied to walk only. It doesn't change the speed of backdash, Rapidus, dive kick, etc. I doubt whether it saves time. Anyway, thank you for your advice.

at the beginning of the second part on nicovideo, you're doing some additional shopping, right after taking a detour to get more money. Looks like the detour can be avoided.
Yeah, both that detour and shopping can be avoided (merged). That's one of obviously redundant parts.

Purify can be cast faster when charlotte is the active character. It takes some luck to survive the cast and still have both sisters in effect range, but wouldn't it be faster?
That might be, thanks. I didn't know she can cast a spell faster when she is active.
No, Charlotte casts a spell in the same speed whether she is active or not (at least, for Sanctuary). Look at 020fcc1c if you want to verify it by yourself.

Are you planning to do an improved run someday?
Yeah, I probably will someday. I think the making of a serious run takes much time.

I've worked on a suspend glitchless run of the game for a week, and I've finished it now.

Since this work has started as a test run with no particular plans, you might find a bunch of unoptimized movements, mistakes, and possibly improvable strategies, in the run. (I didn't even aim for frame-perfect movement at some points). However, I aimed to make it entertaining enough.
If you recommend submitting the run to the site, I probably will later.
Major Mistakes / Improvable Things
Wait Cube room: Jonathan obviously can push a statue faster than Charlotte. There is even no need to push a statue
Buy Knife to perform partner switch jumping faster
(Do Dart boost)
After getting the doublejump ability, we can move faster than partner switch dash, by backdash-doublejump-kick movement (just like AoS!)
Saving is needed to use Magical Ticket. However, there is no need to reset :/
(Wrong selection in the long item-selling part)
Obtaining Moonwalker in City of Haze (and give it to Jonathan) will save time
There is no need to enter a warp room in Nation of Fools
Train in 13th Street can be skipped by the special attack of Katar (thanks Satoryu)
I guess we can skip one more wing attack of True Dracula. I haven't tried that yet though
There might be more things I forgot to note...
Suggestions about general strategy are welcome (especially about better equips)
Enjoy.
