First grenade, 1 B 1 Z 2S.
2nd grenade, 3 Z 2S.
others, 1 B 1 Z 2S or 2Z 2S.
Edit: there is a chance of jumping through the stone when stone falling in part 3. Jump into the lower left of stone.

Sorry, I mean left 15 more bombs to the mirror boss for saving 5 Z.
You have saved more bombs and S. I suggest left 10 bombs after beating mirror boss. And don't care about S, because S is enough.
72 bombs is enough for the final boss's head.

good job. I think you can go ahead or stop shoot for a while when you use cannon in battle of Allen. Because of the less lag and the best chance of walking forward. But it's only saved very few frames. Your run is good enough.
In mission 7, you should save 15more bombs than my old run. Because you need save all Z before final boss.
Maybe you can use L to kill the last two soldiers, so you have to through these 3 guns again and again.

Final improvement
Yesterday I spent all night trying to find some improvement, but I found none, except for either 2 or 5 frames saved, but were minimal and is now even better your movie
feos: You can replace this movie?
Where these 2 or 5 frames you found? We should improve it, even though they are very small improvement.

I have found these lag frames in campaign missions. But I still didn't found the reason why game give me 8 more lag frames before "design map". I found something interesting addresses like 03000609 and 03005359, but after using cheat, nothing happened.
edit: If kiske didn't find other improvement, maybe this file is the last.

62 frames saved (because of no sound and a small improvement)
It's sync perfect now. Too bad I got the same 8 more lag frames before edit map. I have campared the RAM of old and this new run, but there are 3700 different memory addresses(2bits). I don't know what's reason.
There are 8 more lag frames can be saved in campaign missions, but I must find them very carefully.

What's about turn off the music? The less lag.
I never tried ... But it must be more boring without music, I believe
And, He was replaced the movie? Because I see the same time and re-records... just I say.. I said nothing ! :/
I agree, turning of the music will make this run more boring while not being a notable improvement.
Nice improvement, yes vote. (Using delete was ingenious, saving 1 lag frame per unit built)
Only 2 stages and 4 minutes have no music. Is it really boring? But it can save more than 60 frames.
Another improvement, walking like this picture, you can save 14 frames. Because of the less be supplied. I think this can be fixed easily.

I think the reason is lag, I don't know what's cause it.
I try to sync it. I delete 1 frame at frame 100100, delete 2 frames at about 160320, insert 1 f at 211811, insert 1 f at 275617, delete 1f at 286720. But fail in beat of boss Leviathan in 292500.

Edit: I don't know it is sync for you or not. And I never use svn480, because this verson has more bug than the old. But this time, I use svn480 to fix it.

All right, I find the reason. Allen only can be damaged once in every 4 frames, even use cannan. So I think the best choose is using cannon first when you jump before Allen appear. Maybe you can test hand + cannon is fast than vulcan or not. If no lag, you can use vulcan to shot rocket when he is invisible.
edit: when using cannon hit Allen first time, only damage him 50 point. So if hand + cannon(250+80) is faster than vulcan + 50, you needn't hit him at first time.

mtvf1, how do you manipulate the boss's actions? Is it the timing of when you use the cannons and press B to use vulcan? I'm trying to manipulate it to stay and not retreat and charge at me, but I'm having to delay using vulcan for a bit.
It's very very hard to manipulate boss action, if don't use Tarma. Because you don't have enough HP to let Allen only use rocket.
Also, it seems that if you move forward while using vulcan, some of the hits don't register and the boss loses less hp even though you see all shots hitting the boss...
Don't use hands to hit boss, Gundom's hands power is 250, but it make boss invisible for a long time, only cannon can damage him at that time. So hand is slower than vulcan, and I only use hand for the last hit.
