Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I posted and more than a year since I started this, but I just haven't had the time for the last few months to work on this. I have a some time this week so I tried to pick off from where I left off, but I'm having some trouble trying to manipulate the boss. I'm trying to make it go left and still get 6 hits with F, but I can't seem to find the solution. So now I'm posting this wip here to open the question to anyone who is interested. If anyone can find a good solution to this, it will be greatly appreciated. wip

I think the most important reason of 6 hits with F is boss up and down, and the opportunity of shoot. In x2poet's run, he made the boss in the left, but most of F only hit 5 times. He shot in the bad moment. Maybe you can jump and change the shoot of opportuniy (y axis).

i didn't want to just bump for news but are you still working on this TAS,mtvf1? You're my hero.I'm still looking for places to learn programming so i can TAS better. Good luck!

Sorry, I didn't work it after last upload. After compare with the J and U version, I found a very big trouble. The reason of U version be faster than J version when Jack in is the less lag frames. Sometime U version's dialogue is longer than J version's, but both of them use the same RNG(RNG stop work when lag frames). It's mains that if I can't find the enough way to improve, I would miss the best luck, specially when can only use the last folder. The nico run's quality is bery very high, and very hard to be improved. In this 10 minutes wip, I only saved very few frames, and saved fewer RNG, because I shoot the more times in teaching bittle, and cost more RNG. So I have to stop now.

mission4! All saved 1846 frames, now! Part1, I lost 18 frames, because I only use shotgun to hit helicopters, but it can save 60 frames in boss battle. Part2, saved 115 frames. I give up get a card which add the grenade's power. This card add very low power to grenade, 100 to 120. x2poet got this card cost about 200 frames. But I mustn't use any shotgun or grenades. So I have to use knife to kill soldiers, and got the very large lag frames. Part3, saved 580 frames. Manipulate luck to reduce lag, and didn't take grenades. Taking these grendes would cost near 500 frames. Boss fighter, lost 94 frames, because I have the less grenades. 26 shotgun(200) + 20 grenades(100) = 7200 the boss HP!

Mission3! Totle Improved 1263 frames! Part1, avoid some foes appear. Part2, manipulate luck and kill some bats. Which bats should be killed is all luck. Part3, manipulate luck to make dive_soldiers appear early. Boss, I found a faster way to use metalslug's Vulcan. I can shoot 1 more time in every 10 shots. So I made the boss being mad quickly. But I didn't always use it. Becuse the more bullets in screen the more lag. I choose the minimum distance to shot, and make the less bullets in screen. So I got the less lag. When I shot the last cannon, I thrown the metalslug atonce. If no slug in screen, the scene fade quickly. I found it in mission2's boss fighter. So though my bombs are 1 less than the published run in boss fighter, I still saved 130 frames.

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1517530514/MSA_mission2.vbm Mission2 completed! I have improved 806 frames. I found the way to skip the first fighter helicopter(650HP). First, I can't save a prisoner to get H. 2nd, wait for blockhouse fire. I think the reason is RAM. If I save the prisoner, his memory address would be released, and can't skip helicopter. When the blockhouse firing, there're not enough memory to put helicopter. In mission2 part2, I left 5 firebottles(80 power) after beat submarine(600HP). It haven't costed any more frames. Because if I can't skip next 2 helicopters, I would use these 5 firebottles to hit them. But luckily, I succeeded to skip them. Boss fight. When emptying the Rocket Launcher in the air, I can't use handshot atonce, so I throw one firebottle. I must hit 3 soldiers first, the yellow soldier would appear. I found a best way to save Laser's arms. 10 frames, 32 damage and 0.5 arms! Yes! 0.5 arms.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/4298031641739435 This is my wip. I have completed mission 1 and improved the publish one 121 frames. In mission 2, I plan to give up metalslug(because the slug is very slow), and take H to the end to manipulate luck L. But this game's manipulation luck is like the hell. I'm trying skipping the first helicopter of misssion2.

I found a faster way to use H. zk547, you can use it in mission5's 2nd boss. press |→B|→B|→|→|→|→|↘B|↘B|↙|↙|→B|→B| or |→B|→B|(blank)|(blank)|(blank)|(blank)|↓B|↓B|←|←|→B|→B| this is no move.

New improvment I forgot to use reset in the title, and improved another 2 frames at begain. Totle saved 77 frames. Mothrayas, replace the movie file, please. I have tested that this file sync perfectly, and have Modifyed the information, too. The info's "frame" have been reduced 100 frames, the "time" has been reduced 2 seconds. But I think no need to replace screenshot. I hope no one has encoded yet. This is last, I don't plan to improve again.

In case anyone's wondering, I'm still working on the mission 4 boss (I haven't been able to work on this everyday). I'm trying to manipulate the boss to go to the left without having to delay any F or L. Currently the best possible way I found is to delay shooting L for 3 frames with no delay for F. I'll keep looking for other ways if possible.

Why you let boss go to left? Because of the less death-ray in screen and the less lag? And what's meaning "3 frames" ? why not 2 or 4 frames? Because metalslug is 30 fps game in 60 fps system, every 2 frames have 1 frames which no effect.

Sorry, I made some mistake. Laser gun shot 4 times when pass A, not 5 times. So Laser's real arms is equal to 250, and 4000 damage in all!

Shooting upward on the ground does the most damage. Shooting upward while jumping is the fastest way to shoot F, but each shot does less damage. I don't know how much. I'll have to do some testing with that.

After my test, I think you can choose the fastest way to shot. If you can keep every flame shot's main flame hit boss 6 times(when jumping, you can hit 6 times, too), only need 31 or 32 Flame shot. You have 1000 frames to use L, so in these 1000 frames, try to use most F. F every 32 frames 1 shot, in normal place(if no lag). I think you have enough time to use F, 1000/32+1≈32 (1 is first shoot). Edit: The middle's Y pixel is higher than side, maybe in the middle is faster than in the side, when using F.

Are you saying that in the first mosquito fight, I should jump and shoot F sideways because it does more damage than just shooting upwards?

Jump and shot upward, I don't think shot sideways can damage mosquito. In the first 26 frames, F has the big power. After 26 frames, only side flames working. But after carefully watching, I think you no need to redo it, because your F's main flame has hit mosquito 20 times, it's enough. It's seemed F has the large hitbox. You can go on doing next boss4, and test how F hitting this boss has the max power. I think only shotting upward on the ground is enough. Edit

I know that in 1 player mode, if you throw away your slug at the very beginning, you can get an extra bomb and F or C. But as far as I remember, this is not the case in 2 player. There's no bomb, C, or F. Of course I will check to make sure that is correct.

Tested, 2player can't get anything, but you can throw them when you meet first boss, Mr Allen, and manipulate luck for bombs from motorcycle-soldier.

ALL right, added the boss4. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=321900#321900 Do you know how the FlameShot work? FlameShot include main flame and side flame. Main flame power is 20 and hit 13 times in 26 frames, if no lag. The side flame power is from 0 to 5, but hit more long time. F's all power is 314. The data's change you can see: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1634986592 So you should jump and use F to shot mosquitoes. In the beginning of mission5, you can try to throw the plane at first time. I know in 1player, there is a chance to get F.

Yes vote for moon or higher. Very high quality play and awsome glitches be used. I think you can improve the 2 players, too.

Probably 50% of the runs on that list have only 1-player runs, as 2-player is slower. This run is faster then the 2-player run, but are the improvements exclusive to 1-player?

2players run will cost lots of frames in slot machine.

Alright, finally finished the first section of mission 4. I wanted to get further, but the emulator wasn't being cooperative. I'm at the pyramid section and about to engage the mosquitoes. The question is, whether I should pick up C or stick with H. C does 30 damage compared to H, which does 10, and is much better suited for fighting them. If I pick up C, I engage the mosquitoes about 100~120 frames (rough comparison) later than if I had stuck with H. X2poet, mtvf1, any thoughts?

Do you mean pack up C will cost more 100~120 frames, or you have tested that use C is slower than H? These mosquitoes' HP are 140(I'm not sure every mosquitoe has the same HP). Don't forget C's smoke can damage mosquitoe, too. But all the C and H are slower than F, because F can hit more mosquitoes in once attack. I don't konw C or H is better, but you can manipulate luck and use F to hit most mosquitoes.

Hey guys, sorry for the inactivity for the past few months. I was really hoping I could finish this soon, but a combination of lack of motivation and real life stuff kept me from getting any further. Recently, I just got motivated to work on this again. I managed to save about 15 frames from Jupiter King and now making progress in mission 4. mtvf1, if you could add the rest of the boss HP (mission 4 and 5) here sometime, I would appreciate it.

All right, if you meet the boss, post your wip here, I will help you find the boss HP. Boss4HP is very important.
