Yes vote, I really holp you can upload more your other awesome tases.
I have compared yours and Phil's old run.
title, 1 frames faster.
before die, 216 frames faster.
after die, 201 frames faster. (not 12 frames)
before get shoes, 189 frames faster. (I guess you edit the movie and insert some empty frames for the mouse of stage 4)
left this screen, 187 frames faster. (Because you always choose different way to climb down the ladder in your this movie.)
after get luck bomb(stage 4), 211 frames faster.
end, 209 frames faster. (the same reason before climb down the ladder)
I holp it can be useful for you to improve.

I very like this game, and I'm glad to see you did it.
I know this game is very hard to tas. But this tas is pretty good. I can't believe you can make so many such great tases so quickly.

i played the intro of mmbn4 repeatedly until the tournament,and i believe the seeding is done when starting a new game,it simply never varied the results ,i saved right at the start of the game and went on till the brackets
I think you must watch this nico's tas. he wait too long time at the beginning for the best luck. Did you test the save and reset? If it still havn't changed anything, I think some data be written into the save file when pressing the start.
Link to video
I don't know why cstrakm's all mario kart tas has been deleted. Thanks of nintendo?

Voting no because it took 30 hours (which can be a lot of time if it's spread out over multiple days) is stupid.
If you're going to vote at all, vote for if it was entertaining (as the poll title asks).
I only vote for technical, and the low quality movies never entertain me.

This game can be improved more than 1 minute, there are too much trick can't be used. But this game's desynth like the hell, and x2poet or I don't have enough time to improved it.
Shooting R, C, and G while crouched
I'm not sure why this is used in the others Metal Slug games TASes, but not in MSX. Maybe it wasn't yet discovered at the time?
You are right, didn't discovered at that time.
Invincibility bug
I'm not sure this is going to be helpful, since it has many conditions to trigger it. You need to exit from vehicle, in any wat you want, and keep down pressed. You will stay stay invicible until you stand again. You can use it only the first time you exit from a vehicle in a mission. Also works in MS1.
Of coures, useless trick. You need pick up weapon when jump into the machine.
Metal Slug long jump
The Metal Slug can travel quick for a moment if it jumps in the moment it lands on the end of a descent. This can be used to save moments in the first Mission. I discovered it by jumping right after landing in front of the distroyed truck. I will publish a movie to show it.
very useful in 1 player run in mission 4.
Outdistancing before starting firing with H
I've noticed how x2poet jumps at 0:46 in order to approach to the enemy target. This saves some time since the H bullets take some time to travel, as opposed to L. The same strategy can be used when starting firing. When x2poet reaches the first boss, it approaches before starting firing. Since the boss can't be damaged after some moments after it appears, this time should be used to walk away, in order to start shooting earlier and THEN approaching, in order to make more damage in less time. This can probably be applied to other situations and other Metal Slug games, like MS3.
No, vulcan's power is very low, as the same as hand gun. And it can cause the large lag.
Camel kamikaze attack on first boss
I noticed that after the boss has raised from the ground, the Camel kamikaze attack will hit it 46 times (scoring 4600 points). I wonder how much damage does.
Quick pistol picking up
When a weapon ammos are out, you can swich to the pistol istantly if you are jumping or crouched. This is also unused for the current MS3 TAS.
It could be quicker when turn around, just like my ms7 run.
Running out of ammo in the right moment (It combines well with the previous trick)
Since some weapons, expecially S and F, have low fire rate, it would save some moments if the weapon runs out of ammo when the boss or other enemy has a very low HP, wich would be quicker to defeat. This would sometime need to voluntarily waste ammo.
If you use F shot out the screen when stand on the side, you can find the interesting things.
Using Slugnoid aganist the second mission boss
The Slugnoid can shot all its cannon ammo in a blink of eye if it's close enough. This would also comine well with the invincibility bug, since would also allow to quickly throw the granades from inside the boss hitbox.
If you want to use bug, you have to get H.
Standing on the fifth mission mid-boss cannon
It it possible to stand on the front part of the mid-boss. It would allow to fire R or C while crouched without the risk of being killed crushed by the mid-boss approaching.
Do you know the bug of L? One of players keeping L is the best choise.
Avoid the last prisoner in the fifth mission
Since the prisoner weapon is useless, make him walk away before the boss appearing. This would spare some frames during the prisoner report on end mission.
The biggest improvement is beating with boss5. You should save them at the first time, not avoid them, and keep the useless weapon in side. For what? Reduce the lag!
Hit and run jump
The situation in wich this is the most useful is during the first boss in the sixth mission. In the current TAS, the player 2 (Fio) fires F from the roof of that sort of little house. It is possible to inflict more damage if before firing, you jump to approach to the enemy and coming back before landing on the same spot. This will also increase the speed rate of granade throwed.
Why not press down to increase the speed of granade?
Plains in third mission before the boss
I'm not sure about this, but I was wondering if using the Slug Flyer missiles is possible to destroy the enemy planes quicker.

I like it very much. Easily vote yes.
But what's meaning Takes damage to save time? Did you take damage? When or where? I didn't find it.
edit: I found it, vs samus.

Sorry, no vote. klmz's unpublic run is 24 seconds faster than yours. It's means there are too much big improvement for a very short game.
And I'm sorry for could't share it, too. klmz gave me some complete and imcomplete movie files and tell me keep them secret long time ago.
klmz's frames is 6482. Try to beat it.

I mostly forgot this [2128] NES Chack'n Pop by GeminiSaint in 06:55.63.
There is a one minute faster tas in nico Post #331038. And the Judge still accepted it.
If these have been accepted, this run could be, too, though I think all of them should be rejected.
