It might be possible to run away a few frames earlier in a few random battles. I didn't had these addresses I found after finishing the run:The wait counter goes from 0 to 19, it advances once per frame (or so) if you're holding L+R. What happens is that some times it doesn't advance in a 1:1 relation, hence you may get different results. Monitoring this should make it possible to get the best outcome (if there's one as luck manipulation is not as flexible as I initially though). As mentioned before, I didn't had the addresses mentioned above, but the outcome I got from practice was that it was irrelevant to press L+R the minimum necessary or simply keeping them pressed as I ended using.7E7C5F XX Escape wait counter 7E7BDE XX Escape flag (set it to 1 to escape immediately, even from boss battles)
Using !Flee was slower as far as I remember because you have to wait for your turn, while pressing L+R can be triggered a bit sooner.
The precedent set by the Rockman movie is that only human rerecords should count towards the final count, how many human rerecords went into this movie? Does anyone know? The authors of the Rockman run had a good idea about how many rerecords were done by bot and how many were done by hand, and they cared about the distinction. This author doesn't, and didn't keep track, which is fine. The rerecord count is not used in any process on the site, not considered during judging, and only really used for meaningless statistics. The rerecord count doesn't matter.
deleted "The pushing is due to waiting for the dialog to trigger."
Also, I added which items were used, when they were used. I used the names Molebear Claw, Siren Claw, Cerebus Claw, Poseidon Claw, Drake Scale, Moon Coin, and Papa Poto Claw. You'll see them when they are used against bosses.
neo_omegon, This run is being published. If you feel that it's not up to par then you are free to obsolete it.
Flame Valley - it's not the screen transitions but the animation where half the screen gets drown in flames.
I'm not quite convinced with the way you hide the enemy's information
as it seems it doesn't show it on some boss battles.

endMy concern was that you need to open the menu twice (if you plan to change it back eventually), so that's something to take into account...
"紅蓮" (nelumbo nucifera/nelumbium speciosum) could stand for "鉢特摩（はどま）地獄" (Padma Naraka), the seventh of the eight Cold Narakas. If it is relevent here, it should be translated to "Padma".
SRT now added to youtube. Thanks, OmnipotentEntity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcKJ6tYvvq0 For those who would like a local SRT file, here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qxihvl352xuiqca Here's the ASS file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6q28poy1qdpa92t If you would like the encode to use the file, download the youtube video off of youtube. I created the ASS file with the SRT format in mind, since youtube only allows SRT format. So, I avoid having multiple subtitles together (as compared to the subtitles for the Lagrange Point TAS). New effects are minimal and only consist of three colors or so, and some italics. Feedback is welcome. I probably made a few mistakes and oversights somewhere. Also, my knowledge of the game isn't so good.
notes/ideas for v2 (if I or someone else ever bothers to): -different 3rd character; Riesz offers almost nothing, probably either Duran for more attack at "no cost" or Charlotte to skip one backflash; if Charlotte never buy her weapons, or at least rarely - maybe only Dwarven, Rolante's and Elven weapon -get the moon coin during the revisit of the forest when Kevin onehits the enemies instead of wasting time on the first visit -one atk-up for Hawk against FMH/none for him against Dolan -no CC for Kevin neither get the last weapon for him -better exp/lvl-up management -more Start/Select/L/R-abuse -when lvling up the not-played character switch to it to reduce loading time
only 260 frames ahead? I expected a bit more
I still am not sure who to take this time around as 3rd character.
entertainment trade-offs: 1. Riesz as 3rd character; for what we need in this TAS Duran would be better (+1 Str, nothing else), but both wouldn't contribute much, seeing how the AI often freezes when I'd need it... I like Riesz as a character more, and initially it was planned to class-change with her for the earlier stat-downs and still some muscle; once the AI flaw became appearant this plan was dropped; Hawk gets his versions of the stat-downs still early enough Kevin is simply too strong to need def-down before the two last bosses, missing def-down against bigieu is (over)compensated by not class-changing Riesz
-alternatively choose a different route (though then it wouldn't be "hardest" difficulty?)
Note: These pictures are wrong. I accomplished further 12 frames improvements from jail.I'd be fine with not having it obsoleted. I consider them different games anyways
