i'm so sorry but the jumping sound effects at the beginning made me think of this old video and then I was too distracted until I could post and get this out of my head..

e- Yeah I've always liked this game, and your run does a really good job of both showing it off and whipping it quick. Yes vote for sure.
Thanks. It really was a hard run to produce. I'm glad it is over.

I wanted to make sure that I mention Dimon12321's effort. Because you have asked not to be a co-authorship, I have respected that and let ZeoKnight be the sole owner.

Two things:
1. The submission doesn't really explain why you stopped at the point you did instead of say, trying to max out the score or find a point the game becomes completely impossible.
Oh crap...I totally forgot to add that. Thank you!

I usually don't comment on submissions, but this was worth a comment. This is shocking to see how much time was saved, considering you are going for early input ending.

I was curious to see how much I could save time over darkman's run. And this is what I got. I had to wait 10 frames or so to attack in middle of last dragon fight so this might be improvable.

Just uploaded this; however, I see the time is 14 something minutes. Did you give me the wrong SRAM anchored movie?

Is this cleaning up octopuscal's inputs? If so, then we need to add octopuscal to the authors list.
(If so, I will compare the inputs, if I get a chance to judge this submission).

CoolHandMike has made a video about using TAStudio. I think if you give this a try, you'll find out that the results will be far greater and more rewarding.
https://youtu.be/AzDjBO7_fWk
I would like to see this TAS succeed. So please give that at try and let me know what you plan on doing.

maybe about an hour. I'm just confused on why it matters when I end the TAS at the highscore scene or not since the game itself is already complete and this tas was meant for score I guess-
Even though this run was based on scoring, we still want it to be done efficiently. Someone could easily optimize this run and obtain the same score, while beating your effort. Ending input, at about the "Initials Entry" screen would give you an extra boost in your TAS time...as they are not necessary for the game to finish out.
I think you have a good start here, and on top of that...this is a good game. If one hour is all that was spent, then it is certainly going to be a run that can be beaten easily. If you wouldn't mind, can you use your existing work as a "benchmark", and try using the TAStudio Editor to explore what I have mentioned? I think you'll be surprised as the outcome.

Is that supposed to be something that HAS to be done in order for this tas to come through? If so, how do I even fix that?
It is one of our checks. I noticed it, when I took a look at your inputs.
Don't panic. But how long did it take for you to make this movie? Maybe we can figure out something here.

There are a few things that I want to discuss.
1. It appears that you are using "Slow Recording", with manual inputs. True? You can get a lot better results by using "TASStudio".
2. It is not necessary to play the game out to the very end of the "High Score" list. From my account, you can end at 32102...and let it coast to the end. Instead, you end at 32487. This will save you 385 frames.
