I'm just going to break everything I saw down to keep it easy for everyone to know what I was thinking when I was watching this.
Entering Options takes 4 frames, author does it in 5.
Menuing and placing in the cheat for all characters is suboptimal.
The sequence of input can be done in 13 frames, the author does it in 35 frames (this is including the changing the difficulty level as well).
After that Story Mode can be selected in 3 frames, author does it in 6.
These continued menuing issues continue throughout the TAS from selecting the character, and selecting the stages.
This can be a sign for the low rerecord count where the author decided to make the movie as quickly as possible instead of taking their time.
low% seems to be arbitrary and shouldn't be listed at all.
This is apparent at the immediate start of Stage 3 (the first stage selected) when the author backtracks for some coins after defeating a wave of enemies.
And also the high score that the author gets after defeating the wave of enemies due to combos. I personally got 3990 as my score after the first wave whereas the author got 9710 (both in Stage 3).
As well as collecting the power-up immediately at the start of Stage 4. If you were playing "low%" shouldn't you be aiming for stock player stats?
The mode can be played with 2 players as an additional note, does this change anything from playing in single player?
The author classifies this as a "playaround" but I personally believe that is entirely unnecessary and believe it's probably more appropriate to branch this as "Story Mode".
There are RTA runs that are faster than what's on display here if we remove the playaround element, and uses a default character; Kasumi.
Which brings the question of; Which of the 12 characters is fastest to use?
This Tas was made for Higher Combo Count and Stylish Defensive option but i don't know which tag is fit for that, so i used playaround as i think it's fit the most ! I'm gonna change my tag as soon as i can find the better one !
