That just game me an idea. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1714346959/Battletoads%20Test.fm2
Nice zip route and nice background ;) http://twitpic.com/617efp
The test is done. Maybe I'll encode it. Still 1+ minute faster than the fastest published Battletoads TAS. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1108884453/Battletoads-2P-Warps-Test-TAS-feos.fm2 But I can't resume the work if no one helps with the glitch (submitting as it is isn't acceptable for me).
Thank you FractalFusion! Nice LuaScript. About Astro Man battle. I know it can save 7 frames at least. But, I wonder whether it is possible due to his moving and invincibility. Cold revisit http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1951339161/R%26F%20100CD%20cold%20revist.smv Now, it's 32 sec faster. 360 bolts are necessary for next shopping. I managed to collect them!
Hello everybody. A half year passed since my last Rockman & Forte run. And, I decided to make my 100CDs run. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1281969929/100CD%20dynamo%20375bolts.smv 863 frames saved so far, instead 145bolts and 1CD lost. (I'm gonna pick up this CD later.) Perhaps, this run will save over 1 minute if it comes up to my expectation.
Due to a bug posted by VincentASM on FESS, I saved an additional 1166 frames (19s26f) in chapter 9. The preparation for optimal use of the bug goes back to chapter 6, so any savestates you may have after that won't work. People who don't like Lyn's normal mode will enjoy this trick. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2205/FE7.vbm I'm still foolishly hoping for a better chapter 8 manipulation, so at this rate I'll never reach Eliwood's mode.
I found out about M.Card may be able to use instant kill Wily. And I tried it. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/414023436/RnF_Wily_M.Card.smv As a result, sad to say, I failed. Explanation: This movie abuses weapon appears erroneous position glitch, and aims for hitting M.Card to Wily at the moment when he appeared. It may be better watching this movie with weapon's position.Even if this succeeded, it is too late to use due to very long preparation time.Weapon1 x: 0x7E0CE0, y: 0x7E0CE2 Weapon2 x: 0x7E0D20, y: 0x7E0D22 All of them are 2byte unsigned
http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/313641172/RnF_king2_ceiling.smv If it is possible to go this route without pause, it may be faster. Sliding under the ceiling trick without pause is very difficult, it rarely succeeds. I don't understand accuracy condition for use it. Actually, I couldn't use it only once. (in Tengu Man level) Normally, M.Card can't be used to recover other weapons energy. Because, it is impossible to change to other weapons until return M.Card.
(1) Takes damage -> attack delays -> late for non-invincible time. Damage from boss is faster than other place. (2) The ceiling is too short to use trick. Moreover, I have to get weapon energy from rabbit. (3) Even if I can get weapon energy form Eddie, it is not fast. Because, Eddie's work is enough long too, necessary attack frequency can't be reduced.
(1) Do you mean second attack to boss is not fastest? It delays bit to take damage for active Counter Attacker. (2) I'll check it later. (3) I couldn't get weapon energy from Eddie. Perhaps, it doesn't drop weapon energy.

Alongside Forte, I've started making Rockman any% run again. And I found a new trick for Rockman. Slide under the ceiling without pause menu. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/37896664/RnF_slide_under_ceiling.smv
On second thought I will just go ahead and post the WIP right now to show you all the time saver in the 3rd room (1st large oil pit) that I was talking about. Even though I wasn't done with that stage, I didn't want to keep you guys waiting: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1563515452/Mega%20Man%206%20%28U%29%20by%20GlitchMan%28WIP10%29.fm2 I'm also having luck manipulation problems with enemies again (I seem to be running into that problem a lot lately)! They just won't stop dropping those flames that cause lag. :(
Tengu and Grand were completed. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/802397768/RnF_Forte_Grand.smv Now, total saved frame is 1997. (about 33sec) At 52370 frames, here is a new trick, into lower corner and erase I.Wall. It is available for Rockman too.
Burner (bit), Pirate remake and Tengu done. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1674720528/RnF_tengu.smv I improved about 400 frames thanks to into lower corner trick.
Think there's a way to get it to continue going towards the right in the dropped flames room (where you end the video? There still appears to be a ceiling there, though off screen. Maybe you can make it work?
