Hello everyone! Long time no see again(yes, "again", XD)! This is a MMZ run which is 179frames faster than hellagels's excellent run. For those who are interested, at the end the In-Game time is "6:03".

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: VBA-rr V23
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Takes damage to save time
  • Cancels missions
  • Abuses programming errors in the game
  • Manipulates luck

About the run

This run is not a full stage run, the path in this run exactly is:
-Intro Stage
-Aztec Falcon Stage
-Rescue Shuttle mission; use Escape Unit
-Dual in Desert mission; use Escape Unit
-Base invasion; defeat Hanumachine
-Final Stage 1
-Final Stage 2
-Final Stage 3
-Fin-

Improvements

Most of the improvements are from bosses with a "new weapon" -- full charged buster shoot. With the new way to get the rolling slash, we could also get the charged shoot before teh Final Stage 3, it will helpful in some bosses.

Other comments

Thanks to Rolanmen1 specially for the good way to do manipulates luck in MMZ series.
Thanks to hellagels specially for the new trick in this game.
Also thanks to everyone~
Enjoy!

EDIT:

Thanks to hellagels very much, with his new find, here is the 95frames improvement run could be updated.
The new trick is "spike jump": for some reasons, Zero could climb on the spike without death or take damages only one frame, here is some pictures could show about this:
This trick could be used in the final stage 2, and hellagels complete the improvement work in this run, so i have changed the Nickname and the Realname of author's informations.
Also, thanks to Rolanmen1 again for your RAM address share, it's really saved me!
Thanks to klmz for your new ideas about rolling slash and charged slash, even it's useless finally.
Thanks to TAS-Movie-Editor, this is really
Thanks to the every publisher\encoder in this site, i'm so sorry for the convenience.
Finally, enjoy again!

klmz: Accepted as an improvement to the published movie in the same category.
Nahoc: Processing... Will wait for improvements to be implement before publishing.
sgrunt: Replaced the submission file with the above-mentioned 95 frame improvement.
Nahoc: Will re-encode and publish.

I actually feel more sorry for Hellagelss, as he won't have his run up long... probably due to me taking forever, lol.

Yes Vote. I think you should've posted about you working on a TAS improving hellagel's submittion, that way, hellagel's TAS wouldn't be published until some more time. It's great you improved his run, but at least post about them and stop making it a secret :S

Great. Now we're gonna have to have a rule that says "no submissions of a game for at least 2 weeks after it's published, unless it's in a different category. we don't want to trample over people's feelings of having their freshly published run beaten so soon."
Taking over the world, one game at a time. Currently TASing: Nothing

Yes vote. Two things make me sad. One is I am beaten so soon. The other is I had came up with the same idea about charged buster shoot as computerbird before the movie was submit. He can proof that as I disccussed that with him.

One highly optimized run is just published and there's already another improvement? Nice.

You agian forgot to specially thank me for...uh, maybe noting that it might be worth examing whether it could be faster if you should use charged shots in any boss fight. That was quite a long time ago, though.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

Can you give us a sense of the magnitude of the improvement and how long it's likely to take? You may wish to cancel the submission if it's a large improvement and/or it will take a while to implement.
