You beat me to it! We apparently made these TASes at the same time, I just went for lunch before posting it here: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/669574632/BattleKid2-demo.fm2 You're clearly improving as a TASer. I'm not as much ahead of you as the input file shows, because I didn't take the portals and also ended the input earlier.

Woo, I'm really excited for this. Great WIPs by the two of you so far, I'm really looking forward to the full game and its eventual TAS. Please, do keep it up

Because of the Engine demo, I was able to test out Feather physics again. Completely identical to Battle Kid 1, except that becauase the controls respond even quicker, you can slow your fall even more, from 2/3 pixel/frame, down to 1/2 pixel/frame, with the pattern of up/release/up/release. (formally, up/release/up/release was basically up/up/up/up in Battle Kid 1.) Also, Water/Sludge Fall speeds are completely identical, feather/no feather.

TASed the Engine Demo mode of this game, effectively abusing the underwater feather physics again, and bypassing a wall jump that most players would actually have to use, in the feather room. The only thing left, is to do an Easy mode TAS, in which you CAN take damage to save time.

New version of the battle kid 2 demo up, and it goes even farther than the original demo, and as such, needs to be TASed. Heck, because of the way it was coded, it can even be directly transitioned into the full game, when it comes out, and its rom dump made.

JMan is streaming a full game from the console (Sivak appears in chat for the second part): http://twitch.tv/megaultrajman/b/354093162 http://twitch.tv/megaultrajman/b/354381599 EDIT: Finished watching it myself. Sivak even calls JMan vie Skype and they talk after the 7 hour mark of the 2nd vid. Sivak now is in Japan. Their talk is pretty long :)

The new demo is available here. Played through it. WIP Once a rom dump is made, I am likely to continue the TAS from there, assuming no desyncs.

TAS successfully resumed and completed. It is available here. I own a Limited Edition cart, which I made a personal rom dump of. I will NOT provide this rom to anybody, so don't bother asking. The unlimited retail version is exactly the same, except for what it says near the bottom of the title screen. Some route optimizations I can make, for my next run through. Don't get Portal B, or the Cave Orrexium at first possible opportunity. Portal B will be used later to go to Portal E, and the Cave Orrexium will be collected on the way to the Aquatic base. Also, gotta figure out how to luck manipulate Verdigrime, to not do its slime from mouth attack, as that significantly slows down the fight. For those that do dump their own rom, Line 132 of datalatch.cpp will need to be modified, to setprg16(0x8000, latche & 0x1f);, as this game uses a 512K UNROM board. The existing mask only supports a <= 256K UNROM board.

Movie File Download:http://www.multiupload.nl/3WQ1OAFS9G I'd like to improve my movie BUT, I think my movie is not enough entertainment. Or the game doesn't suit to make a TAS. How to do next?

I think the game is quite entertaining. If it is not too hard, you can try to improve it. Edit: I think you should get the XY coordinate item at 1:37, since it is a 100% run.

You made the same mistake I did, and went and collected the cave orrexium shard at the first opportunity, when you could have collected it on your way to the aquatic base. In fact, watch my unfair run TAS, and merge in any improvements you see. I can see a major one in the aquatic base regarding the fans and spikes. And yes, XY item is part of the 100%. One more optimization, do not get Portal B at first opportunity. You will get that when you are coming from the aquatic base, to head to the ice caves. Your route from Portal D to the 7th Orrexium shard is faster than my route from Portal A to the 7th Orrexium shard, by about 400 frames.

The video with extended hud is good. In fact, I am very lazy that I only check and improve my movie for little time, quality is low,My movie needs a lot of improve,The improvement point that caitsith2 talk is all true, For another example when i am ice mountain,In the memory game,Just because of my bad skill,After the third round I can not let each point locked in an orrexium through control luck.And it's going to need a lot of details processing in my movie,I'll contine to make it,and try to make it perfect.I aslo going to collected XY item to correct the mistakes.

My lua script as contained in the first post is what provides the hitbox and extended hud. Definitely make sure to watch my run too. There are things from it that are faster.

Is it known how randomness works in this game?

Several random number generation routines. One of them uses controller input, and the something from the music engine. However, not all of the things that use randomization use that routine. It would have to be looked at on a case by case basis.

I mean, is it known how to manipulate bosses patterns, or orexium letters, or flashing crystal sequences?
