Go Go Ackman 3 is one of my favorite Snes games, and I really want to TAS it. Well, I was a bit stupid when I uploaded a submission without making a WIP and accepting improvements suggestions, I'm really ashamed. Now, I'm working on a revised version of my TAS. Here's a full Stage 1 WIP: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1784663894/Go%20Go%20Ackman%203.smv What's New: I beat part of the stage sliding (As someone suggested) I managed to capture a frame to skip cutscenes (No more Button Mashing as you can see) I beated the first sub-boss faster I could hit the final boss right after he lost his invencibility. I managed to Kill all enemies in the racing part, making it less boring I'm open to improvement suggestions. I will work more later. And sorry my poor english.

I suggest that you upload your WIPs at http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php. It is easier to download from there, and it gives information about the movie.

Looks a lot better so far. But I think it could still be faster. What I've noticed is that there seems to be a lot of running after a slide before jumping. Is it possible to jump right after sliding? It also appears that there are a few places where you could slide more. Try to slide as much as possible. Also, jumping doesn't make you faster. Avoid jumping unless you need to, and stay near the ground to slide more. Autoscroller: did you check to see if the other vehicles took less time? Personally, I like the airship, since you can shoot, but you should pick the one which gives the least time. Bosses: The bombs do the most damage. However, there aren't that many of them. So you should use the sword on the ones which take less sword hits, and use bombs on the rest.

- In Stage 2 is possible to get Sword Lv 3, that causes a lot of damage. - I noticed the vehicle sections time can chance. I will try to improve this. - Yes, it's possible to jump right after the slide, but the jump will reach less distance.

Movie updated: I managed to save 3 seconds using the helicopter, and it looked cooler than the Bike. As a bonus, i made a Wip of the first half of stage 2, please, everyone fell free to suggest improvements: Download: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1730574628/Go%20Go%20Ackman%203.smv Encode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N0HWjyDyaU

Just finished Stage 2. I've noticed that Ackman's slides looks better than Tenshi's Slides. Howerver, I should use Tenshi in the first half of Stage 3 to skip a Sub-Boss battle. and finish one particular section faster. In second half of Stage 3, I should get Ackman back.
