I have made some tests. (VBA23.5)

I have to say this game is very hard to tas. I need to keep enemy using the least chips, But I have the less chance to manipulate luck. e.g. wait before be in shop or battlechip GP, use different type chip, use slot chips.
And I hit this game's dialogue, because it isn't easy to pass ABABAB or A_A_A.
In my test1, I got ZapRing3, Yo-Yo2, Dynawave these three chips from shop. And cost few frames for the better luck before join in battlechip GP, but I still got a useless chip recover50 and cost 24 frames, and numberman used his only one chip. It's very close to perfect.
In test2, I got ZapRing3, Dynawave, Meteor4. Though Meteor4 has the max 160 power, it's really hard to control. I can't get more than 120 dmg from Meteor4 when battle with numberman, except I rechange the random before join in battlechip GP. I found different chip cost different time. In these chips, meteor4 cost the most time, Meteor4>Yo-Yo2>ZapRing3>Dynawave. So I give up this test.
I got Yo-Yo2, Dynawave, Meteor4 in test3. After my test1and2, I'm sure ZapRing3 is the best chip, it can stun enemy, and prevent enemy to use the navi chip. So I give up it, too.
This lua I write is used for shopping to dump the chips' ID when shopping. It is helpful to get the chip which you want. After get one chip, random point + 2. for example, if you want to get the 56th chips from the dump file. You need to wait 112 frames before be in the shop. Notice, If you wait 1 frames before shopping, you could get different chip list. You can test by yourself, like even array and odd array.
Language: lua
local iterations
local value
local i
local j
local chip = 0x02007060
file = "mbccchip"
mbccchip = file..".dump"
io.output(mbccchip)
iterations = 10
for i = 1,iterations do
for j = 1,10 do
memory.writeword(0x02007110, 0xFFFF)
value = memory.readbyte(chip)
vba.frameadvance()
while value == memory.readbyte(chip) do
vba.frameadvance()
joypad.set(1,{["A"]=true})
vba.frameadvance()
end
io.write(memory.readbyte(chip)," ")
end
io.write("\n")
end
Suggest: use this code to get hubstyle in the later.
Name : LAN Code : 5(star)4H-B81R-(star)KKZ-P15X-ZS5B-(club)XK0
Try to get these 4 chips from 16 person tournament. Feos should be hubstyle, because of the lowest HP, 200.
Meteors GaiaSwrd BgRedWav HeroSwrd
With fireNAVI, Meteors can dmg max 600HP, BgRedWav can delete enemies' chips easily.
With woodNAVI, GaiaSwrd can delete most enemies with only one hit.
In face, it's very hard to get these 4chips.
