"Max HP = 1" is an aspect of playing on the highest difficulty.
There is no in-game benefit for doing so, and no effect that would allow a character to survive what would otherwise be a lethal blow.
Therefore, it makes the run more interesting, and forces a dynamic of switching blades in order to preserve soul power, as well as avoiding the dreaded guard-breaking moves.
First a movie gets submitted, and ends up accepted despite breaking rules other runs have been rejected for. And when I vote less than spectacularly on this movie, I become the victim of harassment and threats.
Yay, favoritism.
How you access the hardest difficulty without SRAM? Some source tells that the hardest difficulty must be unlocked.
While using SRAM would be technically be possible, there are special rules regarding starting from SRAM (such as having verification movie).
Edit: As noted below, there is verification movie in initial post.

I'm really upset with the travelling towards the end. Getting hit at 5:58 is slower by about 20 frames. Hitting the butterfly at 5:32 costs around a second. At 6:14, i jump too late, so i end up too far over, then at 6:18 i'm too far to the left, so the upwards slash aims at the butterfly, pulling me over to the left, costing around 40 frames total for that area. Unfortunately, when i went back to fix all this, i ended up getting an unavoidable fight in the area at 6:20, so it just ended up being slower, so there was nothing i could do about it that wasn't even slower :(
I'm pretty happy with the boss though. Using earth hornet slows my damage down quite a bit compared to normal attacks, but it was necessary to stay alive while continuing to deal damage. It took some work, but i also got the two teleports it uses to stay close to where it was, so i'm pretty happy with that.
Also, 'dat combo :D

Fuuuuuuuuuuucking hell man! I think E.Honda and Chun-Lee are both jealous of that sick combo. I was very entertained by that boss fight. Not much left, go go go!

I am obviously counting only blows one actually receives. >_> I don't count parrying as actually being hit.

Yeah, you obviously didn't watch act 5-7. I take damage, my hp drops to 0, i get knocked around as if i was dead, and then my hp goes back to 1, and i lose the completely unscathed bonus, numerous times.
It makes me kind of sad that after spending so much time dumping in 720p at ~3 fps, then encoding, my youtube encodes have 50-150 views, and then someone rips acts 1-3 to nico with horribly shitty quality, and it gets 50k views and 1600 comments in 2.5 days.
Anyway, act 8 should be done tonight. Submission coming either tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on how long it takes me.

That would mean you "don't survive what would otherwise be a lethal blow".
I'm honestly not aware of how this contradicts my original response, in the original context. So, am I missing something incredibly obvious here? I'm beginning to get the feeling I have. ;_;

To be fair, TASes are one of the more popular things searched for on Nico, and the way things are ranked means you'll just get even more views once you break the top 100 for a category. It is currently 21st most popular for games, 50th for the combined culture rating. You shouldn't expect similar views for something on YouTube since it won't get as much promotion.
Also, the low quality may just have been because you were watching while the site was in economy mode?

Yeah, it doesn't really surprise me.
And no, it's just terrible quality. Which is the entire reason i didn't bother uploading to nico myself.

Just found that. It seems he beats me only because of better luck. His play is clearly inferior. Still not bad, nonetheless.

According to comments in writing to the video, damaging attacks "cut down" seems to focus on. I think this is born with a little difference.
動画に書いてあるコメントによると、ダメージが大きい攻撃の"下切り"を重視しているようです。これでは少し差が生まれるのではないかと思います。

Google is a very bad translator :(. Sorry, but what do you mean by "damaging attacks "cut down" seems to focus on"? Do you mean his attack pattern of 3 attacks then a downward strike? If so, that isn't any faster than what i did.

4 attacks normally attack down one place is usually 1.5 times 2.5 times one might normally write.
I just can not express an opinion so I familiar with this game.
通常4攻撃は通常1の1.5倍 地上下攻撃は通常1の2.5倍と書いてありました。
ただ、私はこのゲームに詳しくないので、いい意見を言うことができません。

Just saved a total of 235 frames on boss 3. This should be damn near unimprovable, since i'm already waiting at the end of every single hp bar in order to prevent getting a 5th, which would cost 20+ seconds.
Total time as of boss 3's death is 76,147 frames, which is a total of 3660 (and 2 smoke bombs) faster than my previous attempt.

Just saved 3,473 frames on the boss 4 fight, cutting the fight almost in half >______________________>
Video coming as soon as it finishes dumping.
Total time savings up to this point is 7,240 frames now, and i'm only about half way through.
Link to video
Looks like i can save even more time. Just managed to save 19 frames, even though the first half of the fight was significantly slower (~200 frames). I almost saved another 300 frames, but the boss can only die in boar form. If you fully drain its hp before then (which is nearly impossible to do), it just goes to boar form, and dies in one hit.
Anyway, the frames were saved with flash. It takes ~25 frames to use and does 40 damage, which is 2-3x more damage/frame than i can otherwise do. I think i might be able to get another 5 seconds off this fight.
Now i have to look into the possibility that other SAs are actually useful :(
Also, after beating the foot at the start, you can actually jump onto the top of its leg, above the screen, instead of on the foot. There's a frame rule at this point making it take exactly the same time (otherwise it would actually be faster than stopping on his foot), so there's no gain/loss, but it looks awesome, so i'll be doing it.
edit: turns out my last attempt finished the first phase 3 frames slower than the best possible time, so doesn't look like flash will be saving as much time as i thought :(

Very impressive work rog. I reckon you might go well sub 1 hour if you keep this up.

Sub 1 hour is definitely impossible. I had saved all of one minute before this boss (plus ~25 seconds more from smoke bombs i guess), and no other boss has a chance of saving more than ~10 seconds, if that much.
Also, looks like the video i posted of boss 4 was exactly 8 frames short of perfect up until the final hp bar. Might save 1-2 more seconds on that, but unfortunately no chance of saving the 5 i estimated before. This makes me both angry that i can't improve it more, and glad that i was so close to perfect before, on what was basically my first attempt at it since i restarted the tas.
edit: saved 166 more frames, for a total of 3638 over my previous submission. Kind of sad that i beat a 2:45 fight by more than a minute x.x;
