About the run

This is an improvement Version of My TAS. 2819frame was updated.This is because a new zipping glitch was optimized.

Tricks

All the tricks and glitches used in this run can be found here: #2392: gocha's DS Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow in 08:20.12 and #3780: Kriole's DS Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow "All-souls" in 35:08.59.

New zipping glitch

It will reproduce , if screen outside LVUP at a place with a screen change.In order to make it reproduce by the skill of axe, a certain necessity for a change is upside a screen. Furthermore, a return place needs to be in a wall. This place can attain this condition early most.

About the place which made the zipping glitch reproduce this submission

The open space top of the two-room left cannot usually come and go from the place of Flying Armer.but, only by coming and going ordinarily being impossible, there is a map change judging in fact.The zipping glitch is started using this change judging more quickly than the obsolete.Moreover, it stopped on the way in order to earn exp for making it LVUP at this place, and Armer Knight is kill.

Note

  • This glitch can be used also by Julius Mode.Since it can go to Mine of judgement, without setting a flag, julius mode tas should be able to also be updated sharply.

Done; I replaced the submission file with the improvement.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

One thing the author comments don't make clear is how the final boss is skipped. I'm assuming somewhere during the warping you trip a flag, but I'd like to know how it was done.

Yeah, it's a flag somewhere in the corrupt off-the-map memory space. I think one of the earlier glitched runs pointed it out, and had a corner of the screen dedicated to which map locations mapped to what interesting effects.
I am still the wizard that did it. "On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." -- Satoru Iwata <scrimpy> at least I now know where every map, energy and save room in this game is

Ok, so I looked through this TAS again, and just realized that the the last area is right next to the first area that the player starts off. That's an....odd choice to place an evil lair. That's like having a hideout for a criminal organization right next to a police station. Nice TAS and I hope to see the "Julius Mode" version get the same treatment (or better). :)

It's not. The teleport rooms are all connected to one another, and if I am remembering correctly, the teleport point, on the map, for that area is in the bottom-right of the screen. It's just convenient that in all of the zipping that goes on, that room's flag gets set so that it can be teleported to.
