Submission Text Full Submission Page Publication Page

You named Judah this appeal today in the mini bar, you have this man who killed homeless for everyone to hear. It is impossible, is the victory of human emotion and spirit, in the United States, all the costs are considerable warmth proof, and wait for it, you can see, I know you all these people, is a fascinating story, it is. In any case, it is to kill all the Jews because of their access to a discount of 100 yuan in cash to return the third layer, at least his lunch, which is the most favorite KARMA REVENGEANCE revenge recovery.

Game objectives

Emulator used: PSXjin v2.0.2
Uses Dirty Sram ( made with PSX Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (USA) by zggzdydp, same as both of the previous TASes)
Abuses programming errors
Takes damage to save time
Manipulates luck
Ends input early

Improvements

Uses screen pause override. Not nearly as ubiquitous as in 100% but still saves a number of seconds in this run as well
Luck manipulation is a lot better. This is the best luck manipulation I've done in a run, period
New revenge tech on Life Apple Harpy
Wolfing in Clock Tower is a lot better
New Richter skip saves quite a few seconds over the old clip into the slope, especially with the big toss
Boomerang usage is more optimized in all instances
I'm significantly less awful at TASing than when I made my first attempts at this game

Other Comments

So yeah, nothing to see here. Go see the submission text for my first attempt if you want decent comments

Noxxa: Judging.

Noxxa: Accepting as an improvement to the published movie.

feos: Publish.

That was pretty nifty. The new Richter skip especially stood out. Yes vote.

I loved the wiggling shield dashing. And the really silly fire boomerang jumps. And the new Richter skip. And the extremely frequent big tosses. Really great TAS! Yes vote for sure.

I think that Alucard, pretty much like myself at the moment, is constipated... anyways, Yes to yet another great run.

I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

My parrot didn't let me watch this, but he voted yes.

Every time I see a SotN tas from Foregone there's always something new and amazing. The use of big tosses was what really impressed me, and not just the Richter skip, but the sheer number of useful BTs was what made this for me. Also, I legit want Foregone to write a novel.

Somewhat damaged.

Another excellent run. I loved the big toss use, and that you managed to refine the Fire Boomerang use enough that you could just buy those instead of needing the Duplicator. Yes vote.

The gibberish at the openings of his recent submissions reminds me of the gibberish that used to let spam emails dodge spam filters.

Can't watch the encode because of GEMA. Obvious no vote.* I'll have to wait for a different encode or until after it's published, or get my hands on ROM/emulator/movie file. * Just kidding, obviously.

I admire your dedication to TASing SOTN, ForegoneMoose. You've made all these different categories a pleasure to watch. I look forward to watching any additional improvements in the future!

What frame is that "New Richter skip" at? Can't pick a good screenshot.

The screenshot should have Alucard being flung leftwards with Richter in the frame.

I think the best moment would be with Richter on the right side of the screen, with alucard already past the room.

Publication number adds to creepiness.
