'Like the japanese version, you can cancel animations for subweapons. The only way this is done in the run is by activating a subweapon the frame before a character lands from a jump.' This run IS on the japanese version though, so I think this line needs to be rewritten.

Ack, that's what I get for lazy submission writing. Fixing.
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

Another surprising submission. Easy YES vote for improving an almost 10-year-old movie.

I'm glad to see the old Castlevania runs being updated. I think you overlooked this, however: Link to video You also jump many times during the graveyard section in Block 1. If I remember right, you can manipulate the zombies by turning around for a frame, which is much faster than jumping.

Why didn't this get accepted? Its beats the current run on this site by about 40 seconds I believe.

decision: cancelled
Probably because the author cancelled it because of things overlooked as mentioned in the thread.
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero
