Mother's Day is nearing the end of the day. This run improves the last published movie by 39 frames (0.65 seconds). Overall, this run is very similar to the previous movie since it has improved the record with only better luck manipulations without creating a new route. So I'll only write about the characters' states he didn't describe.

Relationship between Strength and HP

When each character is leveled up, they gain Fight, Speed, Wisdom, Strength, and Force abilities based on their unique constants. Basically, each ability affects its corresponding state. For example, Fight are Offense, Speed are Defense, Strength are HP, and Force are PP. The value of each ability and state is proportional to each other, and must be absolutely high maximum HP of Ninten in order to survive the attack of the Giegue. Therefore, to increase Ninten's maximum HP, you must always increase Strength ability to 3 when leveling up. Other abilities don't need to be increased to 3. Under the above conditions, after defeating six Last Starman, Ninten can gain a total of 105 HP at level 13.

Masterjun: Accepting to Vault as an improvement to the previous run.
The discussion thread posed the question why we have two runs of the same game with the same goal in Vault. The answer is simply one uses the USA version, and one uses the JPN version. Our movie rules allow different versions of games with significant gameplay differences to be published side by side.

Given that the "warpless" run is also vault, should this obsolete both?

I think so in any case because this run is faster than the warpless one and it wouldn't respect Vault rules.

Personally, I would prefer keeping both categories published, as they're radically different. You could argue that since the version choice significantly affects the way the run plays out, they count as two separate games. As for the run, Yes vote. It's nice to see an improvement to the run, however small it is.

I agree with the scrimpeh's opinion. It should be regarded as a separate category and wouldn't interfere with each other. And dear judge: I've found one small mistake and just edited it. The new movie is 64 frames faster. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/47153835947412647

I thought versions obsoleted each other in vault though? How does versions on the same console regarding obsoletion work with respect to vault rules?
