-Game objectives: -Hard mode
-Aims for fastest time -Abuses glitch
Using the delay scroll * 18 times Comparison with published hard mode movies：
Heatman： 24 frame 24 Total saved
Airman ： 515 frame 539 Total saved
Flashman： 217 frame 756 Total saved
Crashman： 143 frame 899 Total saved
Bubbleman： 369 frame 1268 Total saved

The game files are running in sync with the released hard mode movie version 1.0
Using a special bug
First select a weapon that consumes two spaces. Then pick up a small energy that restores one space Will make this weapon infinite I used item 1 to become infinite in Air man, Flash man, and Metalman, respectively And in the first stage of Willie, AIRman's weapon and item1 each pick up a small amount of energy and become infinitely large.
nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Not much to say, except great job on beating the previous submission!
Accepting to "Standard" for publication.
Note to Publisher: The current download on from the rom hacking site didn't seem to work. It could be me, so I referred back to #2675: woabclf's NES Rockman no Constancy "hard" in 28:59.07 for the original links. IPS merged fine with the main ROM.
despoa: Processing...

Important note: This TAS uses woabclf's posted IPS patch at the top of woabclf's submission. The hack used differs from the officially posted 1.0 hard hack by a single byte. The byte at 0x3833C is changed from 0x02 to 0x01 (this is the amount of energy restored by a small capsule), which enables Item-1 and some other weapon to underflow its energy. (Source: https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Posts/235094 ) (Edit: The SHA-1 doesn't seem to match the one on the game page. But it seems to work nevertheless, and FCEUX recognizes them as having the same checksum.) Comparison encode: Link to video (I tried to match up the videos better so the get weapon screens sync more.)

CUI is using the same ROM as woabclf (previous submission). However, the ROM used differs from the one posted at romhacking.net, by a single byte. More details at https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Posts/235094

I chose the same game rom based on the published hard mode, and I asked a friend to help me find this one

Very nicely done. Looks like just a generalized improvement in every section afaik. Do some of those final robots Airman and Crashman not have weaknesses since both of those got the pellet treatment?

woabclf's TAS of this category is one of my long-time favorites. It's an absolute delight to see a substantial improvement like this. I loved the new techniques in Wily 4 and the fact that you no longer take a death in Wily 2. Amazing work.
