Sorry to raise an old thread but I have a few questions for anyone who TAS's this game.
Did I read correctly you are able to manipulate RNG through how many jumps you do?
And second the double jumpless EX Tank grab for Zero what is the data for this and how are you supposed to do this consistently?

Yes. (I know for sure at least in X5 jumping advances the RNG (because of the random jump sounds X and Zero make). The same principle probably applies in X4 as well.)

<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.
Sorry to raise an old thread again. I did some tests about this game, and made a demonstration of 3 boss glitches. Not sure if these were already known, or can be used in TASes. The first two seems more like a joke, but the third one might be actually useful knowing what has caused it.
The first one is about the fake Jet Stingray showing after the car race, and both X and Zero can kill him with some regular weapons, but it's strange that he can't be damaged using the ice weapon (both X and Zero) and the giga attack of X. Killing him or not won't influence the real Jet Stingray whatsoever.
The second one is Web Spider's HP bar glitch after being hit into -1 HP. He'll still die, of course.
The third one, on the contrary, is Jet Stingray not dying after being hit into -1 HP. There's a way to hit Jet Stingray twice using Frost Tower (for reasons I don't know), which is shown 3 times in this demonstration. I wonder if it can be used in TASes or with Zero.

sparky has a lot of time to kill in the first fight against split mushroom, did he test if the lightning web could damage mushroom during the intro?apparently the spores can hit you so maybe vice-versa?
TAS i'm interested:
megaman series: mmbn1 all chips, mmx3 any% psx glitched
fighting games with speed goals in general
Raiden Ride Armor vs. Magma Dragoon (a TAS just for fun)

Jet Stingray Quick Kill (New Strategy)
150 frames faster than sparky's 100% TAS.

Frost Walrus Quick Kill (New Strategy)
108 frames faster than sparky's 100% TAS.

More improvements over sparky's TAS have been found. But I may not want to start a new 100% TAS soon, because some routes end up really close, hard to calculate, hard to choose.
Recently I've been making an "X low%" TAS. It's a long project, and would take a long time for me to finish alone. Anyone here wants to collaborate? :)

I've been working hard on Mega Man X4 "X, low%" TAS, and now it's mostly done. Here are the first 4 parts of 5, from start to defeating Colonel:

Hopefully I'll finish the whole TAS soon. :)
