For example Heatman boss fight looked much better in Morimoto's video since he didn't jump so high jumps over Heatman when he fireburstes, for instance. And no run is perfect after all.... :)
well, bubble man and heat man were a bit boring but the other levels are perfect.
Nope, for example the Air Man fight could be played a lot more fluently.

He fires a superfluous looking Item2 in Wily3. This was completely intentional, and copied from Finalfighter's wilys.mpg. The idea is indeed to drain Item2 a bit so that when the last time he uses it (the second last spike room of Wily4), the item2 will disappear during his jump, resulting in an optimal jump.
It's quite a cunning idea.

I thought of the other one. During Quickman's stage, he uses the Time Stopper to freeze those instant-kill beams. But why does he run off the screen to the left and reappear on the right? What time does that save?

He has to do that because he's over-extended (he has once exited the screen via the right edge).
The screen visually displayed (although completely black due to the lack of lights) is different than where he's walking in. He has to return to the right screen via the left edge, or he can't progress further.
The same thing happens in Wily4 (could, at least. I don't remember whether Slide actually did it there).
You can experiment this phenomenon yourself if you try this FMV:

(You need Famtasia with From Now Recording support.)
Stop the movie at a sufficient moment and try playing.
News from Finalfighter: because Morimoto has gone missing, he has decided to proceed recording himself from Metal Man stage.
After finishing this stage he is considering giving a preview of the work so far.
He is estimating the total clear time to about 25:50.
Progress update; Finalfighter started over from beginning, redid the Bubbleman level and has been copypasting levels from Morimoto's movie to that movie. He's currently at Quickman's level (sixth level) and the movie is 3 seconds faster than Morimoto's unpublished movie was (I've seen both).
He also got contact to Morimoto a few days ago the first time in two months. I forgot what he said to me, but apparently Morimoto is going to continue the movie (from Metalman level).
The question of publishing the current progress is open.
Do you mean he will continue from the old, slower video, or from the new one when it's copypasted up to metalman?
I didn't find half of the info you cited, did you get it from him personally?
On the risk of raising false hopes... the anticipated movie might be coming up during the next 5 days. :)
Finalfighter said he's aiming to complete it today, meaning probably in the next 16 hours or so.
This is the final thing.
It's based on Morimoto's work (which in turn was based on Finalfighter's demonstrations), which is finetuned by Finalfighter and the Wily levels are played by Finalfighter alone.

Where is this info coming from? Are you deciphering comments on their BBS or is he in contact with you via e-mail? Or is it something else?
And do you mean last level, as in the cave, or just somwhere in Wily's Castle?
