I got the game recently. It's quite funny! I haven't progressed much in the plot though. All I want to express with this post is that a play-around or entertaining trade-offs may be a better choice than a pure speedrun. Didn't the author of the GTA advance run (I can't remember his name) do the same?
It started off fairly tame, but as more balls entered the picture it sure got a lot more entertaining.
Some goals and notes * Aims for the fastest time * Contains speed/entertainment tradeoffs (in some parts) * Manipulates luck (Police car’s position, traffic) * Uses a glitch that lets me go to the final mission of the main game very quickly. * Tales no damage (only Huang’s health meter) ‘Dirty AVI’ Download link (for people who have problems with the DS emulator) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=05QHAXO8 (193 MB) The input movie ends during the Shotgun blast but an extra Start button is pressed after the movie during an AVI recording just to show that the game is cleared. The ending cut scene doesn’t require input but it is pretty long. Possible Improvements: * The Police Patrol could be a bit closer but I couldn’t work out the full math if a small delay like 10 frames before triggering the cars would make a good difference. * The Comet could be better for going to Hsin’s Penthouse but with poor grip it could be difficult for optimisation. * Having the car camera set to default would make optimisation a bit easier but I chose dramatic to make the car driving sections a bit more interesting. This is the first ever GTA Chinatown Wars TAS to be submitted and I hope there will be some good competition with the future improvements of the run. Frame wars would be more challenging with the luck factor in play and optimising simple turns too. Hope you enjoy this surprisingly short movie and happy TASing.

Sorry Greenalink but....... I found a way to beat the game in 4:00 I plan to find a way to get a sub 4:00 time before I submit it. Edit: Is the Hellenbach faster than the Duke? If it is, How does it look like?
How about using the police car for the whole trip so you don't have to change cars?
How about beating up a gang member at the start for a machine gun
1 more question, the Comet is notably faster after seeing your video but can you enter Hsin's building when the yellow marker is displayed on the road or not (this is when you chase Kenny)?
