This is intended to be a suplementary movie to tvik's version (which was a morimoto-style playaround).
The difference is that in this version I try to kill everything that is possible with superhuman accuracy. This task is actually about 1000 times more difficult than the morimoto-style playing-around. You can do the morimoto-style run with some tens of re-records (it's really easy when emulating in slow-motion), but this one needed more than a thousand.
I also play around for show, but that's only the secondary objective.
Some enemies do escape and thus this unfortunately is not a 100% kills run. In most of the cases killing all the enemies was simply impossible, but I might have missed a couple of killable ones (my bad). However, this run is so incredibly and horrendously laborious, that I'm not touching this game anymore in my life. I estimate that I spent a total of more than 20 hours of work on this. It's exhausting.
(Btw, if you are wondering about the scorpion-looking enemy I never kill, it's not killable. It's just an enemy which tries to steal the "options", but doesn't seem to be possible to kill. Another non-killable monsters are the tentacle plants in the plants level.)

Bisqwit: In comparison, I spent more than 100 hours of work at Rockman, and I'm going again at it. :)
Not that it affects this submission at all.
It looks good.
Phil: A couple hundreds of hours for that SCV4. What is sad, it can be improved a little. Damn it. ;)
Bisqwit: Publishing.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. Warp has obviously done a very good job, but unfortunately I think the game itself is very boring to watch (and I like watching shooters). So I'm going to give this a "no" vote. There are exceptions: Stage 4 (the Moai Head stage), and Stage 7 are both exciting to watch, so maybe the .smv is worth downloading for that. On the other hand, tviks' submission was accepted, and I like this movie better than I like tviks' playaround.
