Looks like it might have something to do with that one bug where you press start while the stage fades out at the end to skip teleportation. This one just skips straight to the victory theme. Certainly weird. These bugs might be related, but that's all I can come up with.

A few post ago there is a link to doppler 2 boss explosion skip that I did. I don't know how this is done. However..... there is another runner who is somehow able to get this explosion skip consistantly. The video, however, is only available for nico premium members and it's a 45:31 emulator done run of X3 100% using z saber. From what I see saber slash shot is necessary for this skip to work.

So a fellow streamer told me that he can get volt kurageil explosion skip 100% of the time if he hit him high enough with final z saber slash. So I did a test stream and tried them out Here's result 1 which is just how the skip is normally intended to work. http://www.twitch.tv/zewing/b/364738367?t=58m10s He also told me that if you updash you get a pretty funny graphics glitch so I tried that too http://www.twitch.tv/zewing/b/364738367?t=71m55s Both these videos appear to have same ammount of time saved due to boss not exploding. This raises a question. How low can you hit him with saber beam and still get explosion skip? I have no idea if a TAS of 100% with Z saber is gonna happen but if it does then this skip has to be in it.

Wow, I had never known that technique. In the 100% of the game, I (Author of current 100% run) aimed for good Ending. I had to dispense with Z-saber so as to see good Ending. This rule was decided by former author and I obeyed it. Moreover, boss of doppler's level 2 is not what you were fighting in the movie. Anyway, we may be able to use that tequnique against other bosses or/and without Z-saber. Unfortunately, I don't have time to investigate it. Well, in fastest run with Z-saber, we can definitely save much times. *I tried that a bit with Z-saber without ARM-upgrade. But I couldn't do that. So I have to discover something new to do that in order to save times in fastest run or it is impossible to do that without ARM-upgrade.

Hey, heres a trick i found. If you're hit on the right frame of a charged gravity well, you can move around while the attack is still active. Im not sure whether or not it will be useful, but there may be a way :) i found it while playing casually with the game slowed down and using savestates ... What? Look, X3 just hates me, alright? I needed that Semi-TAS to play casually or even play at ALL! (it hates me ... so much O_o ) ... *ahem* sorry -_-'
I quit TASing.
