Takes damage to save time.
Gets 100% of items(does not collect Zero's parts).
It took awhile, but here is the final product. Of the X
series games on the SNES, I think X2 is best for a time
attack, as the weapons are all extremely unique from one
another, and many actually manipulate the environment, from
a grappling hook, to a weapon which can create platforms out
of monsters to a weapon which gives you additional, and
faster midair dashes. I make sure to use the optimum weapon
in every single case. There is a massive amount of
rerecords because upon landing from a dashing jump, a couple
of frames can be saved by pushing dash at just the right
frame. Additionally, many actions take place which must be
done at the exact frame from the exact position to actually
work. None of these will actually be apparent, but they are
there. These two factors combined led to a large number of
rerecords.
I am slightly upset that the latter 4/5 or so of the movie
is of better quality than Wheel Gator's stage and boss
fight, which I am slightly unsatisfied with, but it's
something to be fixed in later versions(which may not come
for a long time)- most of this movie is astounding, and it
only gets better with time due to a greater selection of
weapons to choose from. The Shoryuken makes boss fights
less exciting, but as the other special moves in the X
series after it is acquired the movie goes extremely
quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if a 100% run actually
took less time than a minimalist run because of it. A last
note to be mentioned about it is that it actually takes a
split second to activate, hence the short pause between
dashing and using it.
An additional thing you might notice is that
when jumping off walls I often do small double
jumps. This is because even that tiny amount of
space gained is necessary to get the jump I desire.
There are many things which might be misconstrued
as mistakes, but are actually necessary for some
reason or another. Please ask me before misjudging them.
Enjoy!
