So I was playing around with some of my older ROMs when i happened upon Nosferatu. This is one of my favorite games for the SNES, as it mixes the puzzle aspects of Prince of Persia and the fighting aspects of Final Fight. With that, I was thinking that a time attack for this game would make for a good movie. I think it would take maybe 25 minutes on the highest difficulty, without having to collect any of the blue crystals that add to your health. Any thoughts?

I got bored and decided to do a decently professional run through the game. Played on Hard Mode, takes no hits, done in 25:30. There are only two spots that really require redoing. edit: i forgot to mention that i start the game off with the full power cheat. it gives you 9 crystals off the bat, which makes everything in the first level super easy. Someone please beat my time!

I guess it's too late to accept your challenge... anyway, I'm working on an improvement to the published run by FODA. I'll take damage to save time like him, but I'll avoid all red crystals, among other small changes. edit: the werewolf fight is done, 00:29.53 seconds ahead, the red crystals are useless so far; http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/89354938/Dooty-Nosferatu.smv
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

Found a new trick, pretty much like the auto turn delay of Oddworld. Start running near a ledge, release the directional pad then jump as soon as you can, when the character lands on the other side he will fall through the floor. Couldn't find a spot to use it to save time yet, as bumping on the walls cancels the glitch, also he must jump to platforms of the same level and can't turn around, but I'm still testing. anyway, I'm on my way to fight the second boss, the Twin Orangutans, 00:42.13 seconds ahead.

Only two days? wow! I think I can finish this in a week or two. edit: the fall through floor glitch saved quite some time on the Mansion, I'm now 01:25.78 (5147 frames) ahead up to the third boss. edit 2: I discovered a very effective combo against bosses, now I'm 01:44.55 (6273 frames) ahead, still up to the third boss; start any combo, after the second hit press down for one frame, wait 9 frames then forward+Y. (I think it's not even possible to do it in real time, at least for me...) edit 3: Still stuck on the third boss, it's kinda hard to manipulate his head off screen: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/330585000/Dooty-Nosferatu.smv also, the new combo is pretty much useless against it, so I'm considering the possibility to collect some red crystals. edit 3: two normal punches between the jump-kick and no crystals are needed. I'm now 02:35.03 (9302 frames) ahead up to the fourth boss. edit 4: I'm now 02:52.65 ahead after the fourth boss thanks to a new glitch, I'll call it "blind play" for now. edit 5: wow, it's also possible to enter walls using the fall through floor glitch, so I'm going back some stages to test it, let's see. Last edit: Couldn't find any way to save time on the walls that is possible to pass through, I'm in the midle of the final stage now, 03:22.72 ahead and it will be submitted soon.
