I moved on from stage 2 for now. I did an early run through of some of the next stages in the interest of making at least some progress, though they are kinda boring levels.

Still undecided if I want to take death on the first boss or not, but the damage boost in stage 2 is set up so that can be changed later.. up to the first boss though this is 95 frames faster than published movie. Not sure how much is attributed to this emulator, but stage 2 starts only 2 frames faster.
Most recent WIP, completes up to first boss where I have to finally figure out how his behavior works. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated

minor improvements throughout, and up through level 4 (didn't finish the boss yet). Had to not take damage the entire stage 4 so that I can use damage boosts to get quick hits on the boss. Kind of sucks but it is what it is
#72954535641103783 - 9 f improvement - Batman animated series (GB)
improved 9 frames in the first stage up to the boss fight, but the boss fight desyncs. Leaving it that way for now until I can figure out the boss patterns etc, so all of my savings might be for naught.
