Improved 1 frame for the stage 4-2 birdy boost by

jumping 2 frames later when killing the soldier behind us
slightly different ending

This unfortunately effects stage 4-3 knife tosser, throwing the total bullshit vertical knife. We don't have enough spiritual energy to make a jump and slash. Ironically, the power up is exactly right before the knife tosser.

Successfully (completely) resynced Scumtron's fastest route with the 5 frames improvement bird boost at stage 4-2.

Removed the 2 frames delay before stage 4-2
Since bird slot 6 was sentenced to death (unmanipulatable without that 2 frames delay), improvements remain intact
Knife bitch at 5-3 defeated with a different jumping (0 cost)
Stage 6-2 boomerang festival changed so we can easily boost off the soldier
A bird killed because he had a bad slot at 6-3 3rd screen.

~~Only checked things up to Stage 5 start, not sure if there's any time saver remaining.~~ edit: I've checked the full run. I don't found nor know any possible improvement. I guess I PM Scumtron so he fills in some post boss dance and eventually submit it.

Resynced stage 5 with some losses

removed the 2 frame delay before stage 5 start
killed bird 6 in the process, losing 2 frames because of that
movie syncs up to stage 5-3 final knife bitch (which is resyncable by sacrificing 1 frame).

This movie is currently 5 - 1 frames faster because of 5-3 knife bitch.

edit: sacrificing 1 frame for the 5-3 knife bitch desyncs the movie around stage 6-2 33667 knife bitch.

Successfully resynced to stage 5 start.

Problem was not enough spiritual energy to perform jump and slash attack so I gathered a few in stage 4-2
We still have 2 frame delay before stage 5
First desync is at ~23890 second (slot 6) birdy boost to the pillar, seems to be remanipulatable

Using the previous +1 frame improvement, resynced up to stage 5. From 5 improvements, 4 lost.

Note that the next stage has 2 frame delay (after killing boss), but none of the looks feasible for this situation so far.

Another frame squeezed out at final bird of stage 4-2.

Same problems as previous (wip3) movie.

After enough pacifistiNG, I checked scumtrons unpublished fastest 39110 TAS.

Unfortunately, a 4 frames improvement from the pacifist TAS at Stage 4-2 final bird boost fucks up a few thigs most importantly

the slot7-6 tysons (resyncable by slashing 3-4frames later)
the slot7 machine gun position (resyncable by slashing 1-2 frames earlier)
the slot7 jumping girl (resyncable by jumping and slashing her)
the slot5 turret gun which is magically killed in the previous ("Ninja Gaiden--Scumtron-39110f.fm2") TAS.

The same improvement could be applied to the published TAS probably with the same unfortunate future events.

Final note: no other pacifist trick can be applied to the run (Scumtron already uses the respawn trick cleverly where applied and delaying enemies seems to be "useless"/time loser)

Implemented Scumtron's half pixel save successfully (2 frames)
Stage 4-1 improved by 8 frames thanks to a 2 in 1 manipulation of a bullet guy and the dog and a good knife bitch
Stage 4-2 loses 7 frames (from 10 frames improvement) because of bad knife bitch and birdy

Unfortunately it's also desyncs at 4-3 first knife bitch. Not sure if it's possible to sacrfice some frames to get a better knife bitch and/or birdy.

15 frames improved by dashing later at 1st rat to avoid bumping in to the camera borders. Uploaded to show some false hope about me returning to tasing.

Last use at tick 304 (305th, counter starts from 0), made for demonstration purposes and later uses to write down technical stuffs (probably beats all WRs even SR50+TLx/TRx ones and improvable).

- SR50 only when no turning (TL,TR)
