Saved 1 frame on 3-1 with new route:

Sweet. Only one problem. 3-2 knife tosser became angry and hurls knives.

Saved 1 frame on 3-2 (jump 1 frame earlier without sacrificial green guy manipulation).

3-1 would require a half pixel to improve it, doesn't seems to be implementable (even the same position isn't enough without proper interrupts).

Saved 1 (edit: or 2? compare to last file) frame on 3-1 with different start (interrupt juggling over damage boost or avoiding without interrupts route), probably improvable (I had to use interrupt between dog and knife tosser to get fast recovery).

Also next level missile guys position fixed but the first bird hit us (so we need to jump 1 frame later, need to test which is faster (subpos manip to prvious route or jump later for better birds and knife tosser positions).

2 frames saved, subposes changes and different damage boosts (important half pixel after last bullet boost)

Changing (slot 5 mainly) subpositions without adding delay at 2-2 "second" screen (at RWJ from bullets) let me to skip the first knife thrower on last screen which is now even more faster.

Current 2-2 last screen route:

Probably 1-2 frames can be squeezed more (judging from the distance between last green soldier and Ryu). The places where I can definitely manipulate slot 5 is very few, so 2-2 second screen looks the only feasible one to waste rerecords.

Tested a LOT of different routes with different subposes and delay timing and interrupts etc, so don't be fooled by small low rerecord count. I was able to save more than 1 frame to get "similar" knife thrower in 2-2 last screen.

Saved 2 frames after jumping through guardian of ladder 2-1 with the earlier 1 frame improvement (3 frames saved).

Currently I get worse knife thrower at 2-2 last screen (slot5, knife slot 4), it looks easy to fix, however later input needs to be revised.

So...

Might be possible to save 1 frame on 3-2 but the missile guy spawn doesn't seem to manipulatable with the positions I can squeeze before hand (so I can't sacrifice enough to make it a time saver currently).

WIP version numbers: everytime I finished a test and can't continue the next ones (I need to save previous WIPs to compare various aspects of routes).

Saved 3 frames on 3-2 with:

It was 6 frames but fucking timer rule on boss...

Probably syncs for a few stage 4-2 screens. Next tests:

edit: and check feos' timer trick for bosses (didn't checked it for a while)

Everything went well until the bird at 3-2 doesn't leaves the screen with identical input. Maybe only subpos problem, can't verify it.

5 frames faster 3-1, 28 (-3) frames faster 3-2.
