few (17?) frames saved from 7900 to boss. knife throwers are silly.

I'm a few frames ahead of the bullets so those positions should be sacrificed to manipulate subpositions and stuffs like that.

Made a run from scratch with constantly comparing to published run. Everything went well until lightning and the boss.

Level 1 - 8 frames improved

1 frame saved by starting earlier at “1 player push start”
1 frame saved by better jumping to next scene (looks like it saved by different RNG/In-game timer)
Hidden wallzipping probably saved a frame, since boss spawn is faster too
1 frame saved by ending the scene with jump
1 frame saved somewhere around falling down vertically after getting inside the wall
Probably 3 frames saved at boss battle

Note: Combining arrow+claw damage is slower at boss (random bug)

Level 2 (Mad City) - 7 frames improved

1 frame faster before picking up powerups, not really sure about that
Probably 6 frames faster after double powerups by better jumping

Level 3 - 1 frame lost

1 frame lost at lightning #29, has something to do with in-game timer. My lightning appears ~12 frames faster.

Boss - More frames are lost

Boss timer is ~12 frames slower, diminishing my total improvements to 4 frames.

Theoritically fastest wave 1 done by manipulating X and Y position before & after 2nd bird to hit the ceiling faster (last flap/flying/A button delayed with 1 frame) and using the same last time flap/fly/A to instantly catch egg.

Fastest bird kill: when you see their green pixeled leg - the last frame before they start to fly.

Wave 2 in 784 frame.

Warning: awesome sfx manipulation, ignore this movie if you want to be surprised once it's complete.

jump sounds, bullet sounds (muted whne exploding trick), movement, music filling (mostly melody but drums too with beams and jumps).

159 frames faster than LordTom, need 3 frames to save 10 frames, and probably can shave more frames if I get extraordinary luck.

I would appreaciate it if you would PM or comment me about the sounds!

"Completely" redone WIP. Better positioning horizontally/vertically, better jumps and OoB improvements. "Resets" the game 93 frames faster by than LordTom.

Newer lua script: http://pastebin.com/F5P4xuGj

Other notes:

Currently investigating how to improve Kraid boss.
I've removed 3 lag frames by pausing for 1 frame (T, empty, T) so it saves 1 frame overall. However, I believe I get an extended 6 frames delay once the boss died because of that.
Lag frames and boss 1st missile shoot time depends on Samus previous state and position and also pauses.

My simple lua script: http://pastebin.ca/2476333

This movie shows all my discoveries so far:

You can change direction on "first" frames without losing any speed (after starting the game, after entering a room, after picking up item etc)
I decrease my speed earlier before picking up the item so I have a "lower" speed reduction.
I do it twice after picking up the item to get a better jump after unmorphing to spawn platform and to shoot the door 1 frame faster
Notice that I exit the door with L. While this doesn't save time here, it changes Samus' postion once he travels to next room. Obviously if you would go to right, it's faster to move right (as I did at the elevator)
Different OoB ending (edit: also avoided a morph jump)
Juggling lag frame positions without changing lag count by shooting and manuevering differently after OoB

19 frames faster so far. Notice that I've actually had to make 1-2 frame delay otherwise the TAS magically desyncs without any ROM change (the trace log is different however)
