Syncs on FCEUX 2.2.3, endings starts after game over screen

Probably "final" version in the sense of (lacking) possible time saves.

Little list of all new informations - UDLR at level 1 doesn't saves time (but it works there)

- UDLR at level 3 after rats at both sides doesn't saves time because of rat spawn timer (included at f2709)

- 1st rat can't be killed with "camera dashing" trick because the camera doesn't rolls before

- AFAIK, camera rolling requires both toads to have fastest speed. Probably, their position is also a factor but I don't see this scenario where I could get 1 frame faster

- Flies are too away from the rat scene (f2851) to make use of it

- Hit cancelling doesn't helps, because 1. only works when one of the toad has no action to make a simple punch for cancelling 2. enemy hp and position factor

- Rash is always at front when he can without losing time

The only thing I see somewhat improvable is the last to final rat, but it's has the "rat spawn timer" barrier and the camera rolling stuff.

Syncs on FCEUX 2.2.3, ending starts after game over screen

- added Koh1fds's found of using void jump to die earlier after getting the jet, saves 42 frames so far (will be added as co-author)

First I will recheck movement all from the start, sync on fceux and then on bizhawk.

Notes:

finishes the time attack mode
doesn't finishes the TAS, I would need to skip the invader animation or wait it and then name entry
you can't go farther the right side to attack the very right side columns enemy but the left ones.
you need to very carefully optimize the projectile's hit (so you hit their hitbox from the front asap)
you can delay getting the next ammo, which is a bad thing. came across during moving while enemy getting hit

Observations:

the game seems to be compact, as in, there are no random lag frame differences or what so ever (good thing) edit2: I was wrong WIP19b with random 1 lag frame f8359 in this movie
enemy manipulation starts right after LET'S ROCK

possible manipulations:

4 frames to append 2, empty, empty, empty (doesn't works on every enemy)
11 frames to append S .... b ... (fastest pause unpause)
0 frames to press B right after 3 (gauge) (doesn't works on every enemy)
0 frames to positioning, running and dashing

edit: movie desyncs after fanny I guess This movie uses Jam and manipulates her with the 4 frame way.

1 frame lost because of this
many frames won because of fighting Fanny

Expected: 1px/f for 1 frame after landing on tire, 2px/f after that

Observed: 1px/f for a lot more frames

<MESHUGGAHTAS> it's because of walking on the "TRESPASSING" board

For black magic, remove R from f2305

Resynced up to ~8500 frames

Desync points due to implementing pause disable music unpause trick at the end of level 1:

bullet + doggo situation at 2nd level which looks like depends on a random 1 frame earlier start after ending the minigame level
ice level moving platforms (desync of this movie)

So many things so far

skipping 3 intro as fast as possible
pausing the game before loading level 1 (and disabling music to save 2 frames at least which only possible while pausing) and unpausing to save many frames
pausing (nearly) every 12 frames and unpausing without losing time but saving in-game time! final TAS will incude that flashy pausing stuff because I'm aiming for lowest in-game time
if you go in to a console (door, exit use etc), you can press a button within 4 frames which will be frozen in terms of pressing any other buttons while the console comes up will replay that specific button's action (which I use to get closer to the next door)
since the passwords of each door are always the same, the TAS will go each level's doors and input their password instead of brute forcing (generic way of completing levels)
menu movement might be not 100% optimized (no debugger in bizhawk, didnt found best ram address so far)
