Y'all ever just mess up so poorly on research that it invalidates literally 99% of your TAS?

Uploading only because some of the movement improvements are at least salvageable for any future attempts at TASing this, as long as they don't interfere with subweapon usage and/or crystal collection. Subweapon crystal management pretty much needs to match the published run at least through Stage 2, possibly beyond.

It sure is!

I NEED TO STOP HAVING IDEAS

Better deathwarp, new movement tech.

Implemented suggestion from Forum/Posts/517733 and found another movement improvement.

All of disc one and the first dialogue tree of disc two to make sure the disc change synced properly. RTA time is between 9-10 minutes faster than the current WR, final RTA time of the run is expected to be between 4:25:00 - 4:35:00.

Oh, uh, right, this was a project I was working on, wasn't it?

The damage animation can be cancelled by firing while getting hit. Should save significant amounts of time: This incredibly short section saves about 70-80 frames by itself just from 3 cancels.

Backing up. Rerecord count is low but will likely spike hard once I start actually getting to the battles.

Reaches the room where David is fought for the Stradivarius without any RNG manipulation... i.e, David ain't there.

55 on Practice using #6934: Evan0512's Genesis Marble Madness in 02:34.32 with minor input adjustments. Definitely not optimized. Frames can also be saved on menuing.

stress TASed up to getting jailed. not really optimized. figured out how to manip away overworld encounters though. attempting stradivarius route.

Using superjump, in-level warps, and stage clear glitches.

Uploading for comparison purposes. Also, uh, spoilers, new Splatterhouse run coming soon. Five frames needed to be added.

Stage 2 boss. Can't seem to use fire wheels the frame after jumping and I have no idea why.

EDIT: This actually isn't the final branch (it enters the boss 1 frame later than optimal) but it doesn't matter since a 1 frame delay is needed to get the boss kill to work (and another 1 frame delay is needed on top of that). I'll just be moving on with a two frame loss to what I can only assume is emulation differences.

Team 3 (Bear and Bird): 1, 5, 6, 8, 12, 15, 17, 20

Team 5: 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19

Team 6 (Team 5): 7

Team 1 (Sisterhood of the Travelling Frames): 21

i'm beginning to think there might be a problem with how to classify ess enn ee ess test program dot ess eff cee

Hot damn!

46 frames faster than goofydylan8's abandoned(?) WIP up to the end of Stage 1. Boss playaround probably not final.

That's a long, useless title!

Same exact strategy (with faster outs), no player editing, can still be improved.

Still absolutely destroying bosses. 3621 frames ahead.

Thank Christ. 2541 frames ahead of the published run (42.35 seconds).

Gamegear Heroes got nothin' on this.

Backup. Partway through form 2 of 7.

Backing up Green again.
