Final movie. Forgot how many improvements since last one.
edit: 9 frames saved on world 3 stage 3. Submission text includes this.

- 1 frame saved on W1S3 (again)
- 68 frames saved on W4S3 by collecting top ones first
- 6 frames saved on W4S5 on the lowest row I guess
jhztfs is a damn good TASer and I'm blind as fuck.

- 5 frames saved on 3-1 by falling right instead of left.
- 5 frames saved on 3-2 near the end.
- 183 frames saved on 5-5, probably not optimized but I have to sleep now.
Extra-6 duo glitches can be used on 5-4 too, but they are unuseful there.

(NES)
Differences from the submitted movie:
- 1 frame saved on W1S3 by using dimension switch to bump earlier to get better vertical position
- 11 frames saved at W1 duo stage
- 36 frames saved on W4S2 by avoiding the bullet shooter better
- 5 frames saved at final stage by using a glitch to double jump/air jump... the trick is triggered by landing with satoshi on the moving platform which allows to jump with the clone too.

Saved 1 frame on W1 duo stage as stated in previous usermovie description. Probably final one.

edit2: new wip coming soon, 1 frame saved on W1S3 so far.
edit3: on new wip, 36 frames saved on W4S2 so far.

Duo stages can be improved using the "both walking right" trick, which seems to be the only duo trick that works in main stages. There might be a better route.
Edit: Apparently, most of the tricks actually only work in the last stage of extra world.

Another 2 frames saved. Probably final one.

Wrong warp @3999th frame, skips air to touch the deadly spikeball. Satoshi loves to die for no reason.
#32210532858537036 - Another failed attempt at stage 6

I didn't fully understand how wrong warp works, but I tried to send the right side Satoshi directly above after reaching antigravity, possibly ending the input much faster. Unfortunately, the moving platform didn't work.
Instead, I found another trick. In addition to only one Satoshi jumping, holding L+R makes both Satoshi walk right.
Also, an unuseful glitch: you can collect a pickup without making it disappear. It isn't demonstrated in this WIP; the snapshot below was taken from another attempt.

Saved another 4 frames on the final stage by using another LR jump. Crazy.

8 frames improved after tedious shitstorming. Improvement starts from ~4435
Tried to abuse the screen wrap trick but it would be longer because we need to switch the gravity to exit the door.
Probably improvable as I've used the LR jump.

#32190458606669414 - Inversion "Extra world" v4

In 01:16.67 (4608 frames), 16694 rerecords
Game: Inversion
(NES)
1 frame saved on last stage, "buried" to the ground later the right side satoshi (satoshi is the main character).
Two tricks and 1 useless fact discovered:
- 1. You can switch dimension and jump off from arrow walls in the same frame (doesn't saves time in the "extra" tas)
- 2. You can make an asynchronous jump by pressing LR, this way the right side satoshi will only jump (and moves to right and then goes left)
- 3. pressing DLR and ULR
crashespauses the game.

I updated the published movie with jhztfs's level 2 route with better optimization and his final level route.
edit: 9 frames faster than jhztfs original submission.

Finishes the 0th (starting) world of intense (hardest) difficulty.
Couldn't find any TASing related works on this game. It's a "new" homebrew, can be downloaded here: http://alm.ug.atman.pl/alzen/wordpress_d9/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Inversion-1.4.rar
Some platforms are available in white "dimension" while the opposite ones in "black" dimension. There's a trick to fall through blocks from a spring but didn't save time in these levels.
