There is a way to save close to 20 frames in Area 2... Though, because of how RNG works in this game, most of it is lost later on due to lag and bad pattern at the start of Area 8. I tried my best to keep the time save going but RNG keeps getting in the way. So I'm leaving this as possible improvement for someone else to pick up this later on if they want to try their luck!

About 70% done! Currently around 3 minutes faster than current published run.
  • Area 5 was quite of a challenge. Jason's movement underwater seem simple, but they're hard to manipulate, especially when entering a room. Boss is also incredibly technical and losing frames is so easy.
  • Area 6 was harder I think, due to ice physics being so different in Japan version compared to US version. Breaking blocks also was tricky and laggy at the same time. Thankfully boss was very simple so that was nice!
Encode.... check the end :)

This was a long one to work on. Area 3 was a bit complicated due to lag being so heavy out there, so is Area 4 but at least it wasn't as long as Area 3. Overall, the reset warp from Japanese version saved a lot of time, currently 5183 frames ahead (or 86.24 seconds). Half way there! What is coming might be harder, who knows?!

Finished both Area 1 & 2. Japanese version was used for good reasons:
  • It has reset warps which is the main reason as it is a huge time saver.
  • More controllable RNG and easier lag reduction.
Going for All Bosses to stay on same theme BrotherMojo went for. So far, 831 frames saved over current publication largely due to skipping deaths on first two bosses as well as continuous lag reduction from the start.
