Syncs up to 6-1 start.
Committing suicide takes 230 frames. Thanksfully, we get full hp refill before boss start, so this WIP is 156 frames faster than previous (WIP 118) one.
Birdy boost takes 3 dmg so it should be used only when it saves a lot more than 1 dmg boosts.
First route test
  • no dmg boost at 5-2 3rd screen start (jumping ballerinas/roundhouse kickers), they have 2 dmg
  • no dmg boost at 5-2 4th screen first and last bird
  • dmg boosting from tyson 5-3 1st screen (1 dmg)
  • dmg boosting from knife bitch 5-3 5th screen (1 dmg) instead of bird
This way we end with 1 hp.
edit: fixed stage+screen numbers
edit2: possible improvements:
  • 5-2 3rd screen dmg boost jumping ballerinas (14 frames, 2dmg)
  • maybe better knife bitch on next screen (knife bitch / knife 1dmg)
  • 5-3 4th screen avoid 2dmg bullet boost (7 frames)
  • maybe better knife bitch on next screen (knife bitch / knife 1dmg)

I request that the branch is really called "pacifisting" when you submit it.

It won't, but to highlight how hard it was optimized you should include it.
Just watched the WIP. Fantastic job with HP planning, and all the rest planning as well, I never got around to redo these levels, and never tested the no-death route, but I suspected that it might be not worth it to die with proper routing.
