=== END OF STAGE 2 (Frames: 5150) === (T3:5412)}
Threw some segments together. I'm not satisfied, so expect a few more frames out of this stage before I move on to the final stage.
For the first half, I took Team 3 and only found a few frames to save before the miniboss. I'm not entirely certain about the route between frames 57850 and 58350, which is more Team 4's route. Miniboss Skip, and up the wall with bubble barrier.
I took Team 4 for the rest of the stage, with a few differences. I still consume an Ammo Tank, but with 2 barrier HP, a change in route was done. I feel as though the stage can benefit more from abusing bubble more than I already have. I have not yet even looked at Team 5's rise through the last up segment.
Blindly copied in Team 3's boss strat, adjusting enough for position. Changed the finisher a bit, and apparently SegmentCounter claims I saved 53 frames? Well, okay. I haven't put time into analysis for the difference, I'm just pulling together a nice start before crunching down more for optimizations.
Just to check, SegmentCounter script claims I enter the end stages at frame 62901. The script also claims Team 4 got there at frame 64957, so 2056 frames ahead of the leading team. I'm not fully satisfied with this stage, particularly as I have not investigated Team 5's rather swift Segment 8. Again, I just threw this together so I have a better baseline than Team 3 to work off of.
