Did you improve 3-1 by 1 frame ? I'm a bit confused because this movie ends right at the starting at the starting of 3-1, anyways there is one trick I found which you don't seem to be aware of, it can save 90-100 subpixel worth of distance and may end up saving a frame somewhere maybe another frame in 3-1 ? So the explanation is when you do a full control jump and grab the wall above you always jump (jump from ground) from the first possible frame but if you jump from the 2nd possible frame then you grab the wall at the same frame but few Sub-Pixels ahead (you can watch it in my movie file I did it at the end of 2-3 where I gained like 90 Subpixels but couldn't save a frame but maybe somewhere else ?
It may save one frame of time in other places, but after trying it out in WIP, I couldn't save one frame. So there's no need to save that little bit of sub-pixel. This WIP has been invalidated in my other WIP, and the current progress has reached level 3-2, with a 12 frame rate improvement. Starting from 3-3, a lot of work is needed to control luck and lag. It seems that the luck of this improvement is even worse, and by the end of 3-3, it may only save 8-9 frames. I am still working on optimization, and I am also busy with my own life and don't have much time to make it, so this improvement should take a lot of time to complete. The most difficult part of this game is optimizing the lag and controlling luck, which is not an easy task to complete. Even a single frame change can cause the entire lag and luck of the game to need to be re optimized, especially in levels 3-3,4-1,4-3,4-4,5-1,5-2. These levels are the most difficult part. In every movie I have published before, you don't know how difficult and frustrating optimization work I have experienced, So I didn't see any improvements to the Lag and luck parts in your improvement. Even though you made one frame of improvement on 2-1, you still couldn't keep it after the 2-4 Boss battle ended
recently I had an improvement idea where I wanted to change the climbing method at the end of 3-2 and try to reduce a walljump but I couldn't try it because my PC is not working at the moment.
