A few improvements were made as they were either missed out or there were new and faster routes. Also we used Zurggriff’s inputs…

Comments
Emerald Hill
Act 1: I used a different start strat route to get the 1st couple of rings and that helped me save a second getting to the 1st 2 checkpoints. Then after the 2nd I used a frame perfect loop jump to get up to the top of the 2nd loop, then did a spin dash jump to get to the higher route, then another spin dash jump to get me onto the moving platforms, where I reached the 3rd platform, and spin dashed onto the top of the loop to get the 3rd checkpoint.
Act 2: the only Notable change was really the zip I used from getting enough speed on the spin dash from the 5th checkpoint to get into the wall and onto the top of the spikes, where I zipped onto the loop with enough speed, sending me back onto the 2nd spike platform, zipping me onto the platform, at which I can get the 6th chaos emerald.
Chemical Plant
Act 2: I saved a few frames from my previous run by optimizing my inputs and speed.
Metropolis
Act 1: Thanks to DarkShamilKhan’sTest TAS I was able to pull off the newly founded trick (found originally by JoeyBaby69) and also improve DarkShamilKhan’s TAS by a second!
Act 3: I implemented another newly founded zip by JoeyBaby69 saved a whopping 15.2 seconds!
Wing Fortress
Takz said he lost 4 frames from Zurggriff’sTAS. But overall, ended up saving 19.7 seconds from my very poorly attempt in The run we obsoleted.
Other comments (from Takz)
After some time I just found out we basically improved the total in-game time of Zurggriff's any% TAS by 313 frames (11:22::41 -> 11:17::28) although these new strats that were implemented here excluding Emerald Hill would definitely have saved over 20 seconds in the any% run.
Special Thanks!
- DarkShamilKhan: For the test TAS and for the inspiration to start TASing!
- Takz: For agreeing to do Wing Fortress and overall being my #1 go to TAS partner!
- Shiro Paradox: For the temp encode and support!
- rodonic01: For the support and help on pause manipulation during the capsule wait!
Samsara: Judging.
Samsara: Dropping due to personal life events preventing me from being able to judge anything with a clear mind.
nymx: Well, ShiningProdigy9000 continues the cuts. Everything looks good here and I'm glad to see even further optimization.
