Improved by 00:08.52 over my old run. I changed character usage route to keep using Kamakura longer than old movie. With experimenting this game more after my first TAS, I've decided to try kamakura to see if I can improve the run and here it is. His projectile weapon and better mid-air speed compensate Santos' best mobility attack, W-fist.

CoolHandMike: Claiming for judging.
CoolHandMike: Nice to see ninja being used more than the previous movie to get a faster time. Good routing and testing to figure out exactly where to switch to Santos. Optimization looks good and the file syncs. This is a good improvement over the previous movie.
Accepting to Standard.
Good job!
