I'll support using dehacked. It makes my work
encoding a lot easier, with the details it provides.
Also, a few things jumped out at me, and I don't TAS so I might be wrong, but:
1: I'm fairly certain it's faster to kill bosses in the center of the screen, as the 'victory' sequence doesn't begin until the death animation disappears entirely. Maybe I'm wrong or it wasn't possible to do without losing frames.
2: You can hit the ice boss with the junk shield or whatever (come on, like any of you remember all the names of the identical bosses) before the battle starts, and I *think* it damages his life bar. This one I'm much less certain of.
Otherwise, the run was very nice and I'm much looking forward to it finishing.
EDIT: lol, I hit submit before it finished uploading. My bad. Will edit if no one posts before then. Check back in a half hour or so.
