That was pretty much exactly what I was going to do with the lotus guardian. It seems that he only has 45 hitpoints in the full version, unlike 55 in the demo. Also, don't visit portal 2 immediately after beating the lotus guardian. We have another less out of the way opportunity to visit portal 2, before we need to use it. Given that there shouldn't be any randomness up to your current point, we should be able to edit out the portal 2 visit. Some of the savings you improved upon, caused me to drop my jaw a few times.

I think I may have optimized SGCLEVEL as much as I could now, with a 44 frame improvement. encode

Made some adjustments here and there. Up to where the WIP ends I saved 19 frames besides the time gained from skipping that portal. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/410381908/Battle%20Kid%20-%20Fortress%20of%20Peril_WIP.fm2 caitsith2, I see that you've put down quite a lot of effort on this game. Except what's shown in this thread I recently found the map at VGmaps and saw it was also made by you. Did you plan to finish a run to submit at this site? Since if you intended to do this yourself I of course won't steal it away from you.

For the time being, I will deal with the side bonuses, like the boss rush, petuniax, etc... I don't mind if you work on the main game itself.

Something seems a bit off to me about the hydra fight. I'm guessing there are invulerability periods to worry about but for some reason it still strikes me as some shots aren't being taken as soon as they could be.

Yeah, the bsoss is invulnerable while its mouth is closed. The other issue, is the bubble projectiles. If it was not for the timing of that third bubble on second phase, I could have finished the boss sooner. I may give it another shot later. As for Zedd, his first attack needs to be manipulated from timing his room is entered, due to there being absolutely 0 manipulation frames, once the lag frames are finished playing, and finally for the last boss, Much faster to fight from that upper platform. The one plus side to handling the boss rush, is that many of the boss strategies can be applied to the main game. Oh yeah, I look forward to Battle Kid 2 coming out, so that it can be TASed as well.

I've been working on the main game the last couple of days and found quite some new strategies and micro optimization tricks. The boss battles I've done are also faster than in the posted boss rush run. I can give it away via PM if anyone's interested, since I think I might have a submitable run ready in just some days depending on how easy the last bosses turns out to be, so there won't be much waiting time for you anyway.

Breakfast:) Actually I have no more TAS plans as of now. My TASes are often very impulsively chosen, like this one.

New revision of the lua hitbox displaying script. Now displays extended hud info, as well as where instant death zones are, among some other things.
-- Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril 
-- Written by CaitSith2
-- May 1, 2011
-- Displays Hitboxes, Enemy HP, and various stats on screen
-- Now possible to turn display of some info on/off.
-- Finally fixed hitbox drawing of sprite type 48, which is only noticeable in one room.
-- Added collision zones for Solid objects and instant death zones.
-- Marked where the blinking spikes will appear.
-- Sprite type 48 now displays a timer, for when the enemy will spawn, and a box to show where it will spawn.
-- Amethyst Angel Death hit boxes added
-- OwlBot Death hit boxes added
-- Converted from while(true) loop to register.gui
-- Fixed displaying of Lotus Gaurdian Hitbox
-- Fixed displaying of Cleo hit box.
-- Added Trigger lines for Lethal Lemons, Life Stealin' Lime, Homing Drones, Spike Traps, Sniper Snails.
-- Added Battle Information for Zedd and TY-52414ET.
-- Now differentiate between game action and cutscenes, no info displayed during cutscenes.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Sorry that I haven't posted this earlier but I initially had plans to improve it (I got lazy at the boss). However since the level doesn't have an ingame timer like the SGC level, nor is this anything to submit at this site I don't think I'll try to make it perfect. Feel free to try to improve it if you like (the boss can definitely be much better). http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/997492229/Battle%20Kid%20-%20Fortress%20of%20Perilpetuniax.fm2 Also, here's my take on the SGC level: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOF9Deh5MnM

I know I am replying to this quite late, but that PETUNIAX run caused me to have to pick my jaw up off the floor a few times. Even the password entry was more optimal than my own.

I have combined the lua scripts for both games by caitsith2 and ported it to Bizhawk. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/59827345600595517 It fully (hopefully) supports all 7 releases before Battle Kid v2.0: Battle Kid demo Battle Kid demo 2 Battle Kid v1.0 Battle Kid v1.1 Battle Kid 2 demo Battle Kid 2 new demo Battle Kid 2 v1.0 I have added partial support for Battle Kid v2.0 to the script. Most functions other than enemy information and player shot detection seem to work. I will really appreciate it if anyone can figure that part out. Edit:caitsith2 has added sprite display for BK v2.0: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/60045844721779290
