Could one get some pointers on how to get this to synch? All movies posted so far desynch in the first level for me.

You have to disable SRAM at the beggining of the movie. Otherwise it will desynch.

I'm glad the apple trick and the axe trick were useful. Nicely done with the blue ball and the remote control in the latest WIP. Maybe you could try activating the shield item before hitting this enemy here: The shield was bouncing around nearby anyway, so it should not take too many frames to activate it. Then you might be able to fall through the enemy instead of bouncing on him.

I threw the key away & managed to grab the shield. However, due to the trijectory of the key, It landed in a bad position. This would force me to stop my foward movement & grab the key, thus losing time. On another note, I finally managed to get back to where I was before! I was able to salvage most of the previous WIP up to this point too, saving me the time from redoing it. Updated Progress This is now 2025 frames faster than my previous WIP, and 10013 frames faster than Equinox's run.

Saved 1 frame at the end of this mine cart level: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/174813763/puggsy-improve1.gmv Also, throwing the chest at the torch should save some frames here: In the same level, maybe go further to the right while waiting for the key and grab it while running left, so you don't need to turn around slowly? EDIT: Saved 5 frames at the first water level: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/49775219/puggsy-water-impro.gmv I believe more frames can be saved there with better item boosts.

Cool improvements! Here's my take on the water boost: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/860745730/puggsy-water-impro.gmv This should be 3 frames faster than your movie. I'll try to improve the Badger Mill level next & then splice in the mine improvement. EDIT: Ok, Did all the other improvements now: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1856630072/Puggsy%20TAS.gmv Anything else?

You could avoid slowdown by jumping before frame 2923. It may not save any frames though. Oh, I guess I mentioned that one already. So, can't really find anything else at the moment. Great work, Starikkuson!

The lag frames dont freeze the game, so there wouldnt be any frames saved there. But thanks! I did some more progress on saturday: Progress I should be well under sub-20 min. now. ^_^
