Any news on this zk547?
zk547, maybe this encode will help you.
The information about the bosses' hp is very helpful, especially in the final mission. I always wondered how much hp the bubble had in the final mission. This will be very helpful. Thanks mtvf1!!
Do you know 1 player's BOSSHP is lower than 2 players? I don't know you do the 1 player or 2 players. Can you post your wip here?
Boss hp is lower for 1 player than 2 players. However, it's not much lower and in level 8, 2 players is probably faster than 1 player. I'm using 2 players at level 8. WIP here's the wip. It goes to the end of mission 3. I'm trying to improve the fight against Jupiter King (mission 3) because I was about 15 frames short of achieving an in-game time of 57.
The bossHP is random, I will add your other run's HP in the future.Language: wch16 00000 00100474 w u 0 screenX 00001 00100478 w u 0 screenY 00002 00100524 w u 0 1PX 00003 00100528 w u 0 1PY 00004 001005D4 w u 0 2PX 00005 001005D8 w u 0 2PY 00006 001011AA w u 0 BOSS1 00007 00102C7A w u 0 BOSS2 00008 0010075A w u 0 B2-M1 00009 00100C2A w u 0 B2-M2 0000A 0010146A w u 0 B2-M3 0000B 0010309A w u 0 B2-M4 0000C 0010340A w u 0 B2-M5 0000D 00103A3A w u 0 B2-M6 0000E 001027AA w u 0 BOSS3 0000F 0010217A w u 0 BOSS4
zk547, did you complete mission4? Something I forget to say, when you got L, you can pass once A every 24 frames. Because Laser gun power is 8*2, every 4 frames 1 shot, shot 5 times when pass A once. But the last shot power is 8*4 in 8 frames. So Laser's real arms is equal to 240. Before boss battle 4, if you can save more 1 or 2 Flameshot than x2poet's run, you didn't need to wait the second L from prisoner.
Hey guys, sorry for the inactivity for the past few months. I was really hoping I could finish this soon, but a combination of lack of motivation and real life stuff kept me from getting any further. Recently, I just got motivated to work on this again. I managed to save about 15 frames from Jupiter King and now making progress in mission 4. mtvf1, if you could add the rest of the boss HP (mission 4 and 5) here sometime, I would appreciate it.
Alright, finally finished the first section of mission 4. I wanted to get further, but the emulator wasn't being cooperative. I'm at the pyramid section and about to engage the mosquitoes. The question is, whether I should pick up C or stick with H. C does 30 damage compared to H, which does 10, and is much better suited for fighting them. If I pick up C, I engage the mosquitoes about 100~120 frames (rough comparison) later than if I had stuck with H. X2poet, mtvf1, any thoughts?
Do you mean pack up C will cost more 100~120 frames, or you have tested that use C is slower than H? These mosquitoes' HP are 140(I'm not sure every mosquitoe has the same HP). Don't forget C's smoke can damage mosquitoe, too. But all the C and H are slower than F, because F can hit more mosquitoes in once attack. I don't konw C or H is better, but you can manipulate luck and use F to hit most mosquitoes.
Do you know how the FlameShot work? FlameShot include main flame and side flame. Main flame power is 20 and hit 13 times in 26 frames, if no lag. The side flame power is from 0 to 5, but hit more long time. F's all power is 314. The data's change you can see: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1634986592
So you should jump and use F to shot mosquitoes.
In the beginning of mission5, you can try to throw the plane at first time. I know in 1player, there is a chance to get F.
Are you saying that in the first mosquito fight, I should jump and shoot F sideways because it does more damage than just shooting upwards?
I know that in 1 player mode, if you throw away your slug at the very beginning, you can get an extra bomb and F or C. But as far as I remember, this is not the case in 2 player. There's no bomb, C, or F. Of course I will check to make sure that is correct.
I think only shotting upward on the ground is enough.
Shooting upward on the ground does the most damage. Shooting upward while jumping is the fastest way to shoot F, but each shot does less damage. I don't know how much. I'll have to do some testing with that.
After my test, I think you can choose the fastest way to shot. If you can keep every flame shot's main flame hit boss 6 times(when jumping, you can hit 6 times, too), only need 31 or 32 Flame shot. You have 1000 frames to use L, so in these 1000 frames, try to use most F. F every 32 frames 1 shot, in normal place(if no lag). I think you have enough time to use F, 1000/32+1≈32 (1 is first shoot). Edit: The middle's Y pixel is higher than side, maybe in the middle is faster than in the side, when using F.
In case anyone's wondering, I'm still working on the mission 4 boss (I haven't been able to work on this everyday). I'm trying to manipulate the boss to go to the left without having to delay any F or L. Currently the best possible way I found is to delay shooting L for 3 frames with no delay for F. I'll keep looking for other ways if possible.
Why you let boss go to left? Because of the less death-ray in screen and the less lag? And what's meaning "3 frames" ? why not 2 or 4 frames? Because metalslug is 30 fps game in 60 fps system, every 2 frames have 1 frames which no effect.
