About moving method

The method of using last time used
  • Maria: backdash,blank*3,sliding,blank*10,Chara Change
-> (15936+15488+15040+14592+18112+17792+17472+17152+16832+16512+16192+15872+15552+15232+14912+14592)/16=16080
  • Richiter: forward,(backdash,forward+crouch)*3,(backdash,blank)*2,sliding,blank*3,Chara Change
-> (10240+15832+13432+15832+13432+15832+13432+15832+13432+15832+15280+16064+15744+15424+15104+14784)/16=14720.5
:The whole average->15400.25
  • Loop movement of backdash cancellation
forward -> backdash,forward+crouch,...
  • Maria: 8192-> (15936+13536)/2=14736
  • Richiter: 10240-> (15832+13432)/2=14632
Additional run method of Richter used for improvement this time
  • Use Attack target: backdash,sliding,blink*2,sliding tackle,attack,blank*9,Chara Change
->(15832+16064+15744+15424+17248+17088+16928+16768+16608+16448+16288+16128+15968+15808+15648+15488)/16=16217.5
  • Use MP: backdash,sliding,blink,sliding tackle,attack,blank*7,UP,Left,Down,Right+Attack+Chara Change (tackle+change)
->(15832+16064+15744+17248+17088+16928+16768+16608+16448+16288+16128+15968+15808+15648+15488+16064)/16=16257.5
When sliding tackle is issued at back dash motion, it is possible to suppress the decrease in speed at the time of sliding tackle motion cancellation. When motion is canceled, the descent is started. The descent start point is manipulated by attack. However, in this case the character change will be delayed. Avoid this by object attack or MP use.
Noxxa: Judging!
Noxxa: Excellent improvement. It's always nice to see how character movement is pushed to the limit in these sorts of runs. Accepting as an improvement to the published movie.
fsvgm777: Processing.

Nicely done!
[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero
