This movie is 662 frames faster than the published run. That includes improvements in Kazakh and includes the last discovered zip in Red Dragon!

Stage by stage comments

Kazakh

I did the zip faster holding Down button after jump to keep the speed in the air and enter to the wall faster. In the doors i did mini-zips to keep Strider as far to the left possible to pick up the item as soon as it appears on the screen.

Australia

Took me a while to understand the speed boost but finally did it, positioning the screen in the right place was hard too but i did as fast as possible. In the Cave part i did Slides slightly faster keeping the speed, taking damage pushed me a bit to make slides faster. Boss time, the Box fight was a bit faster too but i didn't die because in the next Stage I have to make a zip and with the death the values of the jump changes.

Red Dragon

New zip!, you have to purchase the 'Jump' (Strider jumps higher) and you must jump as soon as possible to appear in the screen below. To make the Boss appears you need to position the screen a little to the right and down and then go to the mid of the screen to fight him.

Other comments

Thanks to the Strider community for the technically help and finding improvements and awesome things in this game!
Masterjun: Judging.
Masterjun: There were some minor potential optimizations pointed out, but nothing to prevent this movie from being accepted. Accepted to Moons as an improvement to the previous movie.

When is Strider 2 getting an improvement? Link to video To note this is faster than this submission by 172 frames. I am curious how this compares to the few userfiles to this game.

Great improvement!
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

Only watched first minute of the encode. Missing optimal air sliding and 2nd zip seems to be a very little slower than my old wip.
