Interesting watch - I do have a few questions about some of the choices made after skipping the e-tank though. -I saw afterwards that you mentioned wanting to improve this without the farming before Spore Spawn. Its a little harder for us because we can't manipulate the drops in RTA obviously, but it would be cool to see a new TAS with a little more health conservation and some drop manipulation to cut out farming all together before heading to Spore Spawn. -We've had a few discussions about this, but there are some players that believe a 3% run might be able to beat the 4% by skipping the super missiles and having a 2-round fight with just missiles. A guy named Dessyreqt made a theory-TAS a few years back of the 3% run. I'll link the video and ask that you watch the fight, particularly the 2nd round - when SS opens his mouth on the 2nd round, there is a small window when you can fit in a few missiles without SS closing his mouth. If nothing else, it may be able to help with finding a faster kill if you can get it to work with the first round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUJOuftf9QU&feature=player_detailpage#t=303 Also I may have misread, but our timing for the end is at the end of the fanfare jingle, not just on the super missile grab.
Ivan...I saw this and it seems pretty effective. I too believe that a 3% run is faster...but I'm going to have to get better at creating this TAS before I can attempt another version. It took me about 4 weeks to create this (about 1 week was learning).
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence. ---- SOYZA: Are you playing a game? NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing. SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real? ---- Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes? Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :) ---- BOTing will be the end of all games. --NYMX

Thanks everyone for your comments. Please note that this is the first time I have every created a TAS. Since I'm a programmer at work and do electrical engineering as a hobbie, I thought this TAS was very close to some of my skills. Even though I know improvements can be made...I'm still trying to discover TAS techniques in order to do it. One this is clear...my skills were definitely improved by the end of this. perhaps a revisit will produce that sub 5:30 that I was originally hoping for.
